Holiday - Spouse Visa

Post by AL1982 » Sat Feb 02, 2019 6:52 pm

Hi

We are planning a holiday.

Wife is in spouse visa.

What is max duration allowed our of the country?

Will this have an effect on application for Further Leave to Remain?

Will we need to apply for anything or complete forms and can holiday just be booked?

There is no absence limit on spouse visa. Just make that holidays doesn't affect your/your partner's ability to meet financial requirement.

Its not correct entirely. When you apply spouse visa then you show intent to live permanently in United Kingdom so your stay outside UK should be limited and for valid reasons

According to guidance note

"In applications for further limited leave to remain or for indefinite leave to remain in the UK as a partner, where there have been limited periods of time spent outside the UK, this must be for good reasons and the reasons must be consistent with the intention to live together permanently in the UK. Good reasons could include time spent in connection with the applicant’s or their partner’s employment, holidays, training or study.
If the couple have spent the majority of the period overseas, there may be reason to doubt that all the requirements of the Rules have been met, e.g. that the couple intend to live together permanently in the UK. Each case must be judged on its merits, taking into account reasons for travel, length of absence and whether the applicant and sponsor travelled and lived together during the time spent outside the UK. These factors will need to be considered against the requirements of the Rules"

Your ability of googling seems good but you hardly understand it correctly. The one you reading is in case where you leaving the UK temporarily for some time. But going on holidays or vacations is very normal practice that everyone do and it doesn't affect at all.

Whats wrong to google Official guidance and policy ? It seem you were born as expert without reading anything but my post was in reference to your comment " There is no absence limit on spouse visa" which suggest you can be outside UK as long as you want which is not correct so relax MR expert :)

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Thanks All.

Do you think a 2.5 / 3 Month multi country tour would be considered excessive?

No issue because even the cohabitation documents usually have a gap of between 2-3 months. Just make sure that your earning doesn't fall if you are applying extension soon.
