Hi all. So we were granted our spouse visa recently. The wife will join me in 2 weeks. I was reading the pinned notes above and it says the following under spouse visa -

'These two visas are valid for 33 months and after the holder has lived in the UK for 30 months they apply for a further 30 months'

So my question is how do we apply for an extension for a further 30 months? Using FLR(M)?

Yes.

See Apply to remain in the UK with family and Application to extend stay in the UK as a partner: form FLR(M)

Congratulations Marty175, we're about to apply for my wife's visa next week. Happy to see they do actually approve some.

In Thailand they actually approve, on average, over 90%.
