Visas: Married People

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to his oral statement of 4 December 2023 on Legal Migration, Official Report, columns 41-43, whether his Department considered regional differences in per capita income when setting the new income requirements for spousal visas.

Answer

Permission under the family route is not tied to a specific geographic area.

A requirement which varies by region could lead to inequalities within regions and make applications more complicated as people would be required to provide more evidence about their location.
