What you need to know
A UK Unmarried Partner Visa allows you to live together with your British or Settled Unmarried 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.
You and your Unmarried Partner must intend to live together permanently in the UK after you apply.
The sponsor must either be 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 that you meet specific financial conditions.
Before you submit your application for a UK Unmarried Partner Visa, you need to:
- Be able to demonstrate the length of your relationship.
- Have all the specified documents as per the immigration rules
- Meet the minimum income threshold of the financial requirement
A sponsor must be capable of financially supporting their Unmarried Partner and any child dependant(s) without relying on public funds. The amount you need to demonstrate must be based on the following thresholds:
- £18,600 (Unmarried Partner only)
- £22,400 (Unmarried Partner &one child/dependant)
- £24,800 (Unmarried Partner &two dependants)
- £27,200 (Unmarried Partner &three dependants)
- £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.
As a sponsor you must also be able to provide proof of suitable accommodation for your Unmarried Partner and any dependants in accordance with the Housing Act 1988.
Nationals of certain countries must show they are Tuberculosis (TB) free by obtaining a medical certificate from an approved clinic recognised by the Home Office.
There are some exceptions to these rules.
