I am writing this article asking for immigration advice
in Gibraltar. I have recently received a job offer in Gibraltar and we
have decided to move there later this month. However, I have a doubt
over my wife's current 2 year UK spouse visa which has about 12 month to
run out. By UK immigration law (application made prior 9th July 2012)
that a spouse visa holder needs to live in the UK with his/her British
partner up to 2 years( 5 years if application made after 9th July 2012)
in order to apply permanent residency. But due to the fact that we both
are moving to Gibraltar, so does it mean that she is breaching her
spouse visa condition as she will be living in British oversea territory
- Gibraltar instead of mainland UK? My argument is that as myself a
british citizen who is legally living with my wife at all time. Should I
be concerned when comes to apply her permanent resident visa next year?
Thanks guys!
