Bringing a wife to the UK from another country involves various costs, including visa fees, travel expenses, and potentially legal or translation services. This thread will cover all expenses required to make it. Bear on mind by next year you need to prove that you're earning £38.5k at least in order to meet the eligibility requirements. I'm certain 90% of 20-something year olds don't earn that. Up north over 95% for sure..
Visa Application Costs
Total costs: approx £10,000
Legal and Translation Fees
Estimated costs: £1000
Tavel Costs:
Highly variable depending on country, duration of stay and how many times you meet. She may also want to go back regularly as well so it should be factored in. You may also want to meet a couple times before deciding to marry.
Some of these costs are not necessary, but will be highly likely and variable. These are most likely one-off costs or maintenance costs
£20-35k
Aproximate Higher-End Total Cost:
£35-50k
This is just to bring her over and get her settled. You will likely be responsible for her and take on a much larger financial responsibility. Including children and buying a bigger house.
@JohnDoe and you want me being over a girl and take on COMPLETE financial responsibility and be okay about the fact that they don't want to work
nigga I wanna retire in my 40s. When I said I was 'rich' I actually just meant 'burden-free'. I'm genuinely reconsidering it. It's a massive lifestyle and economic change. All because I'm rejected and missed out on UK foids
