Family and spouse visa applications involve some of the most complex documentation requirements of any visa category. Our senior consultants handle every stage — from eligibility assessment through to the final grant decision.
Whether you are sponsoring a spouse from abroad, joining a family member who has permanent residency, or applying as a dependant alongside a primary visa holder, our senior team manages the full process.
Family and spouse visas are scrutinised heavily by immigration authorities. Genuine relationships must be evidenced with depth and consistency, financial maintenance thresholds must be met precisely, and documentation must be structured to reflect the relationship accurately from the earliest communication to the present.
Spouse/partner of a British citizen or settled person. Applicant must meet the English language requirement (B1 CEFR) and sponsor must meet the £29,000 minimum income threshold (2024+ rules). 2.5 year initial visa leading to indefinite leave to remain (ILR) after 5 years.
Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor a spouse or common-law partner. Inland sponsorship allows the applicant to remain in Canada during processing. Outland sponsorship processes through the Sri Lanka visa office. Processing times vary significantly by route.
Two-stage visa for spouses and de facto partners of Australian citizens or permanent residents. Subclass 309 (offshore) or 820 (onshore) is the temporary stage; 100 or 801 is the permanent stage, granted after 2 years. One of the most document-intensive visa categories globally.
UAE residents earning AED 4,000/month (or AED 3,000 + housing allowance) can sponsor a spouse and children. Dependent children can be sponsored up to age 18 (or 21 for full-time students). Parents can also be sponsored under specific conditions. Fast processing compared to Western destinations.
For spouses and dependent children of French citizens or those with long-term French residency. A Schengen D-type (long-stay) visa leads to a residence permit. Requirements include proof of relationship, accommodation, and financial self-sufficiency of the sponsor.
Children under 18 of primary visa holders can apply as dependants simultaneously with or after the main applicant. Each destination has specific age limits, financial maintenance requirements, and documentation standards. Our team handles all family member applications as a coordinated package.
Authorities are alert to sham relationships and paper marriages. Your evidence of genuine relationship must be consistent, chronological, and cover cohabitation, communication, financial interdependence, and social recognition.
UK, Canada, and Australia all impose minimum income thresholds on sponsors. These must be met with the right evidence — salary slips, employment contracts, and tax returns — not just a letter from an employer.
Marriage certificates and birth certificates from Sri Lanka require official attestation — Sri Lanka Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then the relevant embassy. This process takes time and must be factored into your application timeline.
Canada spousal sponsorship can take 18–24 months from Sri Lanka. Australia partner visas 2–3 years. Starting with a complete, accurate file avoids costly delays caused by missing documents and IRCC/Home Affairs queries.
