Spouse Visa in the UK 9th April 2021

Spouse Visa in the UK

A very basic outline

 

If you are married or in a long term civil relationship to a Uk citizen, you should be able to apply for a Spouse Visa.

 

This can take between 3 to 6 months to be granted as long as certain criteria are met.

 

The process can be speeded up by paying an extra amount and may be doable within 3 weeks.

 

The costs are quite high and will usually be in excess of £1000 but not more than £3000.

 

Applications are made to the Uk government through

www.gov.uk or google spouse visa uk

 

You must have a good knowledge of English and have either a specific amount of funds (c £62,000) or have a job offer in excess of a figure in the region of £20,000 per annum.

non UK workers post Brexit

Working in Scottish hospitality industry post Brexit and coming from outwith the UK

Employers need a license to sponsor applicants on a Tier 2 or General work visa which is main UK visa route for skilled workers
9 November 2020, Home Secretary Priti Patel announced that the Government’s new points-based immigration bill had passed through Parliament.
"The so-called ‘Australian-style’ immigration system is designed to favour workers who are judged to be ‘high-skilled’, and end ‘low-skilled’ migration from the EU once the UK leaves the bloc at the end of the year.
Those wishing to come and work in the UK from the EU under the new system would have to secure a job with a minimum salary threshold of £25,600.
Employees earning less than £25,600, but more than £20,480, would still be able to apply for a visa if it was to work in a 'specific shortage occupation' role; while anyone earning less than £20,480 would not be able to take a job in the country.
Government visa sponsor scheme
UK employers wishing to hire skilled migrants must be registered on the Government visa sponsor scheme.
Since 1st January 2021 all overseas workers will require a visa.
Since 1st January 2021 businesses must pay an Immigration Skill Charge (ISC) of £1,000 per year for each skilled overseas worker they employ. "
