Common Spouse Visa Refusal Reasons Explained
Most people don’t get refused because they’re “not genuine”.
They get refused because something in the application is missing, unclear, or doesn’t match the rules.
Here are common reasons spouse visas are refused:
1) Financial documents are wrong
Wrong payslip dates. Missing bank statements. Income not calculated note. This is a big one.
2) Not enough relationship evidence
A marriage certificate alone is not always enough. The Home Office wants to see proof the relationship is real and ongoing.
3) English test issues
Wrong level, wrong test provider, expired certificate, or taken at a non-approved centre.
4) Accommodation evidence missing
People forget to include tenancy agreements, mortgage statements, or a letter from the landlord.
5) Form mistakes
Dates, addresses, and names must match the documents. If the form says one thing and the evidence says another, it raises questions.
