Bringing your partner to the UK on a Visit visa

The UK Visit visa is a short-term visa that allows individuals, including partners, to visit the UK for various purposes. Not everyone is required to obtain a UK Visit visa for visits shorter than 6 months, so it is crucial to check whether a visa is necessary before travelling to the UK. 

To be eligible for a Visitor visa, your partner must meet the following requirements:

  • Intend to visit the UK for a short-term visit, lasting less than six months.

  • Intend to leave the UK at the end of the visit.

  • Can financially support themselves and any dependents during the visit.

  • Can cover the cost of the return or onward journey, as well as any additional expenses related to the visit.

  • Will not attempt to live in the UK through frequent or successive visits.
