Spouse visa financial requirement for self-employed - minimum per month or per full financial year?

[CJS92]

Hi there,

This may have a simple answer but if I'm wanting to meet the financial requirement for a spouse visa of £18,600 with self-employed earnings, does my evidence need to show that A) I earned at least a certain amount every month? Or B) simply that I earned a total of at least £18,600 in a year?

To clarify: 18600/12 = 1550. Is it important to show that my earnings were AT LEAST £1550 in each month of the last year, or does it not matter at all what the monthly earnings were so long as it all adds up to at least £18,600?

If you are a self employed, you need to rely on NET PROFIT of your most recent financial year.

So the total amount earned in a year - specific monthly amounts are irrelevant?

As long as your NET PROFIT is £18,600 or more.
