If you are in a relationship with someone who is settled in the UK or who is a British citizen or even someone with temporary permission to stay in the UK (students migrants or migrants working in the UK) you may obtain permission to enter the UK or to remain in the UK.
This will depend on which category you fall under from the following:
- Husband, wife or civil partner;
- Fiancé or proposed civil partner; or
- Unmarried/same-sex partner.
If you are currently outside the UK you will need to obtain an entry clearance (visa) under the relevant category before you can enter the UK. If you are present in the UK under a different category then you may be eligible to switch categories from your current visa. Please note this will depend on the conditions of your current leave to remain in the UK.
The current minimum financial threshold for an applicant or their partner to meet is £18,600. The Government has indicated that this financial threshold will increase in Spring 2024 to at least £29,000.
