    At immigration solicitors in London, we ensure every spouse visa application is thoroughly prepared to help avoid unnecessary delays and increase the chances of a timely outcome.

    How to prove your relationship

    Send evidence that:

    • comes from the government, a bank, landlord, utility provider, or a medical professional
    • confirms your relationship with your partner – for example, that you live together, share expenses or are married or in a civil partnership
    • is less than 4 years old

    You can use things like:

    • a marriage certificate or civil partnership certificate
    • a tenancy agreement, utility bills or Council Tax bills confirming that you live at the same address or pay bills together
    • a bank statement from a joint bank account, or confirming that you live at the same address
    • a letter from your doctor or dentist confirming that you live at the same address

    If you do not have any evidence that meets these criteria, there is other evidence you can provide instead, including:

    • a one-off bill like vet’s fees or home repair costs
    • letters confirming you and your partner are on the voting register for the same address
    • student finance paperwork confirming that you live at the same address

    If you do not live together

    If you cannot live together because of work or study, or for cultural reasons, you’ll need to prove that you have an ongoing commitment to each other. You can do this by providing evidence that you:

    • communicate regularly with each other  
    • support each other financially  
    • care for any children you have together  
    • spend time together as a couple, for example on holiday or at events
