What is the accommodation requirement?

If you are applying for a partner visa you must show that:

there will be adequate accommodation for you in the UK;
you do not need to rely on public funds; and
you are in accommodation which your family owns or occupies exclusively.

One reason why applications can be rejected is because visa applicants fail to understand the complicated rules on what documentation to provide to evidence that the accommodation is sufficient. If you would like to know more information about supporting documents, please contact us.
