The visa, once issued, allows the holder to work without restriction and to exit and re-enter the UK multiple times for a 2 year period. The 2 years issued is a probationary period whereby, shortly before the end of the visa, the Home Office will require to see proof that the couple has been genuinely living together throughout the length of the visa as man and wife.
