A spouse visa is a type of visa issued by a country’s government that allows the spouse of a citizen or permanent resident to join them in the host country. It enables married couples to live together and often provides the spouse with the right to work and access healthcare and other social services. Spouse visas typically require proof of a genuine marital relationship, such as marriage certificates, and may involve financial sponsorship or support from the sponsoring spouse. They play a vital role in reuniting families and promoting family unity across international borders.
