Overview of UK Spouse Visa Extension

A spouse is defined as ‘a husband or wife, considered in relation to their partner.’

If you are currently living in the UK on a Spouse or Civil Partner Visa, after 30 months, you can apply for a spouse visa extension UK.

For the spouse visa extension, you must show that you have been in a real relationship with your husband or partner and plan to continue living together in the UK. These requirements are the same as for the original husband’s Visa.

Applicants will also usually need to show proof that they and their spouse or partner make at least £29,000 a year as of April 11, 2024. Check out the information below to learn everything you need to know about renewing your spouse’s visa after 2.5 years.

What are the Requirements for a UK Spouse Visa Extension?

In order to be eligible for an extension spouse visa UK, you will need to ensure that you still meet the same requirements that you met when you were granted your original Spouse Visa.

In addition to meeting the spouse visa requirements, you would have to satisfy the Home Office that you;

  • have a genuine subsisting relationship with your partner (demonstrated by specified evidence)
  • continue to meet the financial requirements
  • are able to pass a CEFR A2 English test
  • Getting things right the first time is imperative to avoid your existing visa expiring.
  • Furthermore, failure to maintain continued residence is likely to cause significant issues when attempting to achieve Indefinite Leave to Remain.

Our specialist team is able to help you navigate the pitfalls of the UKVI requirements and ensure that your spouse visa UK extension application is correctly prepared to promote the right outcome the first time around.

How do I understand the relationship requirement?

If you want to extend your Spouse Visa, you will have to show proof that you are truly in a relationship. Applicants must include a civil partnership or marriage licence that is valid in the UK with their application. If the person is not married or in a civil partnership with their partner, they will need to show proof that they have been dating their partner for a long time.

Furthermore, applicants will need to show more proof to show that they have been living with their partner throughout their time in the UK.

You can show proof of your connection by showing letters sent to both the applicant and the spouse at the same address.

The Home Office may want to see things like utility bills, bank statements, and council tax bills. Any proof you give must be in its original form, be signed, dated, and written on letterhead.

Finally, you must be able to show that you have been living with your partner while you have been living in the UK and that you plan to continue living with your partner in the UK during the extension time and possibly after that as well.
