Spouse visa question

[Davin]

Hi all,

Just been looking at Gov uk website regarding english language requirement for spouse visa and found there are different options and tests listed there.

If one was to apply for initial UK spouse visa from outside UK and required to prove their english language knowledge, what variant of IELTS they are required to do?

Is it IELTS life skills A1?

Regards

Yes applicants can do A1 or do B1 which is used for future applications. It is the same price so you are better of doing a higher test if your English is good to save money.

Makes sense to do B1 if can be used in future. Thanks for your reply.
