Top 10 Reasons for Family Visa Refusal (Filipino and British)

Priority service is back and you could get a decision faster say 3 to 6 weeks. If you are making the application from inside the UK the wait time is 8 to 12 weeks (on average 10 weeks).

[ Click here ✉] or call ☎ Please note that there are additional legal fees and extra Home Office fees for this service. The relevant location is where the applicant is based as ALL applications are done online.Filipino and British UK Spouse Visa Requirements
Finance and accommodation (UK Spouse Visa Filipino and British)
Earned incomeUsually, for a spouse visa, the sponsor (British or another nationality but holding ILR / Refugee Status) would need to show that they earn £29,000 per year (before tax) (£34,500 from Sept 2024, £38,700 from Jan 2025) . Sponsors in the UK who receive certain benefits such as Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Carer Allowance (CA) etc are not required to show earned income in the same way. Please also note that only the income of the British sponsor is usually counted even if the applicant abroad ( in Philippines ) seeking the visa is also working there. UK earned income of both spouses can be used, not relevant in your case, this is provided that both are working in the UK and have the right to work for the period claimed. The simplest way to meet this requirement is by having a salaried job for over 6 months on a fixed monthly income.
Go to the guide index sectionSelf-employed or Deemed as self-employed (Filipino and British documents bundle in 2024)
If the British sponsor is the Director or related to the Director of the company that is paying the sponsor salary then the sponsor would be deemed as self-employed. Therefore, minimum one-year payslips (pay advice and dividend certificates or equivalent) and bank statements must be submitted, and currently, this would fall within the company’s financial year (1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024). If a previous year also had income above the required levels that too should be provided. In the event the most recent financial year is below the required level it is possible to provide two years and seek to present an average over two years to show the British sponsor does indeed meet the financial requirements.
Below is the list of documents that usually need to be submitted as part of the UK spouse visa application financial bundle (Filipino and British) and also the period it should cover:
- CT600 Corporate Tax Return - 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2024
- Certificate of Incorporation and Current Appointment Record from Companies House
- Unaudited Business accounts - 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2024
- Business bank statements - 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2024
- Current appointment report from companies house - 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2024
- Business premises lease/Certificate of VAT registration/ PAYE as an employer - 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2024
- Dividend vouchers - 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2024
- Payslips showing gross income (For British sponsor from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2024)
- Personal bank statements – all payments and dividends are shown being paid (For British Sponsor from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2024
Since you are applying in May 2024 you may need to include April 2022 to March 2023 and of course, April 2023 to April 2024 documents to show what your income was last year and is continuing at the same or at a higher level this year. This area is very complex and you should seek help to get results first time!

Savings (now till Sept 2024)
Savings can be used to supplement the parties income provided the total is above £16,000 and was held continuously for 6 months or more. The amount above the £16,000 minimum balance is divided by the duration of the visa (2.5 years in this case) and then added to the earned income. Savings held outside the UK. in Philippines, by either party can also be used. You will of course need to provide evidence of the source of the funds as loans and other financial products cannot be used.
Worked example
Jessa is applying for a visa to bring her husband, Nathaniel to the UK. The financial requirement for a husband, Nathaniel is £29,000. Jessa earns £16,501 per year (35 hours a week at £9.07) - her income is £12,499 below the financial requirement. Jessa can use savings to meet the requirement - but needs to have £16,000 plus £2.50 for every £1 her income is below the requirement. The extra amount is 2.5 x 12,499 = £31,248. In total, Jessa needs £31,248 + £16,000 = £47,248. This amount of savings or more must be held for 6 months without a drop in balance to meet the UK Spouse visa financial requirements. This requirement is the top reason for refusal so seek guidance and make sure you have this covered well. ☎ | ✉
Savings (New calculations from 11 April 2024, applicable since 80 days ago)
Savings can still be used under the new financial requirements (11 April 2024 and beyond). In the above example, Jessa would need to show that her total savings is above £73,248. thus meeting the required £29,000 rather than the previous £18,600 / £22,400 (pre 11 April 2024) gross income per year.
Receiving Benefits
If Jessa is exempt from meeting the standard financial requirements of £29,000 / £34,500 because she receives certain benefits as listed below:
- Carers Allowance
- Attendance Allowance
- Personal Independence Payment
To evidence this you will need Official documentation from the Department for Work and Pensions or relevant Agency confirming the current entitlement and the amount currently received together with a bank statement issued within the last 12 months showing benefits.
In this case, she only needs to show that she has what the law says a couple like Nathaniel and Jessa would need to live in the UK. This is about £133.30. per week for a couple and £77.78 for each child (2023 / 2024 tax year). The calculation usually involves adding all the benefits and incomes minus housing costs and council tax liabilities. Any savings held is divided by 33 (the duration of the visa in months) and added to as income.
Why not get in touch now regarding your UK Spouse Visa requirements and calculations call ☎ | ✉
UK Accommodation
As regards accommodation, as a couple you will normally need a minimum of studio flat and anyone with children would need to secure at least one bedroom flat. Children count as half in UK Housing Act overcrowding calculations. A two bedroom flat with a sitting room / lounge would be enough for 5 people.
In the above case, Jessa, would normally need a studio or one bedroom flat to adequately accommodate her husband, Nathaniel .
If you or a family member own your home, you will need a Housing inspection report and a consent letter - We can provide the Housing inspection report and help draft the consent letter. Please call ☎ | ✉ to book this service.
Relationship evidence plus where and how to apply (UK Spouse visa)
Need to establish your relationshipIt has to be a genuine, subsisting and durable relationship (British and Filipino).
You would need to provide sufficient evidence to establish your connection to the Filipino national. Since you would be considered as the sponsor with British citizenship. This would normally include, Filipino marriage certificate, evidence of cohabitation, joint bills, bank statements, birth certificate of any children you have together, joint travel (Philippines / United Kingdom), visitation and on-going communication and shared or common financial commitments. A wide selection of joint photographs of weddings, engagements and outings together. This requirement is one of the top reasons for refusal so seek guidance and make sure you have this covered well. This is a must with the recent announcement on the increase in income requirements to £29,000 / £38,700 (more than double of previous £18,600) ☎ | ✉

UK Spouse visa is a VERY difficult application to do on your own, it is very expensive (more than £5,300 / $6,760) , complex and tricky to satisfy as there are many requirements and specified documents. You may have what the requirements says but you may not have the particular evidence that the Home Office wants. Your application can be refused if only a single point is missed or not adequately evidenced. It is always safer to have a professional look at your situation and the documents you are looking to present to see if there is a risk that can be reduced or avoided.

Is a Filipino marriage certificate valid in the UK? The short answer is that the UK Home Office will recognise any official marriage conducted outside the UK. It has to be a legal Filipino court marriage that meets the local Filipino rules. This may not be true for unofficial religious marriages or certificates from countries where multiple spouses are permitted and one or both parties may still be married to someone else in Philippines or in the UK.Please note that any document that is not in English (only Filipino Filipino), official English translations must be provided. Please get in touch so that we can assess and confirm, if your Filipino Filipino marriage certificate will be recognised by the UK and what to do to make your case stronger and give you peace of mind.

There is no requirement, or facility, to register the Filipino marriage in the UK afterwards. UK has stopped the facility where you could re-register or record a marriage that has been conducted abroad.
What is the difference between spouse visa and partner visa UK?
There are several types of UK family visas for couples, namely: UK Spouse Visa, UK Partner Visa, UK Fiancé Visa, UK Fiancée Visa, UK Marriage Visa. The key difference between them is the status of the relationship, so a Spouse Visa is for couples who are already married. An Unmarried partner visa is for a couple who have lived together (usually 2 years or more) akin to marriage but are not married and currently do not intend to get married. Fiancé, Fiancée Visa is for couples who want to get married (in the next 6 months) and settle in the UK. Lastly, UK Marriage (Visitor) Visa is for couples living abroad and who want to get married in the UK but are not currently looking to settle in the UK.Can I bring my Filipino girlfriend to the UK? You can bring your Filipino girlfriend / boyfriend to the UK as a visitor / student / worker, however to settle here i.e. stay for longer than 6 months or be able to work and study in the UK based on the family ties (husband / wife / girlfriend / boyfriend / unmarried partner) they would need to meet the UK spouse visa requirements or UK unmarried partner visa requirements.
UK Family visa or UK Dependant visa?
Please remember that if your sponsor is in the UK on a work visa or student visa, you cannot apply for a family visa, since your family member themselves are in the UK temporarily under a sponsorship from a company or university, as a worker or a student. You can only apply to stay with them as their dependant instead. This is a different route and has different requirements. We can help you with your UK Dependant visa applications, please get in touch.
Can my Filipino partner work in the UK?
Yes, with a spouse visa, you can work, run a business, study and travel in and out as many times as you like. You should watch your time outside UK (Philippines) because If you have too many days of absence this may mean you do not qualify for permanent settlement (ILR).How much bank balance is required for UK spouse visa?
Usually, if you meet the income requirements of £29,000 or £34,500 (from Sept 2024), the bank balance is not relevant. If you are relying on savings you need £88,500 ($115,769) (4,422,990 Philippine Pesos) or (£102,250 ($115,768) (7,979,074 Philippine Pesos) from 11 April 2024) or more minimum balance (fully on savings) or a mix of income and savings £16,000 ($20,931) (1,132,285 Philippine Pesos) to £88,500 / £102,250 or more in savings).Filipino partner income
Usually, the applicant's income is only considered and can be included if the application is made while resident in the UK and they have permission to work as per their current visa remarks. Savings can be used from both partners and regardless of where the funds are held long as the bank is an FCA approved Bank and the source of funds evidence is also available.What is the UK Filipino spouse visa duration and how much does it cost?
The UK Filipino spouse visa / unmarried partner visa is issued initially for 3 months (example Valid from : 1/07/2024 and Valid until : 1/10/2024 ) via a vignette/sticker on your passport in Philippines. Once in the UK you will collect your BRP card from your local Royal Mail Post Office offering BRP Card Collection Service and it will have a 33 months duration (example Place and Date of Issue : UK 1/07/2024 Valid until 31/12/2024*). All BRP cards issued now end on 31/12/2024 even if your visa expires on 1/16/2026 . This is because the UK Home Office is looking to change or discontinue BRP cards in 2025. It will move to an online portal (eVisas) where employers, landlords, banks, airports and airlines can view your UK immigration status online. With eVisas you will be required to make sure your passport details are updated on the UKVI eVisa portal.
As regards costs, you are looking at £1,846 ($2,417) (130,637 Philippine Pesos) application fee and £3,105 ($4,064) (219,734 Philippine Pesos) and more for any English translation of documents and other test certificates.
Go to the guide index section Home Office Exchange Rates Policy ( £1 = 68.6511 Philippine Pesos )
The Home Office Exchange Rate Policy (HOERP) is used to set the exchange rates for Home Office fees charged in foreign currencies, The policy applies the Oanda (live bid rate at the time of update) as the base exchange rate when taking payments in any currency other than pound sterling. All Home Office exchange rates are set at 4% above the Oanda live bid rates. This is designed to ensure that exchange rates charged reflect commercial exchange rates, while also ensuring that the risk to the Home Office, and UK taxpayer, of fluctuating exchange rates is kept to a minimum.
What if our Filipino UK Spouse Visa is refused?
If you get a refusal, you have the option to re-apply or appeal. The decision you take depends on your circumstances and the reasons for the refusal. Some reasons can only be addressed via representation and by an immigration judge. You have a limited time to act so contact us for guidance and tips ✉ | ☎What happens if our relationship ends
As the visa is based on the relationship (Partner or Spouse), if the relationship comes to an end the visa would also end, this is not automatic but the sponsor removing their support means you cannot renew on the same basis or will be cut short (if you or the sponsor notify the Home Office). If there are British children involved or there was domestic violence you may have other visa options such as parent of a British child or may benefit from Home Office DV concessions rules. Do you need help with divorce? For guidance, options and tips contact us ✉ | ☎ | Family Law - financial rights and obligations
Getting married is an exciting time and often couples don’t consider how their legal obligations to each other will change when they get married. Why not let us prepare agreements that give you more certainty about your financial rights and obligations if your marriage breaks down.If you are planning to marry, you may want to consider protecting assets or determining the financial terms of separation in case your relationship breaks down by entering into a prenuptial agreement. If you are already married, you may want to consider entering into a post-nuptial agreement to regulate the financial terms of any separation. This step may be particularly important to couples who are moving to or out of the UK and want to link the outcome of any divorce to the laws of their country of origin. The agreement can also tackle financial, tax and succession planning.

What is the alternative to a UK spouse visa?
You may consider a work, student or a visitor visa, since your partner is a visa national. Each visa type has its own set of requirements. Visitor visa is also likely fail if you have weak ties to your country of origin, Philippines and a spouse / partner in the UK. As the Home Office will deem the partner who is settled in the UK as being too much of a strong reason for you to remain in the UK after your visit as a Filipino national. The Home Office may also refuse stating that the visa applied for is the wrong category since you have a partner / spouse who is settled in the UK. They may regard your alternative application as a way of going around the spouse visa costs and extensive requirements.Top 50 global university graduate UK visa options

I am presently holding a student visa and in a civil partnership with a British National. We intend to marry next month. What are the process needed in order for me to switch into a family (spouse visa) and will there be a need to provide due notice to the Philippine Embassy?
Hi. My brother, Michael, is a British citizen and been married to a Filipino citizen, Milly, for 13 years. They have a 13 year old and 10yr old together who were registered at birth as British citizens. They also have a 19 year old from Milly’s previous relationship who my brother has cared for since hazel was about 6 years old, she is also a Filipino citizen. Michael and Milly met, lived and worked in Malaysia for the past 14 years but this year their visa’s were declined in Malaysia and they were forced to make the most difficult decision and split the family. Milly and Hazel have gone back to the Philippines due to the cost and visa requirements to live here and Michael and the 2 younger children have returned to the uk in October 2022. I have a few questions. We are currently making a visa waiver application as the cost of the visa is so much and on the grounds the children are young and split from their mother. So fingers crossed we will be fortunate enough to be granted that. But we also wanted to know….
What extra costs do we need to make?
Does the IHS cost include the NHS surcharge in the cost or are they 2 separate payments of
– Spousal Visa cost
-IHS cost= £1,872
-NHS surcharge =£600+
-Biometric cost £19
-A1 test
-Does Milly and Hazel need to take the B1 test to be able to work in uk or will A1 test be sufficient
-Hazel being 19. What is the correct visa for her. And will she also need to make the IHS cost, NHS costs ect
-Can Michael apply for Milly and Hazels visa’s from the uk on their behalf in the Philippines due to monsoons and bad internet connections in their village and surrounding areas.
Many Thanks for any help you can give
Regards
Clare, Michael and Family
