Spouse & Partner Visa SELT

What English Test Do You Need for a Spouse Visa?

To apply for a UK spouse visa or partner visa as a non-EEA national, you must pass an A1 Secure English Language Test (SELT) from a UKVI-approved provider. This proves to the Home Office that you have a basic level of English before entering the UK.

The A1 SELT tests Speaking and Listening only. You need to show that you can communicate in very simple, everyday situations — introducing yourself, answering personal questions, and understanding basic spoken English.

While A1 is the lowest CEFR level, many applicants feel nervous about a formal test — particularly if they have not spoken English regularly. Our preparation is specifically designed to build confidence and ensure nothing comes as a surprise on the day.

What the A1 SELT Involves

🗣️

SpeakingA short conversation with a trained examiner — your name, family, daily routine and where you live. Simple, friendly and brief.

🎧

ListeningShort, simple recordings — names, numbers, times and basic instructions. You need to understand basic information.
