Revoke right to stay in UK for spouse visa holders who divorce.
We ask the Government to amend the Immigration Rules so that any person who enters the UK on a spouse visa and later divorces must return to their country of origin, unless there are exceptional humanitarian or legal reasons for remaining.
Spouse visas are granted based on a committed relationship. If the relationship ends, the basis for the visa no longer exists. This change would help prevent potential misuse of the system and ensure immigration rules remain fair and consistent.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Those on a visa that is dependent on a partner's UK visa or a spouse/partner on a family visa will already either need to apply to stay in the UK or leave following a divorce. More information on this can be found here:
