Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to his oral contribution of 4 December 2023, Official Report, column 41, if he will make it his policy to apply the existing minimum income requirement of £18,600 for family visas to people already in the UK on a family visa and who seek further or indefinite leave to remain.

The revised minimum income requirement will be implemented in spring 2024.

The Government will set out any transitional provisions associated with the increase in the minimum income requirement in due course.

Any applications already submitted will be considered in line with the existing policy.
