Spouse Visas for Employed Individuals
MLC Immigration Lawyers specialise in providing UK visa support and guidance to those wishing to meet the financial requirements to sponsor their partner (spouse, unmarried partner, partner or fiancé) either to enter or remain in the UK. The immigration rules have made it highly complex to secure spouse visas in the UK. Here at MLC Immigration Lawyers we are here to advise and navigate this complicated visa route.

The spouse visa route requires a large amount of paperwork including proof that you are in a genuine relationship, have a certain level of knowledge of the English language, details about your employment and proof that you meet the financial requirements.

Financial requirements for Spouse Visas
In most cases, you must be able to prove that you earn a gross annual income of over £18,600 in order to qualify for a spouse visa. However, there are some exceptions to this:

If you have case savings, you may be able to secure a spouse visa with a lower annual income
If you have children or dependents, you will likely need proof that you have access to more than the minimum annual salary
If you receive ‘permitted benefits’ than you may not need to meet the minimum salary requirements

The financial requirements differ depending on where you are applying from (inside or out of the UK), your financial status and the size of your family.

We cater to provide immigration services to a range of professional clients and families, and can guide you through the rules of the immigration office to help you understand if you and your family qualify for Spouse and Dependent visas.
