Bring Your Partner, Spouse, or Family to the UK — For Good.
The Partner (Spouse) visa lets couples and families live together permanently in the UK — built around a genuine relationship, a clear financial requirement, and a five-year path to settlement.
Live Together, Permanently, in the UK
The Partner visa sits under Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules. It lets a husband, wife, civil partner, or long-term unmarried partner join a British citizen, someone with settled status, or a person with refugee or humanitarian protection, and live together in the UK.
Unlike work or business visas, approval here turns on relationship evidence and finances rather than qualifications — which is exactly where applications most often go wrong, and exactly where our expertise makes the difference.
- Settlement (ILR) possible after 5 years together
- £29,000 minimum income — or savings instead
- Full right to work or study from day one
- Children under 18 can join at no extra income cost

Before You Ask
Partner Visa Questions, Answered Plainly
What counts as a "genuine and subsisting" relationship?
The Home Office wants to see an ongoing, committed relationship intended to be permanent — not just a marriage certificate. Evidence typically includes shared finances, cohabitation records, communication history, and visits, especially if you've spent time apart due to visa restrictions.
Do I need to earn £29,000 myself, or can we combine income?
The sponsor's income is what counts, though if the applicant is already in the UK lawfully with permission to work, their income can be added. The £29,000 figure applies regardless of whether children are included in the application.
Can savings replace the income requirement entirely?
Yes. If income falls short, savings above £16,000 can be converted at a set multiple to cover the gap, or sufficient savings alone can meet the full requirement. We calculate the exact figure your case needs.
What English level do I need, and does it change later?
You need CEFR level A1 for your first application, A2 for your extension after roughly 2.5 years, and B1 for settlement. Passing at a higher level early can let you reuse the same certificate at later stages.
What happens if we don't meet the financial requirement?
You may still have options — for example, if refusal would breach your right to family life under human rights law, or if a qualifying child would be seriously affected. These routes are more complex and are assessed case by case.
