Civil Partner Visa

If you are in a civil partnership with a British citizen or a settled UK resident, you may be eligible for the UK Civil Partner Visa under the 5-Year Route. This visa allows you to live in the UK with your partner and enjoy the same legal rights as married couples.

Civil Partner Visa Applications & Legal Support

The UK Civil Partner Visa enables non-UK partners in a legally recognised civil partnership to join or remain with their partner in the UK. This visa is typically granted for 30 months and can lead to settlement (Indefinite Leave to Remain).

Our experienced immigration solicitors provide full legal support, guiding you through every stage of the application process to ensure your case meets all Home Office requirements.

Eligibility Requirements & Documentation

To qualify for a Civil Partner Visa, you must meet strict immigration criteria. You must prove that your civil partnership is genuine and legally recognised, and that you meet financial and accommodation requirements.

We assist you in preparing all required documentation, including:

  • Civil partnership certificate or legal proof of partnership
  • Evidence of a genuine and subsisting relationship
  • Financial documents meeting the minimum income threshold
  • Proof of suitable accommodation in the UK
  • English language requirement evidence (if applicable)

Our legal team ensures your documents are accurate, complete, and fully compliant with UK immigration rules.

Application Process & Legal Representation

Applying for a Civil Partner Visa requires careful preparation and attention to detail. Errors or incomplete applications can result in delays or refusals.

  • Detailed eligibility assessment
  • Preparation and submission of your visa application
  • Drafting strong legal representations
  • Reviewing all supporting evidence
  • Advising on complex cases or previous refusals

Visa Extensions & Settlement (ILR)

The Civil Partner Visa is initially granted for 30 months and can be extended. After completing five years in the UK, you may be eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).

Our solicitors assist with:

  • Civil Partner Visa extensions
  • ILR applications
  • Continuous residence requirements
  • Ongoing compliance with immigration rules

We support you throughout your journey to permanent settlement in the UK.
