How do I get my Spouse Visa back after I get divorced?
If the supporting spouse or Spouse Visa holder gets divorced or separated, they need to tell the Home Office right away. Moreover, if you wait too long, it could hurt your immigration standing and make it harder for you to get a different visa.
If your stay in the UK rests on your ex-partner’s UK visa, you have 60 days from the time of disclosure to get a new visa or leave the country before the old one is officially revoked. When your 60-day stay is up, your visa will no longer be valid. Any violation of visa terms, on the other hand, could lead to the immediate cancellation of the visa.
Our experienced UK immigration Solicitors can help you with your immigration process.
How to keep the home office up to date after a divorce
You should let the Home Office know right away after filing that you want to separate. You need to let the Home Office know about the following:
Either a Public Statement or a Consent Form, depending on whether you want your ex-partner to see a private letter or not.
A cover letter with information about you and your ex-partner
If either of you has kids in the UK, information about them.
A divorce decree, a separation agreement, or some other legal paper that says your relationship is over.
How does a divorce affect my right to remain in my current residence?
In most situations, you can’t stay in the UK after getting divorced if your right to live there comes from your ex-partner alone. You may be able to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) if you have lived in the UK for ten years or more without stopping (on any visa). With ILR, you can live and work in the UK for as long as you want, which can lead to British citizenship.
To stay in the UK longer, you can get another type of family visa based on a family member who has ILR or British citizenship, or you can get a work visa, such as a T2 skilled worker visa.

Can I sponsor another spouse after Divorce UK?
It is possible to sponsor a new partner after a divorce. The Spouse visa you had before will be revoked. To get a new visa for your new marriage or civil union, you must first tell the Home Office.
It is normal for UKVI to look into the new relationship in more detail. When someone applies for a spouse visa a second time, they usually have to take into account more factors. This frequently occurs when you divorce and promptly apply for a new partner visa. How well your visa application goes may depend on how long it’s been since your last breakup.
For someone who has been sponsored before and wants to support someone else, they must be a British citizen or be eligible for ILR. They cannot reject your application solely because you were previously supported on a Spouse Visa in a past relationship. You must be able to pay your new partner, though, when you apply. Moreover, you must either have Indefinite Leave to Remain or be a member of the United Kingdom. If you were a victim of domestic violence during your relationship breakup, you may be eligible to apply for ILR.
Requirements for UK Spouse Visa after divorce
When the Home Office issues a Spouse Visa, the truth of the connection is a big part of the decision. As a result, significant documentation about the relationship is required to be exchanged. It might be harder to get a second partner visa. It will be necessary for you to provide:
- Pictures taken at different events, including ones with family and friends
- Phone calls, emails, and message logs
- Joint financial responsibilities such as bank accounts, bills, and mortgage papers
- A record of shared life events
- Proof of where you’re staying
- Important papers about children from past relationships
Our experienced UK immigration Solicitors can help you with your immigration process.
Having kids from a past relationship
If the person sponsoring or the new spouse on the application has children from a past relationship, there are new things to think about. The Home Office needs to make sure that the kids are safe. If you are a parent and want to extend or apply for a new UK visa, you may need to show proof of things like child support payments and custody deals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Ans. The new spouse will need to meet basic Home Office requirements for their stay in the UK. This includes showing that you are legally married and that you can support your spouse and any dependents. No matter what, they have to meet the English language standards. This also means getting a B1 score on the English test.
Ans. Any violations or overstays in your past break visa rules and may restrict your ability to stay in the country. This could lead to removal or make it harder to get a visa in the future. If you want to stay in the UK after getting divorced, you need to make new visa plans with the Home Office.
It’s not a good idea to apply for a new Spouse Visa with a different partner during the 60-day ban. Partly, this is because the Home Office can choose to give you an extra 28 days to apply for a new partner visa instead of the normal 70 days. Also, the Home Office will tell you why your previous visa was revoked. If you or your ex-partner were victims of domestic abuse, the Home Office can cancel your visa right away.
Ans. Usually, you need to make at least £29,000 a year to be able to sponsor another spouse after divorce. This amount goes up if there are children who rely on you.
Ans. To sponsor another spouse after divorce you must fulfil accommodation requirements. You will need to make sure you have enough housing to take care of yourself, your new mate, and any children or other dependents.
