Hello, this is Omamia. Even when we got married 10 years ago it was difficult to get a UK spouse visa.
We share a story about a time when I was actually unable to enter the UK at first. Danny then begins to unravel the challenges involved during the spouse visa application process with Ed, a British man who recently married a Korean. We also discuss the controversial new financial requirments starting in 2024-25.
Isn't it just love? should there really be such strong restrictions on where you're allowed to live with your partner?
Hopefully this video will help international couples to prepare and also avoid shock or disappointment along their journey. Also, this is just the experience of two people who went through the UK spouse visa application process, so please use it for reference only! Please understand that we cannot provide you with accurate information on visa applications because each person's situation is different and the documents you need to prepare are different!
