Why not apply for a spouse visa? High risk of refusal for a visitor visa to be honest. What possible strong ties can your wife show as evidence that she is a 'genuine visitor' and will leave the UK? How long is she planning to 'visit'?

1. There is no financial requirement for the sponsor. You might be confusing the requirement set for a spouse visa.

2. Depends on what type of accommodation you currently live in.

3. It is online and she applies from Pakistan.

Because i cannot fulfill fund requirement for spouse visa as i am on tax credit thats why want to apply visit visa and she will not live in uk more thn 6 months.

1- i am living in studio flat will it be fine ?

2- also she changes her surname after marriage will it effect on application?

Many thanks

6 months with hubby is residing not visiting. Unlikely to work out.
Caseworker will be unlikely to accept spouse has any reason to leave for home after the 'visit'.
