Family visas to the UK: subtleties of paperwork for the bride and wife

UK family visas allow family members of British citizens or UK permanent residents to reunite with their close relatives. These visas enable spouses, partners, children and other close relatives to live and work in the UK on a temporary or permanent basis.

There are several different types of UK family visas:

• family partner visas Spouse Visas: These visas allow spouses and partners of British citizens or permanent residents to reside in the UK.
• family visas for children (Child Visas): for children who want to join their parents in the UK. These visas may also be available to children born in the UK to parents visiting the country on a temporary basis.
• parent family visas (Parent Visas): allow parents of British citizens or UK residents to reside in the country.
• family visas for dependent relatives (Dependent Relative Visas): visas enable close relatives who require ongoing care due to a health condition to join their loved ones in the UK.

To obtain a family visa, you must meet certain criteria, including financial requirements and proof of close family relationships. You must also apply for a visa and go through a review process, which may take some time.

It is important to know that rules and requirements for family visas may change over time, so it is important to contact official sources or UK consulates for up-to-date information on the family visa process.

We also note that fiancé visas (Fiancé(e) Visa) and wife visas (Spouse Visa) in the UK are issued for a certain period. Usually the period depends on the specific situation. But the general rules are:

• fiancee visa (Fiancé(e) Visa): The visa allows you to enter the UK to get married and is usually issued for a period of up to 6 months.

• Spouse Visa: Once married in the UK, you can apply for a Spouse Visa, which will give you the right to live in the UK with your spouse. Spouse visas are typically issued for an initial period of up to 30 months and can then be extended for a further 30 months if certain conditions are met. After this, you can apply for a “partner” visa for a period of 30 months. After 5 years of living in the UK as a partner, you become eligible for permanent residence.

It is important to comply with the terms and conditions of the visa, and if necessary, extend it to avoid violations of immigration rules.
