Settlement Visas

A person who is married to a British Citizen or a person who is present and settled in the UK can apply for UK spouse visa. If the applicant is outside the UK, an entry clearance application as a spouse should be submitted to the British High Commission/Embassy/Consulate in the country of nationality or country of origin of the applicant. If you are already in the UK with a visa issued for longer than six months, you can switch into spouse visa from inside the UK by making FLR (M) application to the Home Office, UKBA. We provide Same Day Visa Service for an application for switching into spouse visa from inside the UK.

If you are already in the UK on spouse visa as a spouse of a settled person, we can provide Same Day Visa Service for your application for renewal/extension of your spouse visa from inside the UK. An application for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) as a spouse of a person present and settled in the UK can be made to the Home Office, UKBA on the completion of two years probationary spouse visa which was granted under the Immigration Rules in place before 9 July 2012 on the basis of marriage to a person present and settled in the UK. A person who was granted initial entry clearance or leave to remain as a spouse under the Immigration Rules in place from 9 July 2012 will have to complete 5 years residence in the UK under spouse visa before an application for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) as a spouse can be made to the Home Office, UKBA.
