Executive overview
Do you meet the financial requirement for a partner visa?
UK Appendix FM income and savings route screener. Screening against cited thresholds only — not a caseworker decision.
Planning only — not legal, tax, or immigration advice. Confirm on official portals.
Screen against the UK Appendix FM minimum income requirement for spouse/partner visa applications (£29,000 flat threshold, in force since 11 April 2024).
£29,000 / £29,000 required
Combined qualifying income
- Screening aid only — not legal advice. Only specified income categories under Appendix FM-SE actually count; this tool assumes all of applicantIncomeGBP and sponsorIncomeGBP qualify.
- The £29,000 threshold (since 11 April 2024) is flat and does NOT increase per child, unlike the pre-2024 £18,600 (+child) formula — childrenCount is captured here for context only.
- Cash savings must be held continuously for at least 6 months before the application, in an account the couple can access — a mid-period dip below the required balance can cause refusal.
- Savings-only route (zero qualifying income) needs £88,500 held for 6 months.
Planning only — not legal, tax, or immigration advice. Confirm on official portals.
