Hi everyone,

I'll be applying for a UK spouse visa - hopefully very soon.

How soon am I able to apply before our travel date? 3 months or 6 months?

I've seen these 2 different answers on different forums. I can't seem to find anything on the Gov.uk website for spouse visa's. They do say on the website however that it is 3 months for a Marriage Visitor visa.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me please?

Thanks

You can select a travel date up to six months in advance.

Thanks a lot BritInParis!

Do you know if this was a recent change, or has it been this way for some time?

BritInParis

It's been this way for a while now. It used to be three months but the delay in processing times seems to have prompted the change.

Thanks for your help.

While I have your attention...

This forum and specifically your help over the years with many of this forums users has helped me greatly in my application. I can't thank you enough.

Hope you're well wherever you are!

You're very welcome, my pleasure
