UK SPOUSE VISA

The UK Spouse Visa, commonly known as a UK Marriage Visa, allows non-UK nationals to join their partner in the UK. Your spouse must be either a British citizen or a UK settled person.

If you're married to a UK citizen who's already settled in the UK (that's a person who can stay in the UK for as long as they like without any pesky immigration restrictions), then the UK Spouse Visa might be the perfect way for you to join them. Also called the UK Marriage Visa (because let's face it, "spouse" is a fancy word), this visa is designed for people who want to settle down with their significant other in the UK.
