The civil partnership visa Uk allows non-EEA nationals to live and work in the UK with their civil partner. This visa route is designed for couples who have entered into a civil partnership in a country where it is legally recognized.

Who is eligible for the UK Civil Partnership Visa?

To be eligible, you must:

  • Be in a genuine and subsisting civil partnership: This means your relationship must be real and ongoing.
  • Meet financial requirements: You must demonstrate that you and your partner can financially support yourselves in the UK without relying on public funds. This may involve proving sufficient income or savings.
  • Meet English language requirements: You and your partner may need to demonstrate sufficient English language proficiency.
  • Not be subject to any immigration restrictions: You and your partner must not be inadmissible to the UK for any reason, such as criminal convictions or previous immigration violations.

The Application Process:

The application process involves several stages:

  1. Gather necessary documents: This may include proof of your civil partnership, financial documents, English language certificates, and other supporting evidence.
  2. Submit your application: You can apply online or through a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) application center.
  3. Biometric appointment: You and your partner will need to attend a biometric appointment to have your fingerprints and photograph taken.
  4. Decision: UKVI will assess your application and make a decision.

Important Considerations:

  • Validity: The initial grant of leave is typically for 33 months.
  • Extensions: You can apply for extensions of your leave to remain in the UK.
  • Settlement: After a certain period of residence in the UK, you may be eligible to apply for settlement (Indefinite Leave to Remain).
