Applying for a UK Spouse Visa is a crucial step for couples planning to live together in the UK. Our skilled Spouse Visa Lawyers can guide you through this process, whether you're applying from within the UK or abroad. The application process varies depending on your current immigration status. If you're already in the UK on a valid visa like a Fiancé Visa, work visa, or student visa lasting over six months, you may be eligible to switch to a Spouse Visa from within the UK. Alternatively, if you're outside the UK, you can apply at a British embassy abroad. Upon approval, you'll receive entry clearance to the UK, allowing you to live and work here. It's essential to note that as a non-British partner, you won't have access to public funds until you qualify for indefinite leave to remain after five years of continuous residence. Navigating the Spouse Visa application process requires attention to detail and legal expertise, making professional assistance invaluable for a successful outcome. Contact our team today for tailored guidance and support in securing your UK Spouse Visa.
