The unmarried partner visa UK allows individuals in a genuine and durable relationship with a British citizen or someone settled in the UK to live together in the UK, even if they are not married. It recognises long-term partnerships and provides a route to settlement for couples who meet the eligibility criteria.
At Visa and Migration Ltd, we understand the importance of being with your partner. Our experienced team can help you navigate the legal and documentary requirements to ensure a successful visa application.
Who Can Apply for the Unmarried Partner Visa?
To qualify for this visa, you must demonstrate:
- A genuine and subsisting relationship of at least two years, akin to marriage

- The UK partner meets the financial requirement (£18,600 per year or higher if dependants are involved)
- Adequate accommodation in the UK

Required Documents
Supporting documents typically include:
