UK Spouse Visa – Reunite with Your Loved One in the UK
At Sleek Immigration UK, we understand the importance of being close to the people who matter most. The UK Spouse Visa allows non-UK partners of British citizens or settled individuals to live together in the United Kingdom. Whether you're applying from outside the UK or switching from another visa category, our expert team is here to make the process smooth, clear, and stress-free.
What is a UK Spouse Visa?
The UK Spouse Visa is part of the UK’s Family Visa category. It allows a non-UK national to join their husband, wife, or civil partner in the UK for an initial period of 30 months (2.5 years), with the option to extend and eventually apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and British citizenship.
Key Eligibility Requirements
To apply successfully, you and your partner must meet the following criteria:
Relationship Requirement
You must be legally married, in a civil partnership, or have lived together in a relationship for at least two years. Genuine, ongoing relationships are essential.
Financial Requirement
The UK-based sponsor must earn a minimum of £18,600 annually. This amount increases if dependent children are involved. Income can include employment, self-employment, pensions, or savings.
English Language Requirement
The applicant must prove English proficiency via a recognised test or hold an academic qualification taught in English.
Accommodation
Suitable accommodation must be available for the couple and any dependents without needing public funds.
Intent to Live Together
Both partners must show clear intent to live together permanently in the UK.

Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR): After 5 years on the spouse visa route, you can apply for permanent residence.
