Fee waiver applications apply to applications made in the following categories, not to all visa categories.

applications for permission under the 5-year partner route from applicants who are not required to meet the minimum income threshold because the sponsor is in receipt of a specified benefit relating to disability or caring (see: Appendix FM and Adult Dependent Relative Adequate maintenance and accommodation)

applications for permission under the 5-year parent route

applications for permission under the 5-year private life route

applications for permission under the 10-year partner, parent or private life routes

applications for permission on the basis of other ECHR rights

applications for further permission from applicants granted discretionary leave (DL) following refusal of asylum or humanitarian protection, where the applicant claims that refusal to grant further permission would breach their ECHR rights

applications for permission to stay in the UK as a child under Appendix Child staying with or joining a Non-Parent Relative (Appendix CNP)

The five year spouse/partner route is not a category that is eligible for fee waiver.

Which category do you plan to apply under?
