Spousal Visa
What is a Spousal Visa?
A Spousal Visa allows the legally married spouse or recognized partner of a citizen or permanent resident to live together in the same country. It is one of the most common family-based visas, offering foreign spouses the right to stay, work, and access public services. Most countries require proof of a genuine relationship, marriage registration, and the sponsor’s ability to provide financial support. Spousal visas often serve as a bridge to long-term residency or citizenship, making them a key pathway for couples to build their lives together abroad.
Who is it for
Legally married spouses or recognized partners of citizens or permanent residents.
Stay Duration
Typically valid for 2–5 years, with renewal or permanent residence options.
