Hello,
Have been searching online and on the UK immi website, but unable to find a consistent answer for this one...
Can rental income count toward, or make up the entire, minimum financial requirement for a spouse visa application?
My partner, a UK citizen, owns two properties. One he rents out and one he lives in. His currently salary is above the £18,600 threshold, but if he was to, say, move to Australia with me (an Australian citizen) for a year (during which time we will be married), could his rental income on the two places while he is away be counted to meet the requirement?
The two rental incomes combined would be above £18,600.
We're just looking an an alternative option that wouldn't require him going back to the UK without me for 6+ months while he finds a job with an annual salary of £18,600+, then works that job for six months before I can apply for a spouse visa.
Thanks in advance!

- Can the entire requirement be made up of rental income?
- Can the whole rental income be counted, or is it what's left after tax, management/agent fees are taken out?
- Does rent have to be coming in consistently for a required period of time?
- What kind of proof would be required?
- Anything else we need to know that I am missing?
