As of April 11th, 2024, a significant change has been introduced to the Spouse Visa financial requirement in the UK, raising the threshold from £18,600 to £29,000. This new rule impacts anyone who wants to sponsor their foreign partner on any UK family visa route, making the application process more challenging.
