To reside in the UK with your spouse, you must apply to the UK Home Office. Your application must include strong evidence of meeting the requirements for a Spouse Visa.

The UK Spouse Visa, commonly known as a UK Marriage Visa, allows non-UK nationals to join their partner in the UK. Your spouse must be either a British citizen or a UK settled person.

The Home Office is adopting a more stringent approach in assessing spouse visa applications. Therefore, it is crucial to meticulously adhere to the correct procedures and present a thorough submission that effectively proves your eligibility.
