Is it permissible to include both the applicant’s and the sponsor’s income in meeting the £18,600 / £29,000 requirement?

For the initial visa application from outside the UK, only the sponsor’s income can contribute towards meeting the minimum income threshold. However, for visa extensions and applications for permanent residence, both incomes are taken into account. Typically, individuals are required to furnish evidence of earning the specified income for the preceding six months, although the precise regulations can be intricate.

What are the English language requirements for UK visa applications?

Secure English Language Tests that have been assessed as meeting the Home Office’s requirements from 1 August 2014 can be used in a UK immigration application until 5th November 2015, only when they have been taken on or before 5th April 2015. From 6th April 2015 there is a new list of approved Secure English Language Tests and Test Centres.  Anyone taking a test on or after 6th April 2015 must take one of the new listed tests at one of the approved centres if they wish to use it in a UK Immigration application, unless you have a certificate that has previously been accepted by the Home Office as part of a successful application.

Immigration Health Surcharge

You may also need to pay a healthcare surcharge called the ‘immigration health surcharge’ as part of your immigration application.
