A UK Unmarried Partner Visa allows non-UK nationals to join their British or settled partner in the UK if they are in a long-term, committed relationship but are not married. This visa is part of the family visa category and requires applicants to prove they have been in a genuine relationship for at least two years.
To qualify, you must:
✅ Be in a genuine and subsisting relationship with a UK citizen or settled person.
✅ Have lived together in a relationship akin to marriage for at least two years.
✅ Meet the financial requirement (your partner must earn at least £18,600 per year or have savings).
✅ Pass the English language requirement (unless exempt).
✅ Have suitable accommodation in the UK.
The Same-Sex Partner Visa is similar to the Unmarried Partner Visa, allowing same-sex partners of UK citizens or settled persons to live together in the UK. The eligibility criteria are identical, requiring evidence of a genuine, long-term relationship.
The visa is granted for 2 years and 9 months initially. After this period, you can apply for a visa extension for another 2 years and 6 months. Once you have lived in the UK for 5 years, you may qualify for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).
Key documents include:
📌 Proof of relationship – Joint tenancy agreements, utility bills, bank statements, photos, or messages showing your commitment.
📌 Financial evidence – Payslips, tax returns, or savings documents.
📌 Accommodation proof – Rental agreements or property ownership documents.
📌 English language certificate – IELTS or equivalent (if applicable).
📌 Valid passport and travel history.
Yes! This visa allows full employment and self-employment in the UK without restrictions.
Yes. After 5 years of continuous residence in the UK under the Unmarried Partner Visa, you may apply for ILR, provided you meet the residency, financial, and English language requirements.
