Your Questions on Spouse Visa Extensions Answered

When should I apply to renew my spouse visa?
You should apply before your current visa expires. The initial visa usually lasts 2.5 years (30 months), and the extension adds another 2.5 years. After 5 years total, you can normally apply for permanent settlement (Indefinite Leave to Remain).
Who qualifies for a spouse visa extension?
You must apply if you are the spouse or civil partner of a British citizen, someone settled in the UK, an EU national with pre-settled status, a Turkish ECAA visa holder, or someone with refugee or humanitarian protection in the UK.
What are the key requirements for an extension?
You must show you remain in a genuine relationship and plan to live together permanently. You must still meet the financial requirement (currently £38,700 annual household income) and accommodation requirement and meet a higher English level (CEFR A2) than for the initial visa.
How do I apply for a visa extension?
Submit your application online using Form FLR(M), pay the fee and Immigration Health Surcharge, give biometric details at a UKVCAS center, and upload all supporting documents. Errors can make your application invalid.
What documents are needed?
Your current passport, marriage certificate, proof of living together for the past 2.5 years (joint bills, bank statements), and proof of meeting the financial requirement (payslips, P60s).
How can we prove we’ve lived together?
Provide official correspondence addressed to both of you at the same address, from at least 6 recognized sources (e.g., utility bills, bank statements, NHS letters), evenly spaced over 2.5 years.
What are the benefits of extending my visa?
Approval keeps you on track for permanent settlement in the UK, allows you to stay with your family, and moves you closer to British citizenship.
What if my application is refused?
You can challenge it. The Home Office is strict, and even small mistakes can lead to rejection. We have the expertise to appeal and fight for your right to stay.
What are the continuous residency rules?
While there’s no fixed limit on days abroad, you must show an intention to live in the UK with your partner. Long absences can make this harder, so seek advice if you’ll be away for extended periods.
What is the 2025 extension fee for spouse visa?

Applying from outside the UK: £1,846 per person.
Applying from inside the UK: £1,048 per person.
These fees apply equally to the main applicant and any dependents.
