Unmarried or Same-Sex Partner
Quick Guide
This category allows you to join your unmarried partner or same-sex partner, who is present and settled in the UK.
The main requirements for this category are:
- any previous marriage or civil partnership (or similar relationship) by either partner has permanently broken down
- you are not involved in a consanguineous relationship with one another
- you have been living together in a relationship akin to marriage or civil partnership for 2 years or more
- both you and your partner need to be at least 21
- you must be able to support yourselves and any dependants entirely without recourse to public funds
- you must have suitable accommodation
Settlement
The UKBA will initially issue you with a 2 year visa. If you are still partners and intend to live together after the two years, you can apply to remain in the UK indefinitely.
