What Is a “Spouse”? A spouse is a legally wedded husband or wife. Merely living together does not qualify a marriage for immigration. Common-law spouses may qualify as spouses for immigration purposes depending on the laws of the country where the common-law marriage occurs.
The Dependent Visa is a powerful tool created by countries to help spouses stay with you while you are studying abroad. It allows professionals, students, permanent residents and others to bring their partner along with them to the new country. It is important to check the detailed arrangements, which are derived from the visa of the assigned employee, and any conditions attached to the spouse, partner or other family members for the specific countries. Here will also discuss the student spouse visa work rights.

How to prove your relationship
- comes from the government, a bank, landlord, utility provider, or a medical professional
- confirms your relationship with your partner – for example, that you live together, share expenses or are married or in a civil partnership
You can use things like:
- a marriage certificate or civil partnership certificate
- a tenancy agreement, utility bills, or council tax bills confirming that you live at the same address or pay bills together
- a bank statement from a joint bank account, or confirming that you live at the same address
- a letter from your doctor or dentist confirming that you live at the same address
If you do not have any evidence that meets these criteria, there is other evidence you can provide instead. However, it’s less likely that you’ll be given a visa in this case.
Other evidence you can provide includes:
- a one-off bill like vet’s fees or home repair costs
- letters confirming you and your partner are on the voting register for the same address
- student finance paperwork confirming that you live at the same address
Things like greetings cards, travel tickets, receipts, photographs and text or social media messages are not considered strong evidence of your relationship and are unlikely to help your application.
