What to Know

To achieve a successful outcome, it is crucial to pay attention to the following points before applying for the Partner Visa:

    You must prepare documents demonstrating the genuineness of your relationship. Photos, shared bills, or records of time spent together are important.
  • Financial Sufficiency Requirement:
    Your partner must have a certain annual income level or sufficient savings. Failure to meet this condition may lead to the rejection of your application.
  • Language Proficiency:
    You are required to provide a valid document proving your English language proficiency. Your application cannot proceed without this document.
  • Previous Immigration or Visa Violations:
    If you have any prior visa or immigration rule violations, these must be disclosed and justified.

Application Duration

The visa application process should be conducted in a planned and timely manner. To facilitate the process and avoid potential issues, consider the following recommendations:
