Civil Partner Visa

The Civil Partner Visa allows same-sex or opposite-sex civil partners of British citizens or settled persons to live in the U.K., requiring proof of relationship, financial stability, and English proficiency. The Civil Partner Visa permits civil partners of British citizens or individuals with settled status to reside in the U.K. Applicants must demonstrate a valid and genuine civil partnership, meet specific financial thresholds, and satisfy the English language requirement. The visa is initially granted for 2.5 years, with the possibility of extension. This visa also sets the pathway to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and eventually British citizenship. The application process includes submitting extensive documentation and attending a biometric appointment to provide fingerprints and photographs.
