Initial entry clearance (UK visa vignette) validity - Spouse visa

Post by pj29 » Mon Oct 10, 2022 12:09 pm

Hi All,

what is the validity for initial entry clearance for spouse visa (UK visa vignette)?
I know that it is generally 30 days but I heard it was increased to 90 days since Covid.
Does any one know what is it currently?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the swift reply. Strangely UKVI document still shows 30 days.

Not strange, a lot of the documentations don't hey updated as frequently as they should.
As of now it is still 90 days validity within which the spouse must enter after grant of visa vignette.
