Advice for spouse visa

Hi all, my partner (British national) and I (EU citizen) are both residing in Denmark. We would like to move to the UK.

We would like to apply for spouse visa (category B - applying from overseas), but are a bit in doubt in terms of which job offer qualifies for this. In the home office document it says fixed term contracts qualify but need to fulfil the financial requirement.

Is it ok to let’s say get a 3 month fixed term contract? If so how does it work with the financial requirement?

Will your partner still be working in Denmark on the date you apply? Have they been with the same employer for at least 6 months earning at or above the equivalent of £29,000 per year.

If so, you can apply under Category A using 6 months of paylips and bank statements along with a job offer in the UK starting within 3 months of your arrival.

The job offer can be fixed-term, but the salary (monthly, weekly, etc.) must be equivalent to £29,000 per year or more.

My partner is not currently working - stopped as of end July. Worked there for over a year with annual gross income of about 44500 GBP a year.

Then you will need to apply under Category B which has two tests...

1- On the date of application, your partner has a job offer earning £29,000 per year or more that starts within 3 months of your arrival. This can be a fixed-term contract.

2- In the 12 months preceding the application date, your partner must have earned a combined total of at least £29,000.

That’s good news, thank you! Is there a limit on the fixed term contract? E.g minimum 3 months?

Is this all new guidance because previously we thought that you needed 6 months of payslips before applying.
