No5 Chambers Barristers challenge earning threshold to bring over a non-EU spouse

UK nationals must earn more than £18,600 to bring over a non-EU spouse


UK nationals must earn more than £18,600 to bring over a non-EU spouse, rising to £22,400 if they have a child who does not have British citizenship, and by an additional £2,400 for each subsequent child.

Seven supreme court justices including the court’s deputy president, Lady Hale, will decide after a three-day hearing whether the rules contravene article 8 of the European convention on human rights, covering respect for private and family life.
