UK Spouse Visas

The UK Spouse Visa enables individuals married to British citizens or persons settled in the UK to join their partner and build a life together in the UK. This visa requires applicants to meet specific eligibility criteria, including proof of a genuine relationship, intent to live together permanently, and compliance with minimum financial requirements. From April 2024, sponsors must show an annual income of at least £29,000. The application process involves detailed documentation, such as evidence of income, suitable accommodation, and proof of a valid and ongoing relationship.

Our experienced solicitors provide tailored support, ensuring your application is comprehensive and addresses potential challenges to increase your chances of a successful outcome. Contact us for professional assistance with your UK Spouse Visa application and a free initial assessment to discuss your circumstances.

UK Fiancé(e) Visas

The UK Fiancé(e) Visa allows individuals engaged to a British citizen or a person with settled status in the UK to enter the country with the purpose of getting married or entering a civil partnership. This visa provides a six-month window for couples to formalise their relationship, after which applicants can apply to switch to a UK Spouse Visa, allowing them to stay in the UK and eventually apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). While on the Fiancé(e) Visa, the applicant is not permitted to work, as the visa is granted solely for the purpose of marriage or civil partnership.

To be eligible, applicants must demonstrate a genuine relationship, a shared intent to live together permanently, and financial stability without recourse to public funds. As of April 2024, sponsors are required to show an annual income of at least £29,000. Additional requirements include proof of adequate accommodation in the UK and sufficient English language proficiency.

At Axis Solicitors, one of the UK’s leading immigration firms, our expert solicitors offer full support throughout the Fiancé(e) Visa application process. We provide personalised advice to ensure your application meets all requirements, from gathering relationship evidence to fulfilling financial criteria. Contact us for a free initial assessment, and let us guide you through each step to secure your Fiancé(e) Visa to start your journey towards a life together in the UK.

UK Proposed Civil Partner Visas

The UK Proposed Civil Partner Visa allows individuals engaged to a British citizen or settled UK resident to enter the UK with the intention of registering their civil partnership. This visa provides a six-month window to finalise the union, making it ideal for those who wish to formalise their relationship and take steps toward building a life together in the UK. Although the visa does not immediately grant settlement rights, it offers a pathway to further visa options, such as the Civil Partner Visa, which can lead to long-term residency and, ultimately, Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).

Applicants must demonstrate a genuine relationship, the intent to form a civil partnership within six months of arrival, and financial stability. From April 2024, sponsors will also need to meet a minimum income requirement of £29,000 per year.
