General pathway guidance
Visa-specific official steps are still being verified. Use this planning framework, then confirm every requirement with the official authority.
Check the sponsor’s status, financial or residence obligations, and the relationship evidence required for this family pathway.
Practical tip: Review previous sponsorships or immigration history that could affect eligibility.
Organize civil records and evidence of a genuine, continuing relationship, shared commitments, communication, and time together.
Practical tip: Use a dated timeline and representative evidence instead of an unstructured volume of screenshots.
Prepare both sides of the application consistently, including family composition, addresses, travel history, and declarations.
Practical tip: Cross-check dates and addresses across both sets of forms before submission.
Complete the official online form, upload readable supporting evidence, review every declaration, and pay the required government fees.
Practical tip: Save a complete copy of the submitted form, payment receipt, and upload confirmation.
Follow any instructions for biometrics, medical examinations, police certificates, or additional identity checks within the stated deadline.
Practical tip: Only use approved collection centres and medical providers listed by the immigration authority.
Monitor the application portal and your email, answer requests for more information promptly, and keep your passport and contact details current.
Practical tip: Do not make irreversible travel or employment commitments until the visa is granted.
Check the visa validity, entry deadline, work or study conditions, and documents you must carry before arranging travel.
Practical tip: Keep digital and printed copies of the grant notice and the evidence used in your application.
