UK Partner Visa Extension Made Simple
Extending a partner or spouse visa under Appendix FM means showing the Home Office your relationship is still genuine, still going strong — and that you continue to meet the financial, accommodation and English language requirements. It's a detailed process, but our solicitors handle it carefully, on fixed fees agreed in writing, with direct solicitor access from start to finish.

01
UK Partner Visa Extension Requirements and Process
Extending your visa under Appendix FM means proving three things: your relationship is still genuine and ongoing, you still meet the financial requirement, and your accommodation (and English language, where it applies) still holds up. The minimum income threshold has changed recently, so check the current figure directly on GOV.UK (gov.uk/uk-family-visa/partner-spouse).
We make sure your application has everything it needs — bank statements covering the right periods, relationship evidence the Home Office actually expects to see, the works. We handle extensions across the spouse, civil partner and unmarried partner routes. Take a look at our spouse visa service for the full picture on the underlying requirements.
02
Why Choose Our Solicitors for Your Partner Visa Extension
Our fees are fixed and agreed in writing before we do anything. That means you know exactly what you're paying from the initial assessment right through to Home Office submission — no hourly billing, no nasty surprises.
You'll speak directly with a qualified immigration solicitor. Not a call handler. Not a call centre. An actual solicitor. We're authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, and we work with clients across the country by phone and video, with offices in London and Bradford. And if your extension is refused, we'll advise you on the strongest route forward — take a look at our visa refusal and appeals service.
03
Common Partner Visa Extension Refusal Reasons We Address
Extensions are most often refused over insufficient financial evidence (missing payslips or bank statements), inadequate relationship evidence, or English-language and other documentary issues.
We address these through a thorough eligibility review before submission, matching your evidence to the rules in force on the date you apply. Where an extension has already been refused, we review the decision and advise on the strongest next step.
Past results do not guarantee any particular outcome; every application is decided by the Home Office on its own facts.
04
How We Strengthen a Partner Visa Extension
Every application is prepared by a qualified, SRA-regulated immigration solicitor — not a call centre or an unregulated adviser. In practice that means:
- Confirming you still meet the financial requirement and matching your evidence to the correct category.
- Presenting updated relationship evidence that addresses the genuineness of the relationship.
- Checking accommodation and English-language requirements against the current rules.
- Flagging anything that needs resolving before submission rather than after a refusal.
We work on fixed fees agreed in writing before any work begins; the exact fee depends on your circumstances and is confirmed at your free consultation. Home Office application fees and the Immigration Health Surcharge are separate and set by the Home Office — check the current amounts at gov.uk.

Pricing
UK Partner Visa Extension: From £240*
*Consultation fee. Full service fees vary by case — see our fees page.
An extension is the middle step. The 5-year partner route ends in settlement, and the absence rule that decides it is already running during your extension. Our indefinite leave to remain solicitors set out the continuous-residence and absence rules, including how to audit your own travel history before you apply.
All four Appendix FM partner routes share the same financial requirement and the same evidence rules. The worked savings examples, the document checklist, the published decision times and the refusal grounds are all set out on the UK spouse visa guide.
