To qualify for a UK Family Visa, you must meet specific criteria set by the Home Office. Requirements differ depending on the visa category, but the core conditions generally include the following:
You must prove that your relationship with your UK-based family member is genuine and ongoing. Evidence may include marriage or civil partnership certificates, joint bank statements, photos, children’s birth certificates, and communication records.
Your sponsor must meet the minimum income requirement of £29,000 per year. Additional children increase this threshold. Acceptable financial evidence includes payslips, bank statements, tax returns, and proof of savings held for 6 months.
You must show that your accommodation in the UK is not overcrowded and meets public housing standards. Proof may include rental agreements, property inspection reports, or utility bills.
Applicants aged 18–64 must demonstrate English language proficiency through an approved A1/A2 test, a recognized English-taught degree, or nationality from a majority English-speaking country.
