Spouse of a British national - Short visit query

Post by jorunnamo » Mon Jun 11, 2018 2:40 pm

I’m a British citizen married to a Turkish citizen. We live in Turkey and I travel to the UK often as I have a property and family there. I wanted my wife to travel to the UK with me for short visits (extended weekends) every so often. We don't intend on moving to the UK, at least not just yet.

My question is: what kind of visa would we need to apply for her if she will only travel to the UK for short visits (and doesn’t intend on moving to the UK)? Unsure if FLR(M) would apply in this case as she won't spend the required number of days in the UK. I presume most information relates to permanent relo to the UK, but not short visits.

Thank you very much for your response.

Regards,
Jo

If she has got very strong ties with back home then she can try her luck in applying standard visitor visa.
