What you need to know
A UK Civil Partner Visa allows you to live together with your British partner in the UK for up to 30 months. After the initial 30 months are granted, you would need to apply for an extension of your stay on the premise that certain conditions are met.
To apply to enter the UK, you must in a civil partnership with a British citizen, UK settled person or a person with UK refugee status. The main eligibility criteria include providing proof that you are in a genuine and subsisting relationship and you meet specific financial conditions.

- £2,400 for each additional child.
Any applicant over the age of 18 will need to demonstrate their proficiency in the English language by completing the appropriate language test. You do not need to fulfil this requirement if you are a national of a majority English speaking country or have completed a degree taught in English.
