What is a UK Spouse Visa?
A UK Spouse Visa (also known as The UK Family Visa) allows a non-UK partner to join or remain with their spouse or partner who is:
A British citizen or settled person (holding Indefinite Leave to Remain or permanent residence)
Legally married or in a civil partnership, or in a genuine relationship of at least two years’ cohabitation
This visa is usually granted for 2 years and 6 months, with the option to extend and later apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and eventually British citizenship.
