Spousal Permit

A spousal permit allows a legally married spouse or life partner to live with their partner in another country. This permit is issued to the spouse of a main permit holder, permanent resident, or citizen, depending on the applicable immigration rules.

The spousal permit allows the applicant to stay legally with their partner for a specific period linked to the main permit or residency status. The permit is usually valid for the same duration as the main applicant’s permit and can be renewed as long as the relationship remains valid.

A spousal permit does not automatically allow work or study, but the holder may apply for the appropriate authorisation if they meet the requirements. Eride Technologies supports couples by explaining the process clearly, helping prepare the required documents, and guiding each step of the application.
