The Spouse Visa allows non-UK residents to join their spouse or partner who is either a British citizen or settled in the UK.

The applicant must prove a genuine relationship, meet financial requirements, and provide evidence of accommodation and English language proficiency.

The application involves submitting supporting documents, such as marriage certificates, proof of relationship, and financial statements.

Spouse Visa holders may apply for an extension to continue living in the UK with their spouse or partner. This is usually after the initial two-and-a-half-year period.

Applicants must demonstrate that the relationship is ongoing and that financial and accommodation requirements are still met.

If a Spouse Visa application is refused, the applicant has the right to appeal the decision based on specific grounds such as insufficient evidence or misunderstanding of the relationship.

Appeals are filed with the First-tier Tribunal, and legal representation is recommended to argue the case effectively.
