Visas: Married People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many and what proportion of partner visas were granted where the applicant used cash savings to count towards the minimum income threshold in each year since 2012.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
The Home Office publishes data on Partner entry clearance visas in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. However, this information is not broken down by the means by which the Minimum Income Requirement is met.
Data on visas issued are published in Table Vis_D02 in the detailed entry clearance visa dataset. The Partner visa subgroup is included in the 'Family' visa type, which covers visas where an individual is applying for a visa on the basis of their relationship to a person settled in the UK or a British citizen.
Information on how to use the datasets can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of each workbook. The latest data relates to 2024 Q2.
