Spouse Visa & Extensions

Bring your partner to the UK

Spouse Visa Solicitors in the UK

A spouse visa allows partners of British citizens or settled persons to live in the UK, subject to strict eligibility and evidential requirements. Applications must demonstrate a genuine and subsisting relationship, meet financial and accommodation thresholds, and comply with the Immigration Rules. Extensions require ongoing compliance and careful preparation to avoid refusal.

As SRA-regulated immigration solicitors, we advise on both initial spouse visa applications and extensions. We assess eligibility, review supporting evidence, and prepare compliant applications that address Home Office requirements and reduce the risk of refusal.
