Spouse visa to UK partner EU citizen

Post by HellboundeR » Mon Jan 31, 2022 6:55 pm

Hi,

Recently, I am married my wife she is in Turkey and she is a Turkish citizen. I want to get a visa to her so i have searched about it but could not find the way under EEA applications. So does she need an English certificate A1 level? Where we can apply for it i am currently working in the UK for nearly 4 years and my salary is over £18,600 per year.

Could you please help me with that? How can i get a UK visa for her to live here in the UK with me ?

thanks

Recently, I am married
When did you get married?
my wife she is in Turkey and she is a Turkish citizen. I want to get a visa to her so i have searched about it but could not find the way under EEA applications.
Three things:

1. The EEA route is closed due to Brexit
2. The EU Settlement Scheme replaced the EEA route, and it is available for EU citizens who were residents in the UK before December 31st 2020
3. Turkey is not part of the EU or EEA

How is a EEA/EU route relevant to her?
So does she need an English certificate A1 level? Where we can apply for it i am currently working in the UK for nearly 4 years and my salary is over £18,600 per year.

Could you please help me with that? How can i get a UK visa for her to live here in the UK with me ?
What's your nationality, and (if not born British) when did you arrive in the UK?

Were you an EEA citizen who acquired British citizenship by naturalisation after acquiring PR under the EEA Regulations?

Did the marriage take place before 31st December 2020?

If the marriage took place after 31st December 2020, then your wife does not qualify under the EU Settled Status Scheme. It only covers those non-EEA citizens who were already family members (such as spouses) of settled/pre-settled EEA citizens before 31st December 2020.

Your wife will need to meet all the standard requirements for a spouse of a British citizen (English language, Minimum Income Requirement of £18,600, fees of about £3300, etc) and will be issued a 2.5 years visa, etc.

Plus, relevant section for all further questions is immigration for family members.
