TOOLS · PARTNER VISA
Spouse visa income check
Enter the sponsor's income and your savings to check the partner visa financial requirement: £29,000 a year, or savings to make up the shortfall.
Information checked: 5 November 2026 · UK rules change often; check GOV.UK before you apply
How it works: the income requirement for first applications is £29,000 a year. Savings above £16,000, divided by 2.5, count as income; savings alone need £88,500. Savings must be cash held for at least 6 months. People who entered the partner route before 11 April 2024 can keep the £18,600 threshold (child additions are not included here). The evidence rules (payslips, statements, employment categories) are strict and this tool cannot check them.
Results are a guide only, not legal advice. Eligibility depends on the GOV.UK rules and an assessment by a UK solicitor.
