She needs to change to FLR(M) spouse visa and meet the English and financial requirements. She should do this before she travels out of the UK.

Visa fee is £1033 plus £1000 IHS.

Thanks for your reply CR001 .
It’s mean she can stay on current entrepreneur dependent visa until we manage to fulfil
the English and financial requirement?
Actually some lawyer told me that once you go for 10 years long residency Ilr then Ukvi will immediately ask your wife to change visa category to ilr dependent within 2 weeks.
Is it correct or it’s optional cause she got visa till October 2021.
Thanks

It is not immediate but you are expected to switch asap. She should not travel with that visa as she could be refused entry
