Hello, The requirements are different so being refused a visitors visa should not have any effect on your spouse visa application.
To qualify for a UK spouse / marriage visa you must satisfy the following requirements:
-
You and your spouse must be 18 years old or over.
-
You must have met each other and be legally married - this is to prevent arranged marriages.
-
You must intend to live together permanently.
-
You must have enough money to support yourselves (and any dependents) without claiming public funds.
-
Your sponsoring partner must earn more than £18,600 per year or have enough savings to be able to sponsor you. The minimum financial requirement is higher if they are also sponsoring dependant children.
-
You must have suitable accommodation for you, your spouse and any dependants.
-
You must satisfy the English language requirements.
