    I'm wondering too, but I believe there are no immediate changes right? I'm hoping to apply my fiancée visa next month.

    I doubt any immediate changes. Naturally brexit or not, continual tightening of the visa rules is inevitable.

    There will be a rise in "anti immigrant" behaviour as the economy goes into recession and inflation takes off.

    The fall in the value of Sterling will come through in fuel prices in a few days, the building trades are already heading into recession - the shares in the big builders were dumped this morning - and interest rates on personal borrowings including mortgages will rise as strains come on the Banks balance sheets.

    I hope that people who wanting to get a visa for their wife/fiancee voted to remain. As you have made life very difficult if you have voted to leaved.
    As I understand that immigration is the first thing to be addressed.

    I don't see why it would make a difference. It's not an EU issue.

    Britain had different immigration rules already in place for non-EU spouse.

    Yes! immigration is not just EU but a rest of a world. But EU is a starting place to reduce immigration and you can guarantee they will restructure the rest of immigration system cause you will have a Brexit a government as David Cameron is resigning.

    No.

    Had Britain voted to remain in the EU, the government would have had to take some form of positive action to reduce immigration levels. Since it can do nothing about migration from other EU countries, there would have remained the threat that non-EU immigration would be severely curtailed or even halted. With Britain leaving the EU, migration from EU countries becomes a non-issue and I rather think that non-EU immigration will become easier.

    non EU immigrants bring the UK treasury over £6000 each in the five years--at no cost.
    how much do EU immigrants cost the treasury?

    Don't worry about it, it will be a long time before any changes are made to the UK settlement visa if any, take your time :)

    @Timmers yeah right. :)
    Is it possible that part of the change is that you might need to get a visa in visiting European countries?

    You will need a visa to visit EU countries anyhow, until you do citizenship.

    I think that goes without saying, his card was marked when he came out with the Brexit budget (project fear) a couple of weeks back that would never have made it through parliament.

    I was just going to post asking the same question.
    Although it will be some time before my girlfriend comes to visit,I wonder how the whole visit,spouse and fiance visa will be affected.
