Partners Together Across Borders
Our Unmarried Partner Visa services help you live together in the UK with your long-term partner. We provide full assistance in proving your genuine relationship, preparing documents, and guiding you through every step of the visa process to ensure a smooth and successful application.
The UK Unmarried Partner Visa offers a pathway for committed couples who are not married or in a civil partnership to live together in the United Kingdom. This visa is designed for individuals in a long-term, genuine relationship with a British citizen or a person settled in the UK. It allows the applicant to join their partner in the UK for an initial period of 2 years and 9 months, with the right to work, study, and build a life together.
A key requirement for this visa is proving that you and your partner have been living together in a relationship akin to marriage for at least two years. This makes it distinct from the Fiancé or Spouse Visa, as it officially recognises long-term cohabiting relationships. Successfully obtaining this visa hinges on providing strong evidence of your shared life, financial stability, and intention to live together permanently in the UK.
After the initial visa period, you can apply for an extension and, after five continuous years in the UK on this route, you may be eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), leading to permanent settlement.
This visa provides a clear and structured route for unmarried couples to formalise their life together in the UK.

An Unmarried Partner Visa allows you to join your partner in the UK if you are in a long-term relationship equivalent to a marriage but are not legally married or in a civil partnership. It grants you the right to live, work, and study in the UK.
You must provide strong evidence that you have lived together in a relationship akin to marriage for at least two continuous years immediately before you apply. Short breaks for holidays or work are generally acceptable, but your main home must have been together.
You will need a comprehensive set of documents to prove your eligibility. Key evidence includes:
• Proof of your two-year cohabitation (e.g., joint tenancy agreements, utility bills, council tax statements).
• Evidence that you meet the financial requirement (e.g., payslips, bank statements).
• Details of adequate accommodation in the UK.
• Your English language test certificate (if required).
• Proof that any previous long-term relationships have ended.
Your UK-based partner (the sponsor) must have a gross annual income of at least £29,000. This can be met through employment, self-employment, cash savings over £16,000, or other sources like pensions or rental income. If you are already in the UK with permission to work, your income can also be combined with your partner's.
Yes, dependent children under the age of 18 can be included in your application. While the financial income threshold of £29,000 does not increase for children, you must prove you have adequate accommodation and can support them without relying on public funds.
UK Unmarried Partner Visa Eligibility Requirements
To successfully apply for a UK Unmarried Partner Visa, both the applicant and their UK-based partner (the sponsor) must meet specific criteria established by the Home Office. These requirements are designed to validate the authenticity of your relationship and ensure you can support yourselves financially in the UK.
