New English
language
requirement for
partners who
want to enter or
extend their
stay in the UK
as the partner
of a British
citizen or a
person settled
here
You must now
show that you
can speak and
understand
English if you
are a
non-European
migrant and you
want to enter or
extend your stay
in the UK as the
partner of a
British citizen
or a person
settled here.
This requirement
was introduced
on 29 November
2010. You must
meet the
requirement if:
¦you are a
national of a
country outside
the European
Economic Area
and Switzerland;
and
¦you are in a
relationship
with a British
citizen or a
person settled
here; and
¦you want to
apply to enter
or remain in the
UK as that
person's
husband, wife,
civil partner,
fiance(e),
proposed civil

partner.
The new
requirement
applies to
applications for
entry clearance,
leave to enter,
leave to remain
and further
leave to remain.
It does not
apply to
indefinite leave
to remain or
citizenship
applications
where the
existing
Knowledge of

continues to
apply.
