Overview

What this visa gives you.

A Spouse Visa allows the foreign national husband or wife of a citizen or settled resident to join their spouse and reside lawfully in that country. The visa is grounded in a legally recognised marriage and requires both parties to demonstrate the relationship is genuine and subsisting. Most spouse visa programmes operate on a phased basis, granting an initial temporary period before the applicant becomes eligible to apply for indefinite leave to remain or permanent residency. Financial and accommodation requirements are typically set by the sponsoring spouse.
