What is my visa type?

Post by Lind » Thu Mar 26, 2020 11:48 am

Hi,

I moved to the UK a 2 months ago after I got my family (spouse) visa (I got married to my British partner). I have a BRP valid until end of 2022 and on the card the type of permit is “leave to enter” and “work permitted”.

I need to fill a document for a job I got and I’m not sure what type of visa to choose from the options:
- Permanent Residence or
- Leave to Enter

Can you help me please?
Thanks!!

You have leave to enter or remain, ie a spouse visa. You do NOT have permanent residence.

Thank you for your reply!
There are more options there to choose , but hopefully that’s the one!
Leave to enter saying necessary I have permit to work?
Just worried it will look by the company I’m about to work for that I don’t have the permit to work in the uk.

Unclear what options y ou are given as you have only stated two. But yes, Leave to Enter Spouse visa is correct.

You have a valid visa and a BRP and have no restriction on work.

So I can choose “spouse leave to remain” even if my card says “leave to enter”?

Sorry about my lost questions :roll:

Refer to your decision letter where you will find it written as " leave to remain as partner (Standard) from ----- to --------"
