Are you also trying to bring your partner to the UK? Well, you are not the only one. In this blog, we will discuss how you can bring your spouse to the country. So get ready!
Routes To Bring Your Partner In The UK
If you are settled in the UK or are a British national, then you can bring your partner through many routes. You can bring them into the country on a dependant visa or by sponsorship. Your partner can come to the UK through a dependent visa if they apply under the Skilled Worker route. Keep in mind that we are talking about the Skilled Worker route only, NOT the Overseas Domestic Worker (ODW) route.
Proving Your Relationship
Mostly, you will have to prove either one of the following:
- You both are married
- In a civil partnership
- Live together for a minimum 2 years in a relationship before applying
You both will also have to prove that your relationship is genuine and subsisting at the time you apply for the visa.
Going For Family Visa
You can also go for a Family visa to sponsor your partner if you are a British citizen or settled in the country. You can apply for this visa whether you are married or not. For this visa, you and your partner have to prove that your relationship is genuine while meeting financial and English language requirements.
The type of visa route you and your partner go for depends on various factors. It is important that you make an informed decision, so gather as much information as you can before applying.
