The Spouse Visa, which falls under the UK Family Visa category, allows a foreign national to join their partner in the UK. To be eligible, both you and your partner must be at least 18 years old. Your UK-based partner must either be a British or Irish citizen, have Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) or settled status, or hold another form of legal residence such as a Turkish Businessperson visa or refugee status.
Further Leave to Remain (FLR): This is a visa extension for non-British nationals already in the UK to extend their stay. A common route is the FLR (M), which is for spouses or partners of British citizens or settled people and is a step towards settlement. An FLR is typically granted for 30 months (2.5 years) and allows you to live, work, and study in the UK.
Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR): Often referred to as "settlement," ILR gives you the right to live, work, and study in the UK without time restrictions. To qualify, you generally need to have lived lawfully in the UK for a continuous period of at least five years. You also need to pass the Life in the UK test and meet an English language requirement.
British Citizenship: Most adults apply for British citizenship through naturalisation. Requirements typically include:
British Passport: Once you become a British citizen, you can apply for a British passport. You can apply online or by paper, and you must provide documents that prove your citizenship and identity.
Visit or Family VISAs
These visas are for temporary stays. The Standard Visitor Visa allows you to come for tourism, visiting family or friends, or for business for up to six months. Other visitor visas exist for purposes like marriage or specific business activities.
Study Applications
The Student visa is for those aged 16 and over who wish to study in the UK. To apply, you must have an acceptance to a course from a licensed student sponsor and a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS).
Work Applications
The Skilled Worker visa is a common work visa route. To qualify, you need a job offer from a licensed UK employer and a Certificate of Sponsorship. You must also meet a minimum salary and English language requirement.
Fee Waiver Applications
The Home Office offers fee waivers for individuals who cannot afford the application fee without jeopardizing their essential living needs, such as rent or food. Fee waivers are generally available for leave to remain applications but are not for ILR or British citizenship.
Appeals: If you believe a Home Office decision is incorrect, you may be able to appeal to the Immigration Tribunal.
Judicial Review: This is a remedy of last resort used to challenge the lawfulness of a Home Office or Immigration Tribunal decision, not whether the decision was right or wrong. It focuses on the process by which the decision was made, such as for illegality or procedural unfairness.
