UK Spouse Visa Application – Your Guide to Reuniting with Your Partner

Submitting a UK spouse visa application is the essential step for foreign nationals who want to join their British or settled partners in the UK.

You can apply if your spouse or civil partner is:

  • A British citizen

  • Holds Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR)

  • Has refugee or humanitarian protection status

Applicants must be over 18 and in a genuine and subsisting marriage. You may apply from outside the UK or switch from another visa category within the country, depending on your circumstances.
