Thank you very very much for your vdo :) Me and my husband we are going to applying for a spouse visa this is very helpful for us.
Please remember it is quite an old video and somethings have changed, for example financial requirements is currently 29000 pounds
Thank you so much for this content. It’s very helpful.
You're very welcome! Cheers 🍻
The video was very helpful. Thank you
Thanks
If you have had a civil marriage and got divorced and got a new marriage, then you have to give the details of the marriage first and if it is not indicated in the application, then the officer gets to know that the marriage was done in.
My first husband not visa applyed
I think I understood your question, on the family settlement visa, a divorce was not mentioned and obviously no divorce certificate supplied. If you are applying overseas, probably instant refusal if found out and you would probably need to apply again and explain why the omission of the divorce. If applying or extending in the UK (certain visas allow), probably the entry clearance officer would contact you and ask you to explain why you hid the divorce. Either way, the situation is bad.
@@HappyVisas But how does the officer know that I am married and divorced?
Please reply
They can check through the court house and some countries have a central data base where embassies can check.

Thank you so much for this informative video! Can you please let me know with the following:
1) for the bank statements is it ok to download them from the bank app? Or do we need to go to the bank to ask them to stamp them?
2) We got married in the uk and got the certificate here would that be enough? Or do we need to get the Apostille?
3) we are married and do not live together but plan to since I’m on the skilled worker visa what would be the evidence that would be good enough? We will Iive at my husband parent place for a while so would the letter signed by both of them be enough( saying that they are happy I will move with them and there are enough rooms etc)? Or is there anything else we can provide? There is a section before you pay the fee where it lists all the documents they’ require and they don’t say about the evidence of the relationship …As far as I can understand it’s up to us what evidence we provide?
Bank statements from the app are fine (but not transactions history, must be proper statements). No need for the apostille
Thank you so much your video helped me a lot , i got my spouse visa Bless you.
All the best, thanks
Thanks for your vedio!

Hi! Thanks so much for your time invested in this video. May I ask a question, i'm looking for apply to Fiancée Visa. She has been working for 6 months at her job, which is paid hourly and generally gets £1600 per month. We are still confused if with that she could be proving her income or would she have to be working another 6 months to prove that her income is above than £18,600 required:
£1600 x 12 = £19,200 (Knowing that the maths would be like this) Because i saw about the 6 months rule when You are non-salaried, so i would love to understand it a bit more.
Thank You so much again.
If paid by the hour, she can take the average monthly income over the last 6 months which must be not less than 9300 pounds. In theory she could make 9050 pounds in month 1 and then the following 5 months only 50 pounds each month, bringing the gross to 9300 pounds. If she had fixed monthly salary, then the minimum each month would have to be 1550 pounds. Make sure employment letter clearly states she gets paid by the hour and at what rate
Amazing. Thank you. Do you happen to know about Right of abode certificate applications for an infant? Would love to see a video about that pleeeaasse
Thank you, I will do one soon
Very clear n helpful. Thanks sir
Most welcome 🙏
Hy
How can I download my supporting documents.
Thank you so much for making this video I appreciate your time. Im about to embark on starting our visa application as he is returning to Albania we've just got married .... A question im in social housing with a little arrears on my account will this matter? Also self employed but i have an accountant doing my tax return for 23/24 tax year .... Can I buy you a coffee ☕️ please add the link 😊
Arrears should not matter but you will probably need the consent from your hosing association that your husband can live at the property
Getting the bank statements stamped is a major headache for me. I’m with RBS and they have a policy where they don’t stamp PDF bank statements, and nor do they provide a cover letter confirming authenticity of the statements. I’ve been to three branches in case a kind bank manager would do it for me, but nope. I’m going to have to order paper copies and then scan them in. Argh! 😭
Sounds like a right pain
Do you need to have bank statements stamped? Is online banking print out or download not enough evidence?
Please support me so that I can continue giving free advice with a small donation - buy me a coffee. - www.buymeacoffee.com/philipport4 . I hope you liked the video
@@gentianasokoli7902 Yes and no. The rules were written when banks sent out those small paper statements on the bank paper… you know. You used to be able to order statements in that format. Now though when you order statement s they essentially just send you a copy of what you can print off online, though all six statements are on one document rather than the six documents you would print off yourself (that’s what RBS sent me anyway). So there’s no real difference in the documents you’d send.
But it IS still in the immigration rules as a mandatory requirement. And they can reject visa applications for not following the rules.
RBS didn’t stamp mine, but they did send a printed PDF that looked slightly different from what I could have downloaded at home. I submitted that and noted in the cover letter that those statements had been sent from RBS, not downloaded by me. Probably doesn’t make a difference but this is too important leave it to chance!
I’ve heard that some people call to query it prior to submitting their application and are told it doesn’t matter these days. But if that’s the case they need to update the damn rules!!!
Hello I’m going to apply next week and I want to know information on how to calculate my finance requirements wether I meet the category A or B
The question is a bit vague. Send me a WhatsApp message with more details about how long you have worked, lowest monthly income, paid hourly or fixed rates, just your souse applying etc? +79257808976
Hi Phil,
Great video! I just had a few questions about applying within the UK.
If a someone received a curtailment letter from the home office do they have to put the new date as their bpr expiring date or the original stated on their brp?
Also is it considered a immigration problem on the application? If so which optioned should be chosen out of the ones given on the application.
The BRP date I doubt would matter, probably I’d put the expiry date on the BRP and explain the situation about the curtailment letter which obviously needs to be mentioned. I can’t remember every question on the application so send me the options from the drop down menu. I presume your partner has changed visa categories so Google if she/he is eligible to apply in the UK after being told to leave the uk.
Really Appreciate your help. I'm in a stage of confusion. I am planning to do biometric from Singapore VFS for Tire 2 depending pass .Although its not my home country. In visa application from while I am filling in my travel history its asking me to ''WHEN DID YOU LEAVE THIS COUNTRY?''. My confusion is , I am not leavening Singapore now as I am going to face VFS here. And also if I got the spouse visa I will fly from here which date I should give here?. My last entry was ''28/03/2023 in Singapore. Please advice me what should I do in this situation ?
Complete the application as best you can. Show your right of residency in Singapore. If in doubt explain the situation in the additional information section or on a covering letter
Hello, thank you for the video.
My husband will apply in a few months, we are just waiting for my 6 payslips.
My question is: Im employed by the NHS, so I get paid hourly, 37.5 hours a week(full time), but my anual salary is 22.383 basic rate , any enhacement (nights) is not included, so every month is never the same amount, what should i do?.
And sometimes I do bank, for the same employer, should I add that employment and payslips even if I meet the financial requierement with my permanent?
If you are paid hourly they normally take the average income over the last 6 months. As long as your gross salary never fell Below 1550 pounds in any given month, you will be fine. Just put annual salary as 22383 pounds and explain things in a covering letter or additional information section. If you need further advice, my WhatsApp is +79257808976
Thanks for the video
❤ I'm in the UK now as a tourist my question is can i apply here? Or should I go back to mexico and start with the process there?. Thanks 😊
You need to apply in your home country. You can not switch from a general visit visa (tourist) to initial application to settle in the UK as a spouse.
Hi,
Thanks for this great video. Could you please advise if the VAF4A form needs to be submitted along with the online form too? Please reply as I will be applying next month.
Thanks
Only online forms unless in the very unlikely event you were applying from North Korea. Then paper versions might be required.
@@HappyVisas Thank you
Hello, I am earning more than the threshold every month but because its a daily rate pay, it can vary depending on the total days worked in a month. My net pay is different every month (always more than the required threshold). What annual amount should I write?
Hi
Thank you very much for all your information. Could I please ask a couple questions. Would really appreciate a response .
I currently started a job and am earning over the threshold. I only want to use that for the application. But it does state that if you want to add previous employment within 12 months. Do I add all my previous employments in the 12 months as I only worked in my previous employment for a month and another only for a week before changing jobs.
2. Also it states to show payslips for previous and current employments within the last 12 months. Do I have to provide the payslips of my previous employer during this time period 12 months if I don’t want to use it for my application?
Thanks
Unless you have been employed with your current employer less than 6 months, do not combine income. Just give 6 months payslips, 6 months bank statements, employment letter
Thank you so much for fast response. Should I just click no to the question asking about employment in the previous 12 months?
Hi, thank you for uploading such a helpful video. Please can i ask how many payslips I need to provide if i’ve been with the same employer for 8years, however i received a promotion and a new job role/title 4months ago. Previous and current role both above the £18,600 so should i include only 6months payslips? And do i need to mention this job role change in the employment letter? Thanks
I would supply 7 months payslips, 7 months bank statements and in the employment letter mention that the payslips are genuine and what the old yearly salary was with dates and the new yearly salary from start date till the present time
@@HappyVisas thanks for the reply. Sorry one more question. Would i need to include the employment contract for the new role or should the things you mentioned suffice?
If you have it, include it. The employment letter is a must, contract if available should also be included
while filling the application as i am the sponsor, i have two under 18 boys from my previous marriage, but they stay with my ex wife and i give her £400 per month as maintenance. On the form it is asking me if i have dependent children from previous marriage. Not sure how to answer this. Q1. Are my children my dependant children even though they live with my ex.
Q2. If i answer yes then the application is assuming that those 2 children are living with me who do i tackle this.
Thanks.
1, yes, add the kids. 2. It’s a glitch on the system or very poorly worded application which hasn’t been remedied for many years. Just go through and answer the questions as best you can. Trying to be as descriptive as possible and when not possible just put Not available. It will then probably ask you to supply some form of proof of address for your X partner or kids, just confirm you will supply. Then use additional information to correct the incorrect information you added. I normally used the wording. Due to what seems like a glitch in the application, I had no options but to answer yes too ………………… but actually my children …………I never supplied any evidence of x proof of address but divorce cert is very important
Thank you dear. Can you or anyone here assist or make a video on how to update a skilled worker dependent visa ?
Will look into that but unfortunately not now
🥇interesting video
Thanks
Thank you for your extensive advise and knowledge much appreciated. i just have one question where do we load the documents, if you don't mind showing. Thank you Sir.
Once you pay immigration health surcharge, the visa fee it will take you to either VFS global website or TLscontact website depending which country you are applying for the visa. You book your appointment at the visa centre to give passport and biometrics. Before your appointment you can upload documents
Hi, thank you so much for your video. It’s very helpful.
My question is: I haven’t met my wife yet for the past three years,My job won’t let me .
How can I answer that question, please?
The issues are why your wife didn’t join you in the UK 3 years ago if it’s a genuine relationship? My apologies, I don’t know the answer to your question. Probably I’d visit your wife a couple of times, go on holiday together, rebuild the relationship and then apply.
Thank you 🙏
In 2015, I applied for a tourist visa to France, which was unfortunately refused. The reason for the refusal was: "Your intention to leave the territory of the member states before the expiration of the visa could not be established." should i mention it in the application? Does it impact my spouse visa application?
It will not impact at all, definitely mention it
My apologies for late reply, I have been having difficulties login in
Hi Mate, great video, just a quickie,
Do the bank statements have to be UK banks? I'm from the UK but working abroad and all my money/savings is in a foreign bank, is that an issue you think?
Probably you are fine but the questions you might want to consider are, are you paying UK taxes, if your based overseas, what documents to meet the financial requirements are the equivalent, you will be expected to live in the UK with your spouse. Your question is not so clear cut
Thank you so much for your video. It was extremely helpful! I was wondering, when they ask 'what do they earn' are they referring to the monthly income or the annual income? for example, my montly income changes a bit every month but my annual income is still the same. What should i answer in this situation? thank you!!
The online application is poorly worded. If, every month you earned above 1550 pounds gross and if only the spouse is applying, click the first option, the same amount continuously above the financial requirements. Unless you have been with your employer less than 6 months. Then they will look at your income over the past 12 months
Hello. I hope you are well. I applied for my Child's British Citizenship. She was born in the UK and my husband got recently his EU Settled Status after my child was born.
I have also uploaded my passport and brp in Other Folder. But I am so worried that my passport and BRP contains my father's name (patronymic) as per my full name. But in the application I provided only my first and second names as they were requested. My child's UK birth certificate has only my first and second names as well. And she does not hold any other passports.
Can you please let me know if that can cause any issues to her Citizenship approval?
My only experience is dealing with passport applications overseas. Many people make mistakes and they were always given up to 10 weeks to correct them. So my feeling is, if your child is eligible for a uk passport, any errors that you have made, the HomeOffice will contact you and ask you to supply additional evidence. I very much doubt they will refuse without giving you a chance to fix the problem.
Hello Mr Mohammad
Pls l need your answer to the question below
My COS is certify with manitenance including with my dependant
But there is a part on the child application depentant form which was ask" Are you relying on evidence from someone else to prove your financial circumstances? YES or No
If l say yes there is form consent form to sign... Should l say yes and sign the downloaded consent form
Second question ❓
Do you know where you will be staying in the UK? I said Yes
I wrote my company address there in the box since they already certify my maintenance
Answered already
hi Thanks for the video. Found it really useful. Just wanted to ask where do I submit my supporting documents. Also are the documents submitted on the same application form or will I be directed to a different website to upload my documentation.
Watch the completion of tourist visa video, it shows you how to upload your documents. Basically you complete the application, pay the immigration health surcharge, pay the visa fee and then you will be transferred to UKTLs website or Vfs global web site (depends which country you apply in), you open your account, book your appointment to pass biometrics and choose to upload documents yourself or pay extra and visa center will upload them for you when you pass biometrics. This is known as assisted service and self service
Thanks for the video it’s very helpful.
I’m applying for my wife to join me in the UK, I have child I stated on the application but the financial requirement still showing £18,600.
Is that right? I thought you need to earn more of you have dependents?
Thanks in Advance
If the child is yours and British then that is the correct amount. If you are also sponsoring the child, where your not the biological father, then where it mentions don’t include children on the application, you must put yes and then add the number 1. It is a poorly worded question where it asks don’t include children that are mentioned on the application. You do have to mention them if they are not British
So I can keep doing free immigration videos, can you support me at buymeacoffee.com/philipport4 thanks
Thanks for the info. Great. My question is as a British who have to prove that our earnings is £18600/year then how much income do we need to earn on this 6 months payslips that we submit to them? Would it be meaning half of that years income to show 6 months? I am new to all this.
Yes, for the past 6 months, the minimal monthly salary should have never been less than 1550 pounds gross. This should be shown on the 6 months bank statements. Where possible I always ask my clients to provide 7 months.
@@HappyVisas thanks that actually explains it well. But if my wages in some months was less than that amount then is it ok to earn more money during the other months to catch up with the total? So they add up for the 6 months together.
@@EverydayDoll when I researched a similar question 2 years ago it was as follows. If you are paid a fixed monthly salary, it is the lowest months salary in the past 6 months that counts. For example in month 2 you earned 1000 pounds, then your yearly income would be calculated as 12000 pounds despite earning a lot more in other months. If you are paid hourly, it is the average income over the 6 month period. It would not matter if you earned less than 1550 in month 2 if the other months make up the difference
Hi sir I have a 1 ask about my spouse application. I am working full time with private company since 2021 I have earining yearly £22000 but last 2 months I started another job I means 2nd job I actually earn more money then 1st job .when I apply for visa shell I wait for 6 months for my 2nd job bcz the 1st job 6 months pay slips not meet the requirements £300 short but if I add my 2nd jobs its come more then what is requirements like both of jobs 6 months pay slips £15000 can I apply for my wife or what should I do kindly give your feedback. Thank you very much sir
Hello!
When I select what the sponsor earns, there were 4 different options. I (sponsor) have been with the same employer for 6 months earning a salary above the threshold. However, in one of the months I received a bonus for overtime. So does that mean I now have to select the option that says "not the same amount continously, above the financial requirement amount"? Because if I do, doesn't it ask for 12 months payslips? I want to apply Cat A salaried and use only my last 6 payslips. I hope my question makes sense!
Without seeing the application, I would click the same amount continuously at the same level and supply 6 months bank statements and payslips.
Hello sir just watched your video and is really helpful but what I don’t understand is about the financial requirement what would happen if clicked on NO i don’t met the requirements will my application be denied? And also about the financial requirements are they asking of my wife in the uk’s details or me the applicant in different country?
Probably yes, the application will be refused if your sponsor in the UK does not meet the financial requirements. Exceptions might be if she is an invalid or has a a care allowance to look after an invalid. Your wife in the UK must earn 18600 pounds per year if she is meeting the requirements through employment
@@HappyVisas my wife is not working she is in the university and has no job but she gets money from the government
Probably you can not apply till she has a regular income from employment or has 62500 pounds in savings
Hi, from your experience and knowledge’ would you say this process is easy or fine to complete on your own or is getting a solicitor advised?
The application is designed to trip you up. Initial applications, entry clearance officers are unforgiving. Extensions in the UK, in a lot of instances they call you and request more documents if you made a mistake. Buy me a coffee, be my first client and I’ll try answer all your Posts.

Hey, maybe a silly question. The sections at the first part, is that filling out as the sponsor, when you put in for "I rent" "I own", I'll be doing the application for my wife. So little confused there. Any answer appreciated.
If you as the sponsor are the owner, then put I own. If not sure put other and write my husband who is my sponsor is the owner of his home, see his title deed
Hi! Thanks so much for your video, super helpful! Can I ask: at what point do you provide your passport and when do you get it back? As in, are you able to travel to other non-UK countries once you submit application and before you get a decision? Thanks so much!
Spouse visa are taking approx 5 months but things are expected to speed up. Check if the visa centre where you are applying has submission without passport service, in the good old days it was 40 pounds. You need to take a colour copy of every page, including blank pages of the applicants passport. You can then keep your passport till the decision is made. If this service is not available, unless you have a 2nd passport, you can not travel ((.

Thank you for your help?
In the financial requirement, how should we calculate it? I work hourly rate, paid weekly? How should I calculate the annual amount? Is it the whole amount from 6 months period divided deby 6 multiple by 12 ?
Yes, just make sure you made 9300 pounds in the 6 month period before you submit online if applying with no children who are not British
@@HappyVisas gross (before tax) or net (after)
Dear Sir, thank you so much for your detailed explanation. May I ask a question, in my spouse visa can I supply my father's ID instead of his passport? Is that acceptable for the Home Office?
Thank you.
I did not fully understand the question. If he is supplying the applicant with accommodation and does not have a passport, probably it will be ok. Birth cert might be better. Explain it in the additional info section
De we need to put my husband's children in the application even if they over 18 and not living with him ?
Probably not but it will say children under 18, from memory
Hi I bank with HSBC, the online PDF statements are exactly the same as what they send out in the post. Can I not just upload the PDF versions? Do I still need a cover letter?
The bank gets a bit funny if they need to print and stamp, I remember the headache when I tried for my mortgage application. Thanks
Probably you can. If they exactly the same, the first page should be the covering letter with all your details, name, address, account number etc?
If i am sponsoring my spouse from the UK (and they are coming from outside), can i pay the fee without incurring any transaction fee? So basically paying the fee with my UK card to a UK website. Or do i have to send them the money? This part i am very stressed about. Many thanks.
You can pay
@@HappyVisas thanks for the answer do the banks charge a transaction fee because the card is being used outside the Uk?
Hi. Would you have any knowledge on the VAF4A forms? Are these required to be completed on top of the online application? Kind Regards.
Everything is normally done online with the exception of countries like North Korea
Hi there, thanks so much for your time in doing this.
I meet the financial requirement but I’m on a casual work contract which varies each month (so not permanent salaried). I’m paid by the hour depending on what work I do. I’ve been there for a year. The bit in the application form where it asks you if you’re ‘permanent’ or ‘temporary’ I’m not sure what to put because I feel like I’m neither?
To me it seems like your permanent. The definition of temporary is just that, temporary and generally for a pre-determined time at the time of hire. Usually 3, 6, 9 or 12 months, but it can really vary depending on the organization's needs. Whatever you put, use additional information to explain your situation
@@HappyVisas Thank you. I don’t think those two tick boxes cover all bases so I’m pleased they have that additional info box. I hope that getting that box wrong isn’t something they’d fail your application considering how much further employment evidence we have to give
@@MaggieT455 financial and employment when meeting the financial requirements, they have no discretion. Although A simple mistake like yours, often entry clearance officer would correct it themselves. I don’t see any issues but obviously do further research if your worried
Hi thanks so much for this video. It really is so helpful! I'm currently in Thailand about to get married and everything should be ready to submit the application after the marriage papers are translated/certified etc.... we are speeding things up due to the recent announcements about the major changes to the financial requirements in this visa category! One question or problem I have is BANK STATEMENTS.
I'll be relying on cash savings alone for the application and being currently located in Thailand how do I get physically stamped bank statements? I bank with Lloyds Bank in the UK. I also thought of getting some paper statements ordered (through the banking app), then sent to a family member who could then bring them to a branch to get them stamped, and then the family member could send them to me by post to Thailand. But I have come across information from people saying that Lloyds refuses to stamp bank statements nowadays??! Apparently they sometimes even refuse to supply stamped ones when you order in person in branch, which i can't do anyway.... What can be done about this and if I were to submit the application just with paper-printed bank statements (NOT STAMPED) would this constitute grounds for refusal?
Since the video was made, they now accept electronic statements send out by the bank in your app or to your email. Make sure they are statements, similar to those that you would get in the post.
@@HappyVisas Oh that's great news! Ok noted for the format of the statements. Thanks for your reply!
@@vincentjose5777 thanks
@@HappyVisas Hi there again. I just wanted to ask you for an extra piece of advice if possible. As we are about to get married in Thailand, my soon-to-be wife will take on my last name. We have established that it will be easier to change all of her legal documents (passports etc....) while here in Thailand before submitting the spouse visa application. One thing that I don't think we can change is the maiden name on her A1 life skills test certificate. Would her A1 test certificate being in her maiden name rather than her married name like all of her other documents cause any issues during the application? Thanks. Vince
I doubt, you should be fine although I never personally had such a situation. Just make sure you evidence her maiden name. Also note, in spring, financial requirements increase to 29000. If it will delay things and you wouldn’t meet the new requirements, don’t mess around, change the name once your both in the UK
Hi! Regarding the bank statements, why do you state they should be certified or have a covering letter? I can't seem to find this information anywhere on Gov.uk
For context, both my British civil partner and I are abroad and are applying from outside the UK, so getting bank statements stamped is not an option.
How does one get a covering letter from the bank?
Look at page 11, assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1039148/1.7_-_Financial_requirement.pdf
What happens after you pay and partner completes the Sponsor form? I am applying for my wife as she is outside the UK - where and when do I upload our documents and does she only brings her passport to the appointment or all our documents?
It will take you to either Vfs or uktls website where you choose what city to pass biometrics and upload documents. All she needs to bring to visa centre is passport, checklist (download after paying), and proof of payment, appointment which will be sent to your email
First of all thanks for this video. I wanna ask something. I did wrong “what’s your relationship to” step. I cant edit back. How can i fix it?
If you already paid embassy fee, then you can not make changes
great explanation! Please could you tell me the value for you to apply? Your job to fill out the form?
I’m cheap because I work online overseas without my license and insurance bonding. My fees depend on any adverse immigration history, is the sponsor employed or self employed, with dependents etc. Send me WhatsApp message to discuss your circumstances +79257808976
Hi port can you help me with the question have you ever lived with your partner within or outside the uk ?
Any periods that you have lived together, even for 1 month or more, better to put yes and then the dates and the address
@@HappyVisas what about 4 days on holiday trip ? do I need to mention that as well please reply
Yes. I hope it was helpful and good advice
I would to ask if I paid a short payment for my IHS on my first application that hasn’t yet submitted then I restarted my application because of some errors that I made on the first one. Instead of choosing “OUTSIDE UK” i chose “INSIDE UK”. Is it refundable? Or can I just pay the short payment?
You will need to claim a refund on the visa and I believe the IHS will be automatically refunded. Overseas applications, once you book the appointment, you could claim a refund if cancelled. If you were to change the appointment time and then cancel the application, you would not get a refund on the visa fee but would get a refund IHS
I haven’t paid the visa fee. That’s the problem I encountered. I cannot proceed on that part. That’s why I decided to restart my application. No appointment date yet either. After paying the IHS, I couldn’t continue my application on the last part which is FURTHER ACTION where I can pay the visa fee and the only indication where I see my progress. It keeps on telling me to review my answer. I already did review my answers many times. And still there no other option for me but to restart. 😞😞😞

Hi Philip, Thank you for the video, I have subscribed and liked the video and all t my questions are new and not in the comments
I am British and applying on behalf of my wife, she lives in Syria and when I apply and pay, then upload the docs online,
does she needs to go to Lebanon for the passport check?
do they book an appointment in Libanon for the applicant to pass bio-metrics or interview or both?
or when she gets the visa to Uk, then she needs to go to the post office for Bio-metrics?
you said we pay by Dollar for visa fees and IHS?
also, for rental income, shall I provide a self-assessment and tax return showing the rental income per year
does the Home office need to interview the applicant or just check the passport at the UK visa office or the company that deals with docs?
is the appeal free of charge if the application gets refusal please?
if I change my work after I submit the application, do I need to wait 6 months if the application has inquiries about work please?
Can you make a video about the most mistake to avoid please?
Thank you so much
You complete application, pay immigration health surcharge, pay visa fee, book appointment, upload documents. Then the applicant will travel to the visa centre and pass biometrics and give the travel passport where the visa will go.
Regarding rental income, it is hard to advise without a full set of documents in front of me. For example, Is this the sole income or are you combining incomes, are you allowed to combine incomes, was the correct tax paid, are you employed or self employed, was the income paid through a company, was the tenancy registered etc etc
Hi, do you have a video in which you give a full list of what documents need to be submitted and extra documents to support the application?
What type of visa are you applying for and what is your type of employment. If you are applying based on exercising your EU treaty rights, then mainly is evidencing the relationship or if married that it is a genuine relationship. If it is based on UK law, visas can be expensive and a lot of documents are required. Please note, since we left the EU, I have not kept up to date with EU law
@@HappyVisas it is a spouse visa and my employment is at a limited company
@@sonia7703 unlikely unless you are the owner and shareholder. You can work for any Limited Company, you just can not be the owner directly or indirectly
I have bank statements from Barclays PDF so I still have to stamp them because I downloaded them from the Barclays app

I am a british citizen and i live out side the UK with my foren husband, could you please tell me how can we both travel to UK in order to settle down their?
With the limited info I have, as things stand, probably only two routes. 1. Savings of 62500 pounds (it will increase in Spring) held and never fell below that in the last 6 months or you are currently earning 18600 pounds a year, and have a job offer in the UK. If you can’t meet that requirement, a lot of Brits take their spouses to Ireland. Brits despite leaving the EU have always been allowed to work there
Why aren't the payslips and bank statements listed in the required documents? Are you sure they'll be needed? and at what stage?
For spouse visa bank statements are required and payslips are required if you are basing it on employment. When you complete the application it will give you a list of what is required.
Hi Phil,your video is quite helpful and great. I'm When a Canadian citizen .We got registered marriage in the UK in 2020.
When I returned to UK from Tenerife Border security stopped me and detained me.Due to COVID-19 I was stuck in the UK. When my 6 months visa was supposed to end that's way I wrote emails regarding it and home office extended twice. I showed those 2 emails extended visa from Home Office,they released me in one condition that's I've to apply UK spouse visa within 14 dayFrom wrong sources I assumed after short term leave UK in return my visa will automatically start another 6 months.
A law farm applied in humanitarian ground 10 years route, but rejected. In verdict home office find our relationship is genuine but couldn't find why I can't go back to Canada. I left UK voluntarily. My husband visited Canada November 2023 for 10 days and spent together.
My question is can I apply uk spouse visa now?? Is it w different procedure than normal uk spouse visa?? Need advise,please help us.
If you meet the financial requirements, you can apply. Adverse immigration history will unlikely affect the next application so do not worry about that.
Ok thank you very much.
But make sure you mention what happened in your application
@@HappyVisas definitely, thank you once again.
Welcome
Hi! Thanks for the video. It did help me. However, I have couple of questions. I'm in UK with my family (my wife and kids) on ICT visa. Now recently I have been offered a skilled worker visa from new employer and i'm about to join new employer in few weeks. I need to raise dependent visa for my family. As I'm yet to join new employer how can i show the pay slips? The pay slips I have my old employer. Do I need to show the old employer pay slips?
Your partner or child’s visa will not automatically switch to this visa if you switch yours. If they do not switch their visa, it will be valid until its original end date.
If you have been in the UK 1 year, you will probably not need to meet the financial requirements. The easiest way, if you have not been in the UK for 1 year, ask your employer to sponsor maintenance.
Hiya. Great video.
So am putting in my uk spouse application in a few days but I've just come back from abroad from my marriage after 1 months of no employment due to being on annual leave holiday for my wedding and 1 month of looking for an accommodation. So I was told we put in application straight after employment. But I have that gap due to my marriage happening. Does submitting the application now put any rejections on it? Plz want to know. Thanks.
Were you still paid during this period and have pay slips to reflect that? You may want to give me a call on WhatsApp to discuss it in greater detail +79257808976
A question about the payslips and bank statements. I receive both of them in electronic form. No stamps are present. Would they still be considered valid or do I need to present them as a hard copy to my bank so that they can be stamped?
Payslips should be fine, electronic bank statements if they don’t come with covering letter from the bank, I’d get them stamped on every page
Is it correct that if you're paid 4 weekly you must give 7 months payslips?
Not sure but it wouldn’t harm. When sat on the toilet better have too much paper than not enough
Please support me so that I can continue giving free advice with a small donation - buy me a coffee. - www.buymeacoffee.com/philipport4 . I hope you liked the video
Yes, you must cover a full 6 months
I always supply 7 months in any event
Hi, thank You, i have one question, i would like to apply for Fiancée Visa, she has pre-settled status since July of this year, it could be a problem? Because it's confuse for me, i already see, so many differente websites in which they say only Settled or Settled/Presettled
I didn’t get your question but pre settled status, your sponsor has lived less than 5 years in the UK and settled status means they have lived more than 5 years in the UK and have the equivalent of Indefinite leave to remain under European law. In all probability you will have to apply for a family visa to settle in the UK, about 1600 pounds and the immigration health surcharge, about 2000 pounds. Nothing free unless you were married before the cut off date of Brexit.
Hi please,
Hope you doing well. My husband is about to sign a tenancy agreement where he will move in to an apartment on the 12th of May. My question is can we use the tenancy agreement and apply for the spouse visa application before he move in to the apartment ? We plan on submitting the application before the 12thof May. Just wanted to know if that would be fine ?
another question regarding the bank statements. Since he will not be in the new address until the 12th of May...is it still okay for him to have my current address on the bank statements ?
Or do the bank statements must have the address where he will be living at on the 12th of May ?
Thanks.
Regarding Tenancy, in my opinion it will be fine, I can not see any problems with that but you will needed to be added to the agreement or a letter from the landlord giving his consent to you staying at the property. Bank statement will be fine but I would supply a council tax bill from the old address and explain the whole situation in the additional information section
Hi thanks for all these information. I just wanted to ask as a self employed I’m sending one year bank statement along with 1 year accounts I wanted to ask when submitting the statement do I need to highlight the earnings on bank statement also I was previously married and it’s been over 10 years do I still need divorce certificate it’s actually missed place Kindly let me know thanks
1 year business bank statements for the financial year, probably 06 April till 05 April 2023 or the financial year of the company if Director of specified limited company. One extra, recent pay slip and bank statement to show ongoing employment. Order divorce certificate, it is needed unless it was used in a previous family member visa application. I personally never highlight earnings unless it’s not clear that they are earnings.
Hi
I have a long travel history but mainly to the same country. Do I need to keep including every single visit I had with the country over the 10 years?
I would put the first trip and the last 3 trips. Then explain the situation in the additional information section
Hi Phil,your video is quite informative and helpful.
When I returned to UK from Tenerife Border security stopped me and detained me more than 8 hrs.From wrong sources I assumed that if I leave UK for shòrt period in return my visa will automatically start another 6months. But it's totally wrong informations. I was shocked. I showed 2 emails from Home Office extended my visa and my marriage certificate . They released me in one condition that's I've to apply UK spouse visa within 14 days. We applied but rejected by stating that COVID-19 is over ,I can go back to Canada.
I returned to Canada voluntarily, 15months ago.My question is can I apply uk spouse visa now??is it complicated or different than normal uk spouse visa??
Answered in other video.
Hi Phil, Thank you for your reply. His financial status meets the requirements. Have a nice day.
Welcome
Hi, I have question. I hope you can help me. My husband plan on renting an apartement end of April and carry out the spouse visa application end of April. Would this be okay for the application ?
Because If he was to do that, it would mean he wouldn't have previous proof of bills for the property etc...I want to know if that would be an issue. Thanks.
It would be ok. If it’s initial application, add you to the lease or a letter from the landlord that you can stay there. If it is an extension and you lived in UK with him for 2.5 years, you both need 6 proofs of address from your previous place you lived at. Basically very simple if this is your first time applying
@@HappyVisas thank you so much ❤️
@@narimenehaderbache7833 your welcome
@@HappyVisas So there is no risk if he rents the apartment just one week before applying??
how much would partner visa application cost including 5 year Healthcare surcharge and applying outside the UK ?
For spouse applications, it’s 3 year immigration health surcharge, just under 2000 pounds, visa fee just under 1600 pounds. They might charge in USD depending where you apply. In 2.5 years, you do it all again, this time within the UK
hello, firstly great video very helpful! so currently i am applying for my husband visa, and regarding the financial requirement its a bit tricky. I was working until october and left my job and got married. I started a new job in January again, i will not be able to meet the 6 months pay slip, but i have heard that as long as the case officer is convinced that I am meeting the requirement is there a chance this might succeed. As i was working until October?
You will need to use the last 12 months income (not last 6 months) and you must meet the financial requirements if overseas or if applying for extension in the UK they might put you on the very expensive 10 year route if your husband can not meet financial requirements. Supporting documents are Employment letters, payslips and all bank statements for all period
@@HappyVisas Thank you that was very helpful, just last final question do i upload the documents before the biometrics is done or after?
Before, after you pay
Hi is it possible to fill out the application on behalf of my Thai wife? If so can i use my UK E-MAIL for registration and correspondence. Many Thanks.
Yes you can complete the application form, yes you can use your email,
Thanks philip great work!😊
Question 1.) i earn £26k a year i started the job in september 27th my first monthly wage was less it was around £1060 however the other months are over £2k per month can i use the 1k pay slip or shall i just wait for my 7th wageslip to arrive and start it from there?
Question 2.) as i am the sponsor when i upload the proof of communication with my wife do i screenshot the pictures or should she? Does it matter?
Many thanks again philip for the great work. 🎉
If you are paid by the hour, it is the average over the 6 month period. If you have fixed salary each month, then it is the lowest month that counts. For example 1060 pounds x 6 months. They do not take into account the higher months if it’s fixed salary. In all events, I would wait even if you are paid by the hour (2) It does not matter, print them out, scan them in PDF and upload. All documents end up in the same account (applicants application)
@@HappyVisas thanks for your reply, yes i am infact paid by the hour 40 hours a week. And regarding my bank statements i have ONLINE banking the statements are already online in pdf format? So i dont need to print them out do i?
@@HappyVisas and in regard to the chats i can screenshot whatsapp conversations scan them into pdf and upload? Brilliant thanks. And all documents need to be in colour right?
Great video.
Hi Phil, I have got a question. My husband is british. CAN he apply for a spouse visa for me from uk? And if yes, it is the same process as you showed in this video or is their a different visa? Thank you.
Your husband can complete the application on your behalf from anywhere in the world, but it is still an overseas application, if the applicant will pass biometrics outside of the UK. If you the applicant were in the UK on a visa that allowed you to switch in the UK to the spouse visa, only then is it a within the UK application. In brief, when it asks are you applying in the UK or outside of the UK, in your instance he will put outside of the UK
My video was about applying from outside of the UK, so yes is the answer, I didn’t correctly read your question the first time ))). Inside or outside of the UK when applying, very similar applications
Hi. Me and my spouse are applying today. Only issue is, she’s applying for the visa outside of the UK In Russia, I am her sponser. When it gets to the IHS side it says the visa type is husband, have we made a mistake? I am a her sponser and shouldn’t the visa type be wife?
Thanks.
Start the application again and add wife (delete husband). As per our messages early. Many thanks
Do we need to provide pictures of the accomodation / bedroom ?
In most instances a plan or pictures are not required. If kids are involved and other people are at the property, you might want to include a floor plan
Hi, really helpful video, thank you. I just had few question which im hoping you can help with please.
•intended travel dates, how important is this for your application? I accidently put 3months and fews day from the date of submission ie. 15th June 2023 , will this cause an issue? And will the visa start date start from the date of approval or the intended travel date?
•At the moment, the vignette sticker are being issued with 90 days validity, what if you enter UK after 60days, will that be ok? And will the BRP card be held at the post office that long or would they return it after certain period?
Thanks in advance
I haven’t checked for any rule changes recently but if you wanted to travel in 92 days time, you would need to wait 3 days before you could submit online. My feeling is that they would not be strict on a spouse visa but a tourist visa would probably be refused if you applied to soon. If you have 90 day visa, then that would be fine, you can travel anytime before it expires. It use to be issued for 1 month, thank you for the update
@@HappyVisas thanks for the reply, the application is for a spouse visa, abit nervous regarding the intended travel date.. i didn’t think it was that important. i just gave an estimate date in the application and submitted it. I hope it doesnt get refused due to this reason…
Regarding the 90days vignette, do you think the post office would hold it for the full 3 months or return it back to home office after certain period?
Hello I want to ask i received PSw on student visa and now I am working an translator but my employer does not want to renew my work permit. I am married to a british person. Can I switch to spouse visa and also when I am going to apply do I need to mention my earning or I can apply as dependent?
In most instances you can switch if your husbands income is above 29000 pounds per year and he has been employed 6 months. Because you are legally allowed to work in the UK on your current visa you might be able to use your income in the uk as well to meet the financial requirements. Message me if your looking for an affordable immigration adviser +79257808976
Hi Thanks for the video, really helpful, can i please ask i have to apply for spouse visa extension and there is a question if you ever had any visa refused, i had schengan tourist visa refused, is that a problem?
Thanks
Only if you never mentioned it on a previous UK visa application. So if you applied for your last UK visa and then later got refused, mention the refusal. Normally it is not a problem being refused a visa for another country unless you were refused for something criminal or breach of laws etc
Hi Philip, how you doing? my question is when the applicant enters the address of partner in the applicant section will it has to be the same address or different as when the partner section ask the address?
I didn’t fully understand your question but at Initial application stage (overseas), the applicant puts the address where they live In the country they are applying from and when it asks where she will stay in the UK or her sponsors (partners) address she will put your address in the UK
Hi, im applying for spouse visa. My income is below minimum threshold (with same employer 2years). Therefore im combining with savings to meet requirements. However mandatory doc list is asking for 12 months bank statements and 6 months payslip. Is this correct.? Can i just supply 6months of each?
It is poorly worded but better supply 12 months bank statements showing salary and at least 6 months bank statements show savings. The lowest amount in the 6 months is what they will use for calculations
Hi, Do we need to fill in VAF4A appendix and attach separately or these questions are included in spouse visa application form ?

Hello and thanks for the video. Just a single question: I have a fiancee visa and now that i got married i have to apply for the spouse visa inside the Uk, do I still need a new TB test? (I come from a country is required and already expired)
I will appreciate a lot if anyone can add more information. Thanks again.
You don’t need the TB test if your switching visas in the UK
Hello, I trust you’re good. I’m worried about the accommodation as I rent a double bedroom in a sheared house, I have gotten a letter from the landlord that says my spouse is welcome to live with me in the room and the lease agreement. But am worried if it’s meets the accommodation requirements, and filling the forms online it’s says I should put details of the people living at the address and their passport numbers. We are currently 5 in total in the house and no kids. At the moment am confused 😢and don’t know how to continue the application anymore. Please help me with any advice. Thanks
Compose a letter confirming that the other tenants have no objections and ask them to sign the letter and add full names, nationalities and passport numbers
Hi Phil I appreciate you a lot for making this video. I have a quick question but this has been bothering me.
So I already applied and did biometric for my Fiancé visa. in the application, in the relationship status I choose “unmarried partner” but I read people said I should chose single. However in the guidance, single means “Never been married or in a civil partnership, and that you don’t consider yourself in a relationship” and we are clearly engaged. So it was very misleading.
In other part of application when they ask what is my relationship to the sponsor, I chose fiancé. And also chose that we intend to get married.
At the end of the application, it didn’t generate the IHS fees so I thought I applied to the right visa.
My question is, does my choice in the relationship status (unmarried partner) will lead to rejection because the HO thinks we applied for unmarried partner visa?
Normally entry clearance officers correct small mistakes themselves although yours was quite a big one. My feeling is you have a chance that they will correct it themselves if it is clear what you are applying for. Did you put the wedding plan details, in the invite letter, did you mention your FIANCEE on more than one occasion. On the unmarried partners route, you pay the IHS, but on VFS global sites I have heard that often they don’t take the IHS charge, it’s a glitch. In brief, you have a 50/50 chance.
As part of the application process, the applicant are required to pay the immigration health surcharge giving them access to UK healthcare.
For reference, unmarried partner (common law wife) you must have lived together 2 out of the last 3 years
Thank you .. yes we put wedding plans and we also submit a doc of our intention to get married (email to the city council and wedding ring receipt)
@@user-kq7dy3ny7s then I would say you have a reasonable chance to get the visa as long as the financial documents were in order, you met the financial requirements. Many entry clearance officers have a heart and understand the application process can be complex.
Hello, thank you for the great video. I am earning more than the threshold every month but because its a daily rate pay, it can vary depending on the total days worked in a month. My net pay is different every month (always more than the required threshold). What annual amount should I write?
Are you paid by the hour? In full time employment?
@@HappyVisas i am paid by a set day rate. However it varies from the number of days worked in a month. Sometime months can be 21 days some can be 22 ..or 23. Hope that makes sense.
@@siddiqueulibadsiddiqui2698 it’s not so important, I would use the lowest, gross monthly amount and explain things in the additional information section. I suggest you send me a WhatsApp message +79257808976 and I’ll call you and explain it by phone
Hi, where does the sponsor upload their supporting documents and is it better to add more than needed?
It will redirect you to another government affiliated website depending if applying overseas or in the UK. At the top of the screen it will say upload documents. If applying overseas, only In pdf format.
@@HappyVisas Thanks very much 🙏🏽
Just one more question before we submit this, does the sponsor need to provide a letter?
Please support me so that I can continue giving free advice with a small donation - buy me a coffee. - www.buymeacoffee.com/philipport4 . I hope you liked the video
how to we submit the PDFs of all the supporting documents such as passports, pay slips, proof of relationship etc.
I will be uploading tomorrow a video showing you how to do this. It will be for the general visit visa but the procedure is similar. In brief, once you pay you will be taken to another website where all the documents are uploaded and you book your appointment for the applicant to pass bio-metrics etc
Does annual employment include overtime and 2employer if you have two jobs?
You might want to show all earnings in the last 12 months, above the financial requirements if not sure
Hi, for the financial requirement...is it the gross salary that they take into account or the salary after tax when meeting the 18600 requitement ?
Thank you.
You must make a gross salary of 1551 pounds a month. After taxes and deductibles, you will be left with a lot less but that is not an issue
@@HappyVisas Thank you for your reply. And as I am a first time worker..I do not pay taxes for the first few months...I only pay for National Insurance. Would this be an issue for the application ?
@@aminehenni1890 not a problem, but you would still need to be employed for 6 months

TIA. If someone is having only given name how fill it, no family name mention on passport.
Repeat the first name again where the surname goes but also explain in the additional information section that you only have a first name, hence the duplication.
Hey, I need to double check this if this is correct?
My wife arrived in the UK - 29th July 2021 Her visa expires - 4th April 2024
What I've heard is that I can apply for the FLR now, as she has been here 30 months?
Or shall I wait 28 days before 4th April?
So that i can avoid the IHS increased fees? Lol
You can apply for spouse visa once your wife has been in the UK 5 years. Initial application, extension after 2.5 years (not earlier than 28 days before her visa expires) and then after 5 years, only then can she can apply for ILR at any time.
@@HappyVisas so not advised to apply on her 30 months stay?
@@Tommy-hb1tj she can not apply for indefinite leave to remain until she has been in the UK 5 years unfortunately. The. 3 year rule applies for when she has already ILR and had not spent 9 months of each year in the UK. ILR she needs to be in the uk 6 months a year. For example, she got ILR but had only spent 190 days each year in the UK. Because she is married to UK citizen, she only needs to wait 3 years, each year spending 9 months in the UK to apply for naturalisation. People get confused with the poorly worded guidance. Trust me, she has to extend, pay visa fee, IHS charge and after 5 years apply ILR
The financial requirement of 18,600 will change to 29000 on April 11. So if i for example submitted the application 1 day before the deadline and the decision takes up to 9 weeks (which by then the rule will have changed) will it be an issue?
And just one more question. If the application was successful under the 18,600 financial requirement, at the time of extension after 2 years and 9 months, will my spouse still be under the £18700 financial requirement? Or will i need to provide the new £39,000 financial requirement?
1 day before is fine and old financial requirements will apply to you.
Do I need to stamp bank statements? I have pdf is it not the same?
Hi again, I will be sending 6 correspondence letters each over the 2 years. Do the correspondence letters need to be min 3 sources each for the applicant and sponsor?
Yes they do but they can be in joint names
Hi Phil,
I have another question that's causing me a lot of worry. I'm wondering if you can help answer my question.
My question is can I fill out the application form and submit it and then later add the supporting documents. If I do, do this, then when will my application be counted as submitted?
I have ALL required documents, the only thing I'm waiting for is his English exam which will be in another 2 weeks but that means we'll be reaching another payday and I don't want to be editing the bank statements and wage slips again.
So my question is can I submit the application, and most of the supporting documents and then before the biometrics appointment is booked can I quickly upload my English exam results? Will the supporting documents and application only be reviewed after his biometrics appointment? Should i submit what i have so far?
What date will the application submission be, will it be the day the form is completed and paid for, or will it be when all supporting documents are completed and uploaded? Lets suppose I'm missing an important support document, can i add it at anytime after the submission?
The rule is, everything stops when you pay the embassy fee. You couldn’t supply financial documents dated after that date (date of submission, very strict rule). Regarding the English test, you would be hoping the entry clearance officer who will be handling your application will turn a blind eye. Personally I would not risk. You would have to wait if you were my client
@@HappyVisas OK, thank you very much for the information. I really appreciate it 🙏.
