I'm about to apply for a spouse visa in March. I am getting married to my partner whom I have known for two years end of this month (he's British, I'm from Japan) and am thinking of applying for a spouse visa. I hope someone will be able to answer my questions below:
1) Do I need to show a minimum bank balance at all? If yes, how much? I am currently earning about £26k and my partner earns about £23k per annum.
2) One of the requirements stated that we must intend to live together. At the moment we're not living together but after we get married I'm moving in into his house, and his parents will be living together with us. Is this sufficient? What if by the time I apply we still haven't managed to live together?
3) Is it true that I have to apply for the spouse visa 28 days before my current visa expires?
Thank you so much for reading and helping
