Dependants and financial requirement UK Spouse visa

Featured Replies

Hi

My wife has no children, I have 2 children from a previous relationship who do not live with me!

Does my financial income need to be £18,600? In regards to obtaining a "family of a settled person" visa

I'm not sure if I need to have additional income for each child or if this does not apply to me.

Or are the dependants/income requirements referring to if my wife has children?

Many thanks

Are you intending to take the children to the UK? What nationality are they?

Moved to the visas for other countries forum.

Yes I will be applying for my wife to come to England.

I am a British and living in England!

I have a child from a previous relationship in England and my wife in Thailand has no children.

What is my financial requirement?

Do I need to earn additional on top of the £18,600 as I have children or is it if I am sponsoring a child alongside my wife that I need to earn additional costs e.g £18,600 + £3,700 for 1 child

If you are sponsoring only your wife, and no children, from Thailand, and if your only child is a British citizen in the UK, then the financial requirement you have to meet is 18,600 GBP.

Thank you for confirming that.

Can anyone else also confirm this please?

Also, I am self employed so is the £18,600 requirement after expenses have been deducted? And before tax has been taken?

I earn £30,000 per annum - £8000 = £22,000

As you seem doubtful for some reason, I can confirm that what Tony M says is correct; he does, after all, know more about this than most of the rest of us!

The financial requirement only applies to those making an actual application.

For how to meet the requirement if self employed, and the evidence required, see part 9 of the financial requirement appendix.
