Today the UK Government announced that the new minimum salary required to sponsor a wife, husband or partner will increase to £29,000 on 11th April 2024.

The minimum salary for a skilled worker to get a visa will be £38,700 from 4th April 2024.
The UK Government is increasing the IHS as from 16/01/2024 to £3105 for a settlement visa for an adult and £2328 for a child under 18. These figures are approximate as they are not paid in £sterling and will depend on the prevailing exchange rate.

For further leave to remain in the UK this will be £2587.50 for an adult and £1940 for a child under 18.
We have been advised today that the Home Office are now taking about six months to process family and settlement applications after attendance at the application centre in Bangkok. This is due to the situation in Ukraine.
Within hours of Tony being interviewed twice by ITV Meridian for the news at 6 today the case in question has been immediately overturned by the Home Office and the visa issued. This was a case where the Home Office refused a settlement visa for a wife by applying the incorrect rule. Tony was asked for his comments on this case.
