The relationship requirement for a spouse visa from Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules is as follows:

E-ECP.2.1. The applicant’s partner must be-
(a) a British Citizen in the UK, subject to paragraph GEN.1.3.(c); or
(b) present and settled in the UK, subject to paragraph GEN.1.3.(b); or
(c) in the UK with refugee leave or with humanitarian protection.

If you satisfy one of those, you would be eligible to to bring a spouse/partner to the UK subject to meeting all of the other requirements for the visa (financial, relationship, English language, etc.) outlined in the link below (Section E-ECP) for entry clearance.

Thanks a lot!
One more question, As I can’t travel back to my home country. If I get married over phone/internet or in a third country, would I still be able to sponsor my spouse.
Regards
