UK PARTNER VISA

Secure Your Parner Visa With Rove

Secure Your Parner Visa With Rove

The requirements for the Unmarried Partner visa are broadly similar to those of the Spouse/Civil Partner visa. However, without a civil partnership or marriage that’s legally recognised in the UK, the burden of proving a genuine and subsisting relationship can be much heavier. Get in touch with us today for more information regarding the strict visa requirements and for expert advice on how to apply for an Unmarried Partner visa.

How Can Rove Legal Help

How Can Rove Legal Help

A Truly Bespoke Support

The Home Office specifies that you and your partner must prove that you have been in a ‘relationship kin to marriage’ for at least two years prior to applying for an Unmarried Partner visa. We can help you to gather the documentation required and make sure that all evidence is presented correctly.

Proactive Advice

We will assist with every step of the complex visa application process. If your partner has unfortunately been denied a visa, and you would like to challenge the decision or make an appeal, we can provide professional advice and legal representation.

Expert Lawyers

If your Unmarried Partner visa expiry date is approaching, we can help you to apply for an extension. If you have already completed five years’ continuous residence in the UK, we can instead advise you on your eligibility for ILR.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I prove that my partner and I are in a ‘genuine and subsisting relationship’?

If you’re not married or in a civil partnership, you’ll need to prove that you and your partner have been living together in a relationship for at least two years. In this situation, the following items may be used as proof of your relationship:

  • Utility bills, bank statements or tenancy agreements that confirm you live at the same address or pay bills together
  • A letter from your doctor or dentist confirming that you live at the same address

The Home Office may accept evidence such as one-off bills (e.g. vet’s fees or home repair costs), voter registration letters, or student finance paperwork. However, it is important to note that UKVI are less likely to grant you a visa based on this evidence.

Texts, social media messages, photos and receipts are among the items that are not considered strong evidence and should not be relied upon in your application for an Unmarried Partner visa.

The application cost for an Unmarried Partner visa is £1,538 if applying from outside the UK, or £1,048 if applying while in the UK.

You may also be liable to pay the healthcare surcharge which costs £1,872 if you’re staying for two years and nine months, and £1,560 if you’re extending to stay for two years and six months.

You can stay in the UK on an Unmarried Partner visa for up to two years and nine months. If you are switching to this visa from another category, or you are applying for an extension, you can stay in the UK for up to two years and six months.

Once you’ve been in the UK as a partner for a minimum of five continuous years, you may be eligible to apply for settlement or indefinite leave to remain. These five years exclude any time spent in the UK on another visa, including as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner.
