Expert Legal Support to Help You Live Together in the UK

A UK Spouse Visa allows married couples to live together in the United Kingdom. At LexHavenLaw, our experienced immigration solicitors provide clear, reliable, and compassionate legal advice to help you prepare a strong application and avoid unnecessary delays or refusals.

Whether you are applying from outside the UK or switching your visa from within the UK, we guide you through every stage of the process.

What Is a UK Spouse Visa?

A UK Spouse Visa allows a non-UK national to live in the UK with their husband or wife who is a British citizen or has settled status (Indefinite Leave to Remain or settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme).

The visa is usually granted for an initial period, after which it can be extended and eventually lead to settlement and British citizenship.

Who Can Apply for a Spouse Visa?

You may be eligible if:

• You are legally married to a British citizen or a person settled in the UK

• Your relationship is genuine and subsisting

• You intend to live together permanently in the UK

• You meet the financial, accommodation, and English language requirements

Each requirement must be met in full, and applications are assessed strictly by the Home Office.
