Hey can anyone please help me with my queries. I am a British citizen like I was born there but then I moved to Pakistan after 1 n half year.i visited uk few times.now I am married and I live in UAE.my husband and I have planned to move to the uk. The thing is I am not sure if I will get a job since all my studies are done from Pakistan I am have a bachelor degree in media studies.so someone told us that we have saved £62,500 for 6 months we can apply.but I am confused how can we apply when I am not working in the uk.my husband is a software engineer and he can't apply for work Cz apparently they're don't give work visa outside the uk Cz the companies have to justify themselves for the need for hiring a person from outside the uk
Pleas help us

You didn't actually state if you have £62500 savings for 6 months or not.

If you do then you qualify for the financial requirement and don't need to have a job lined up in the UK.

Doesnt look like muddling, OP is referring to having the savings for 6 months.

Pulaski

You're right.

Koyas

Yes we have the £62,500.
But how will we apply? Since I am from uk and he is Pakistani.
Cz I was reading up information regarding it.my husband would be dependent on me. What my question is on what visa can he apply since I am not in the uk nor working there.

Pulaski

The £62,500 savings is the requirement for a British Citizen not resident in the UK to apply for a spouse visa so that their spouse can move with them to the UK. Without the savings you would have to move to the UK and a get a job, and only then could you sponsor your spouse for a visa.

BTW What do you do with all the time you save by not typing the five extra key-strokes it would take to type "because"?

By the way, do you hold a current UK passport?

Koyas

Yes I do.

Koyas

Oh you are one of them 😒 sorry I was in a hurry and I hate typing long messages on the mobile phone.
thank you so much for replying and I see you couldn't resist the sarcasm 😊

Good. Then you can sponsor your husband via the savings route. When he gets the visa you can travel together to the UK.

You, as the UKC will be deemed resident upon returning and he will be deemed joining you in the UK.

It should be straightforward.

Well, could have been confusing as Cz is the internationally accepted abreviation for the Czech republic.

Koyas

Oh! I did not know that.
Thank you for clearing that 🙂

Quick question latest passport meaning the biometric one?!

Novocastrian

I don't recall when the biometric passport was introduced, but if the one you hold is valid (i.e. not out of date) it doesn't matter whether it's biometric or not.
