Marry Me With Financial Interest(UK EXCLUSIVE)

Mrs Theresa May the Home secretary confirmed that the Government would be bringing in a new "financial independence" rule imposing minimum income requirements for people seeking to bring foreign spouses or children into the country.

For a non-EU spouse, they will have to earn at least £18,600 a year and if they have a child they will need £22,400, rising by £2,400 for each additional child.

"I think it is important that if people are bringing people into the UK to create a family here in the UK that we say that you should be able to support yourselves and not be reliant on the state," Mrs May said.

In addition, she said that from next year migrants seeking to settle in the UK will have to pass a "Britishness" test.
