Spouse Visa / Partner Visa

Eligibility Criteria for a UK Spouse Visa 

The eligibility criteria for the UK spouse visa is given below:   

Who Can Apply for a UK Spouse Visa? 

Under the Family Visa UK, a partner is legally recognised as one of the following. A spouse in a lawful marriage, or a civil partner in a registered civil partnership. It may also include a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner where there is a genuine intention to marry. An unmarried partner can also qualify if the couple can prove they have been in a relationship similar to marriage or civil partnership for at least 2 years before the date of application. 

To qualify for spouse visa UK, both the applicant and their partner must be at least 18 years old or over. To be eligible, the sponsoring partner must meet one of the following status requirements: 

• Be a British or Irish citizen. 

• Hold settled status in the UK, such as indefinite leave to remain, settled status, or proof of permanent residence. 

• Be a national of the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein with pre-settled status, provided residence in the UK began before 1 January 2021. 

• Hold a Turkish Businessperson visa or Turkish Worker visa. 

• Have protection status in the UK, such as leave to remain as a refugee or humanitarian protection. 

• Have permission to stay in the UK as a stateless person, where that permission was granted before the applicant became their partner. 

The couple must demonstrate that they intend to live together permanently in the UK. Where the sponsoring partner holds settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme, the applicant should check whether the EU Settlement Scheme or family visa route is appropriate, as eligibility depends on the facts and relevant deadlines. 

What Are the Requirements for a UK Spouse Visa?

The requirements for the partner visa UK are as follows. 

Suitability Requirements for a UK Spouse Visa 

Applicants must also meet the suitability requirements under the Immigration Rules. The Home Office may refuse an application where there are serious criminal convictions, deception, false documents, unpaid NHS debt, litigation debt, exclusion grounds, previous immigration breaches or other conduct concerns. Suitability issues are fact-sensitive, so applicants should disclose relevant matters carefully and provide supporting explanations where required. 

Relationship Requirements for the UK Spouse Visa 

Applicants for a UK spouse visa must satisfy the relationship requirements set out in Appendix FM. These rules are designed to ensure that the relationship is genuine, legally valid, and that both partners are committed to living together permanently in the UK. 

The key requirements include: 

• Both the applicant and their partner must be at least 18 years of age at the date of application. 

• The couple must not be within a prohibited degree of relationship, such as parent and child or siblings. 

• They must have met each other in person prior to the application. 

• The relationship must be genuine and subsisting. 

• Both partners must intend to live together permanently in the UK. 

• Any previous relationship of either partner must have permanently ended. 

• If married or in a civil partnership, the marriage or partnership must be legally valid under UK law. 

• If applying as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner, there must be a genuine intention to marry or register a civil partnership in the UK within six months of entry. Neither partner can be married to or in a civil partnership with another person at the date of application. 

• If applying as unmarried partners, they must prove that they have been in a relationship similar to marriage or civil partnership for at least 2 years before the application. Cohabitation evidence can be important, but the Home Office may also consider other reliable evidence where the couple has not lived together for the full period. 

Where an applicant cannot meet certain standard partner route requirements, they may still qualify in limited circumstances. This may apply where there is a qualifying child and it would be unreasonable for that child to leave the UK, or where refusal would breach the applicant’s human rights. This applies where the applicant has a child who is a British or Irish citizen, or a child who has lived in the UK for seven years, and it would be unreasonable for that child to leave. It also applies where refusing entry to the applicant, or requiring them to leave the UK, would breach their human rights. 

How to Prove Your Relationship?  

Applicants for a UK Spouse Visa are required to provide evidence demonstrating the genuineness and validity of their relationship. The evidence must be credible, verifiable, and sufficiently recent. 

Acceptable Forms of Evidence 

To prove a relationship for a UK spouse visa, applicants must provide evidence that comes from the government, a bank, a landlord, a utility provider, or a medical professional. The evidence must confirm the relationship with the partner, such as showing that the couple live together, share expenses, or are married or in a civil partnership. The documents must also be less than four years old. 

Examples of acceptable evidence include: 

• A marriage certificate or civil partnership certificate. 

• A tenancy agreement, utility bills, or Council Tax bills confirming residence at the same address or shared financial responsibilities. 

• Bank statements from a joint account or individual bank statements confirming residence at the same address. 

• A letter from a doctor, dentist, or other medical professional confirming residence at the same address. 

Alternative Evidence 

Where the above evidence is not available, other forms of documentation may also be provided, including: 

• A one-off bill, such as veterinary fees or home repair costs, issued in joint names or confirming the same address. 

• Letters confirming both partners are registered to vote at the same address. 

• Student finance paperwork confirming residence at the same address. 

If the Couple Do Not Live Together 

In circumstances where the couple do not live together, for example due to work, study, or cultural reasons, they must explain the reason and provide strong alternative evidence of a genuine and ongoing relationship. Evidence may include proof that the couple: 

• Maintain regular communication. 

• Provide financial support to one another. 

• Share responsibility for any children of the relationship. 

• Spend time together as a couple, for example during holidays or at significant events. 

Financial Requirements for the UK Spouse Visa 

Applicants for a partner visa must satisfy the Home Office financial requirement to demonstrate that they and their partner can adequately maintain themselves in the UK without reliance on public funds. The financial thresholds vary depending on when the first application was made and whether any exemptions apply. The spouse visa financial requirements are given below.  

Minimum Income Requirement 

The minimum income requirement for a UK Partner Visa is £29,000 per year (gross income). The minimum income requirement is usually £29,000 gross per year. It must be met through permitted income, savings, or a permitted combination of sources under the Immigration Rules. Depending on where the application is made and the type of income relied upon, evidence may include income or savings from the applicant, the partner, or both. The required income may be derived from employment, self-employment, or other permitted sources of income as recognised under the Immigration Rules. 

Transitional Financial Requirements (for applications first made before 11 April 2024)  

Applicants who first applied as a partner before 11 April 2024 and are now extending their visa with the same partner are subject to a lower financial requirement. In these cases, the sponsoring partner must show a gross annual income of at least £18,600, plus an additional £3,800 for the first dependent child and £2,400 for each further child. If the total income required because of dependent children would exceed £29,000, only £29,000 needs to be proved. Additional income is not required for children who are British or Irish citizens, have pre-settled status, or are permanently settled in the UK. This requirement can be met through income, savings, or a combination of both, as long as the evidence meets Home Office standards. 

Specified Savings 

If the applicant relies on cash savings alone, without income from employment, self-employment, or other permitted sources, they must show a total of £88,500 in savings. This amount is calculated from the current minimum income threshold of £29,000 (as of April 2024) using a formula in the Immigration Rules: £16,000 plus 2.5 times the income threshold. The amount £16,000 is a fixed amount set by the Home Office and does not count towards meeting the requirement. Only savings above this figure can be used. The multiplier of 2.5 reflects the two-and-a-half-year period of the initial visa, meaning applicants must demonstrate that they have enough resources to cover this period without relying on public funds. 

Alternative Income Sources 

The spouse visa financial requirements can be met through alternative income sources, provided they are permitted under the Immigration Rules. These include: 

• Income from self-employment 

• Non-employment income, such as dividends or rental income 

• Pensions (state, occupational, or private) 

Exemptions from the Minimum Income Requirement 

Applicants are exempt from meeting the minimum income threshold where the sponsoring partner receives certain disability or carer-related benefits, including: 

• Disability Living Allowance. 

• Personal Independence Payment. 

• Carer’s Allowance or Carer Support Payment. 

• Attendance Allowance. 

• Severe Disablement Allowance or Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit. 

• Armed Forces Independence Payment or Guaranteed Income Payment under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme. 

• Constant Attendance Allowance, Mobility Supplement, or War Disablement Pension under the War Pensions Scheme. 

• Police Injury Pension. 

• Scottish Adult Disability Living Allowance. 

• Pension Age Disability Payment. 

• Child Disability Payment. 

• Adult Disability Payment. 

In such cases, instead of meeting the income threshold, the applicant must demonstrate that the couple and their dependants can be adequately maintained and accommodated in the UK without additional reliance on public funds. 

If You Can’t Meet Financial Requirements 

If you do not meet the financial requirements, you may still be eligible to apply for a visa or extend your stay if: 

• You have a child in the United Kingdom who is either a British or Irish citizen or has resided in the United Kingdom for at least seven years, and it would be unreasonable to expect the child to leave the United Kingdom; or 

• Refusing your application would amount to a breach of your human rights by preventing your entry into, or requiring your departure from, the United Kingdom. 

Where the financial requirements are not met, the earliest point at which you may be able to apply for settlement will be after completing a continuous period of ten years’ residence in the United Kingdom. 

English Language Requirement for Spouse Visa UK 

Proof of English is not required where a recognised exemption applies. This may include applicants aged over 65, applicants with a physical or mental condition that prevents them from meeting the requirement, and nationals of listed majority English-speaking countries. Some family visa applicants are also exempt in specific circumstances, such as those who have already completed 5 years in the UK on a family visa and are extending as a partner or parent. 

Academic qualifications 

An applicant can prove their knowledge of English if they hold a degree or academic qualification that was taught or researched in English. If the qualification is from a UK university or college, only the degree certificate is required. If the qualification is from a university or college outside the UK, the applicant must obtain an assessment through Ecctis to confirm that the qualification is equivalent to a UK bachelor’s degree or higher and that it was taught in English. Where the qualification has already been assessed by Ecctis, the applicant may rely on the existing certificate without the need to reapply. 

English language test 

Applicants may also meet the requirement by passing an approved English language test. For a first visa application, a minimum level of A1 in speaking and listening on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) scale is required. Applicants may choose to take a higher-level test. A test result at level B1 or above can also be reused when applying for settlement after five years, provided the certificate remains valid and has not been withdrawn by the test provider. 

When Proof of English Is Not Required 

There are certain circumstances in which an applicant will not need to meet the English language requirement. For spouse visa applicants, proof of English is not required where a recognised exemption applies, such as age over 65, a relevant physical or mental condition, or nationality from a listed majority English-speaking country. 

Exemptions also apply to applicants over the age of 65, or to those with a physical or mental condition that prevents them from meeting this requirement.  

In addition, nationals of specific majority English-speaking countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and several Caribbean nations, are not required to prove their English knowledge. 

Extensions and Higher CEFR Levels 

Applicants seeking to extend their visa after two and a half years may be required to meet a higher CEFR level, depending on the level achieved at their initial application. If level A1 was achieved previously, level A2 must be demonstrated for the extension. If level A2 or higher was achieved, the previous test result can be reused, provided the certificate is still valid. Where an exemption applied at the first application, the applicant should check whether the exemption still applies at extension stage. If it no longer applies, they must meet the required English language level for that stage. 

Accommodation Requirements for a UK Spouse Visa 

The accommodation requirements for a UK spouse visa are as follows: 

• The applicant must provide evidence that their partner is able to maintain and accommodate themselves, the applicant, and any dependants adequately in the UK without recourse to public funds. 

• The applicant must also provide evidence that adequate accommodation will be available for the family, without reliance on public funds, including any other family members who are not part of the application, but who live in the same household. 

• The accommodation must be lawfully occupied and available for the applicant and their family. It does not need to be owned exclusively by the family, but it must be adequate and not overcrowded. 

• Accommodation will not be regarded as adequate if it is, or will become, overcrowded. 

• Accommodation will not be regarded as adequate if it contravenes public health regulations. 

Documents Required for a UK Spouse Visa 

When applying for a UK Spouse Visa, the applicant must provide information and evidence to support the application. 

The documents required for a spouse visa UK application may include: 

• Full name of the applicant and any dependants included in the application.  

• Date of birth of the applicant.  

• Current passport or other valid travel identification.  

• Copies of the photo page and any visa or entry stamps in previous passports.  

• Details of previous immigration applications made by the applicant.  

• Details of any criminal convictions.  

• National Insurance number, if applicable.  

• Parents’ date of birth and nationality, if applying from outside the UK.  

• Tuberculosis test results, if required for applicants from specified countries.  

• Certified translations of any documents not in English or Welsh.  

• Evidence of current UK immigration status, such as an eVisa share code. Where the applicant still has a Biometric Residence Permit, GOV.UK states that it may be used for 24 months after the expiry date printed on the card or until 31 December 2026, whichever comes first. 

• A blank page in the passport for the visa vignette, if applying from outside the UK.  

• A valid email address for making the online application.  

• Evidence of knowledge of English, unless an exemption applies.  

• Evidence of finances, unless a recognised exemption or adequate maintenance route applies.  

• Evidence of the relationship, such as a marriage certificate, civil partnership certificate, or evidence of a genuine and subsisting relationship.  

• Evidence of adequate accommodation in the UK.  

• Evidence that any previous marriage, civil partnership or durable relationship has permanently ended, such as a divorce certificate, dissolution certificate or death certificate, where applicable. 

• Details of children, including children applying with the applicant, children living in the UK, and children who are not applying, where required by the application form. 

• Details of the partner’s previous marriages, civil partnerships, children and financial dependants, where relevant. 

UK Spouse Visa Application Fee/Cost 

The UK spouse visa cost is given below.  

Standard Application Fees 

The cost of a UK Spouse Visa depends on where the applicant is applying from: 

• £1,407 – if the application is made from within the UK 

• £2,064 – if the application is made from outside the UK 

Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) 

In addition to the visa fee, applicants are required to pay the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS), which provides access to National Health Service (NHS) services during their stay. This surcharge is paid upfront for the full duration of the visa. 

• For adults (18 and over): £1,035 per year 

• For children (under 18): £776 per year 

Optional Priority Processing Services 

Applicants may request faster processing by choosing either priority or super priority services. The availability of these services depends on the location and the type of application. 

• Priority Service – £500
  This service generally offers a decision within 5 working days for applications made inside the UK, or within 30 working days for family visa applications made outside the UK. 

• Super Priority Service – £1,000
  This service provides a decision by the end of the next working day but is only available for in-country applications. This service cannot be used by applicants who are applying as an adult coming to be cared for by a relative. 

These services incur additional fees and must be paid in addition to the standard visa and health surcharge costs. Not all applicants will be eligible, and availability may be limited depending on the visa centre and current service capacity. 

Fee Waivers 

Applicants applying from inside or outside the UK may be able to apply for a fee waiver if they cannot afford the application fee and meet the Home Office affordability criteria. Eligibility requires evidence that paying the fee would cause financial hardship. This includes circumstances where: 

• The applicant does not have a place to live and cannot afford one 

• The applicant has housing but cannot afford basic living expenses, such as food or heating 

• The applicant’s income is very low, and paying the fee would negatively affect the wellbeing of their child 

Fee waivers may be available in limited circumstances for applicants applying from inside or outside the UK where they cannot afford the application fee. The applicant must provide evidence that they do not have a place to live and cannot afford one, have accommodation but cannot afford essential living costs such as food or heating, or have a very low income and paying the fee would harm their child’s wellbeing. 

The Application Process 

The application process for the spouse visa UK is given below: 

Decision Time for a UK Spouse Visa 

The processing time for spouse visa UK varies depending on whether the application is submitted from inside or outside the UK, and whether all eligibility criteria are fulfilled. 

• Applications submitted from outside the UK:
  A decision is typically made within 12 weeks from the date of biometric enrolment. 

• Applications submitted from within the UK (standard route):
  If the applicant meets both the financial and English language requirements, a decision is usually issued within 8 weeks. 

• Applications submitted from within the UK (exception route):
  If the applicant does not meet the financial and/or English language requirements and is applying under exceptional circumstances (e.g., on the basis of family life under Article 8 of the ECHR), the processing time may extend to approximately 12 months. 

In some cases, applicants may be eligible to pay an additional fee for priority or super priority services to receive a faster decision, subject to availability. 

Duration of a UK Spouse Visa 

The duration of a UK Spouse Visa depends on the type of application and the applicant’s circumstances. 

•  For first-time applicants applying from outside the UK, the initial visa is typically granted for 2 years and 9 months (33 months).  

• If the application is made from within the UK, the standard grant is 2 years and 6 months (30 months). 

•  Individuals applying as a fiancé, fiancée, or proposed civil partner are granted permission to stay for 6 months; after the marriage or civil partnership takes place, they must apply to switch to the spouse visa route.  

• After completing the initial period, applicants may apply to extend their visa for an additional 2 years and 6 months. 

•  Upon completing 5 continuous years in the UK under the spouse visa category, they may become eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), provided all other requirements are met. 

• Time spent in the UK on any other visa route, or as a fiancé, fiancée or proposed civil partner, does not count towards the 5-year qualifying period for ILR as a partner. 

•  Extensions must be submitted before the current leave expires, and if extending to remain with the same partner, up to 28 days of existing leave may be carried over into the new grant period. 

UK Spouse Visa to ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain) 

Applicants who meet the continuous residence and eligibility requirements can progress from a spouse visa to ILR after five years.  

Eligibility for ILR 

After completing 5 years in the UK on a Spouse Visa, an applicant may apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). 

To qualify, the applicant must: 

• Provide evidence that the relationship has remained genuine and subsisting, that the couple have lived together as required, and that any periods living apart are properly explained with supporting evidence. 

• Satisfy the financial requirement and the English language requirement at the ILR stage. 

• Pass the Life in the UK Test, unless they are exempt. 

If the applicant does not meet the requirements for ILR at the end of the 5-year period, they may apply to extend their Spouse Visa until they are able to satisfy the criteria for settlement. This may be granted as a further 2.5-year period of leave under the five-year route where the relevant requirements continue to be met. Where the applicant cannot meet the financial requirement, the English language requirement, or certain eligibility requirements, but refusal would breach their right to family or private life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, they may instead be granted leave on the 10-year route to settlement in accordance with Appendix FM of the UK Immigration Rules. 

British Citizenship and Naturalisation 

An individual residing in the UK on a spouse visa may ultimately pursue British citizenship through the process of naturalisation. Naturalisation represents the final stage of immigration status, conferring full citizenship rights, including the ability to apply for a British passport. 

Once ILR is granted, the requirements for naturalisation depend on the applicant’s marital status: 

• Where the applicant is married to, or in a civil partnership with, a British citizen: the applicant may apply for naturalisation immediately upon receiving ILR, without the need to wait 12 months. 

• Where the applicant’s partner is not a British citizen but holds settled status: the applicant must ordinarily wait a period of 12 months after being granted ILR before applying. 

Where the applicant is not applying as the spouse or civil partner of a British citizen, they normally apply under the standard naturalisation route. Different residence and absence requirements apply, and the applicant will usually need to have held ILR, settled status or permanent residence for at least 12 months before applying. 

In addition to ILR, an applicant for naturalisation as the spouse of a British citizen must demonstrate compliance with the statutory residence requirements, namely: 

• At least three years of residence in the UK preceding the date of application. 

• No more than 270 days’ absence from the UK during that three-year period. 

• No more than 90 days’ absence from the UK during the final 12 months. 

• Physical presence in the UK exactly three years before the date on which the Home Office receives the application. 

The applicant must also be of good character, satisfy the English language requirement, and have passed the Life in the UK Test (unless exempt). 

Upon approval of the application and successful attendance at the citizenship ceremony, the applicant will be formally recognised as a British citizen. They may then apply for a British passport, evidencing their new status. 

Refusal of Spouse Visa Applications 

Spouse visa applications are frequently refused where applicants fail to satisfy key Home Office requirements. The most common reasons include: 

• Incomplete documentation – failure to provide all required supporting evidence or submitting unclear or uncertified documents. 

• Failure to meet financial requirements – inability to prove the sponsoring partner meets the minimum income or savings threshold. 

• Insufficient evidence of a genuine relationship – lack of convincing proof that the relationship is genuine and subsisting. 

• Failure to meet the English language requirement – not providing an approved English test certificate or failing to reach the required level. 

Appeal process 

When a spouse visa application is refused, the applicant must carefully review the refusal letter issued by the Home Office, as this document sets out the reasons for the decision and forms the basis for any potential challenge. The applicant must then establish whether a right of appeal exists, since not all refusals carry such a right. A right of appeal is generally available where the refusal engages human rights issues, such as the right to family life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. In such cases, the appeal must be lodged with the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) within the prescribed deadline, which is normally 28 calendar days for applications made outside the UK or 14 calendar days for those made inside the UK. 

Where no right of appeal is available, or where an appeal is unsuccessful, the applicant may still consider alternative remedies. The applicant should check the refusal letter to determine whether Administrative Review is available. In many spouse visa cases, the appropriate next step may be a fresh application, an appeal where available, or specialist legal advice on whether Judicial Review is arguable. Given the complexity of these procedures and the potential impact of a refusal, it is strongly advised that applicants obtain professional guidance from a qualified immigration solicitor before taking further steps. 

Special Circumstances 

In certain circumstances, a spouse visa applicant may be eligible for ILR without completing the standard five-year route or may be granted leave to remain on an alternative basis. These circumstances include: 

• An applicant may apply for ILR as a bereaved partner if their sponsoring spouse or civil partner dies while they hold valid leave as a partner. Evidence must include the death certificate and proof that the relationship was genuine and subsisting prior to the partner’s death. 

• Victims of domestic abuse who currently hold leave as a partner may apply for ILR under the Domestic Violence Rule without completing the five-year residence requirement, provided the application is supported by credible evidence such as police reports, medical records, or professional statements. 

• Applicants who cannot afford the visa fee may apply for a fee waiver if they can demonstrate destitution, risk of destitution, or that paying the fee would negatively affect the welfare of a child. In relation to the financial requirement, exceptions may be applied under Appendix FM where refusal would disproportionately impact a child’s welfare or where other exceptional circumstances exist. 

• Where refusal would breach the applicant’s right to family or private life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, leave may be granted under the relevant exception provisions or, in some cases, outside the Immigration Rules. Many successful exception cases are placed on the 10-year family or private life route to settlement. 

Recent Updates and Future Changes to UK Family Visa Rules 

The UK Government’s May 2025 Immigration White Paper sets out major reforms to family migration, with further family migration reforms proposed. Applicants should check the current Immigration Rules before relying on any future changes. These changes are designed to create a clearer framework, tighten eligibility, and ensure families coming to the UK can integrate and support themselves without reliance on public funds. The following reforms are being proposed: 

• Wider coverage: The new family policy will apply to all UK residents, including British citizens, those who are settled, individuals on work routes, and refugees seeking to bring family members to the UK. 

• Clearer relationship requirements: Only applicants in genuine and subsisting relationships will qualify, with specific measures to prevent forced marriages and protect victims of domestic abuse. 

• Stricter English language standards: Applicants will need to demonstrate an appropriate level of English language ability to support effective integration into local communities. 

• Stronger financial requirements: Families must show that they can support themselves without relying on public funds, with plans to review and extend these requirements to additional dependant routes. 

• Protection for Armed Forces families: Serving and former members of HM Armed Forces, along with their dependants, will have their rights to reside in the UK and to secure British citizenship protected in line with the Armed Forces Covenant. 

• Tighter suitability rules: Family visa applicants will face strengthened suitability requirements to ensure they are of good character. 

• Higher English language requirements for dependants: Adult family dependants will be required to meet more rigorous English language standards, aligned with broader reforms across the immigration system. 

Impact of Brexit on EU Citizens’ Family Visas 

Following the UK’s exit from the European Union, free movement ended on 31 December 2020. To protect residence rights, the UK introduced the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) for EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens and their eligible family members. 

Under the scheme, eligible family members may be granted settled status or pre-settled status. Those applying from outside the UK may need an EU Settlement Scheme family permit before travelling. 

• Settled status is available to those who have lived in the UK for a continuous period of at least five years. It grants indefinite permission to remain, giving access to work, healthcare, education, benefits, and the ability to apply for British citizenship. 

• Pre-settled status is granted to those with less than five years’ residence. It provides a right to stay and to upgrade to settled status once the five-year requirement is met. Automatic extensions have been introduced to prevent loss of rights before applicants can qualify for settled status. 

Eligible family members include spouses, civil partners, unmarried partners in a durable relationship, children and grandchildren under 21 (or dependent if older), and dependent parents and grandparents. Those applying from outside the UK generally need an EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit before travelling. 

The EUSS continues to accept late applications where reasonable grounds for delay can be demonstrated. Family members granted status retain the right to live, work, study, and access public services in the UK. 

These protections ensure that EU citizens and their families can continue their lives in the UK post-Brexit, but compliance with the EUSS requirements remains essential.
