If your Civil Partner is British or Holds Indefinite Leave To Remain
Your partner may come to the UK with you, or join you if you’re already in the UK, if you:
- Currently live in the United Kingdom.
- If you are returning to the United Kingdom with him/her to live here permanently and to make your home here.
- The relationship may be a heterosexual or a same-sex relationship, but you must not be related by blood.

Civil Partner Visa Requirements
- Any previous marriage or civil partnership that either of you were in has permanently broken down.
- You have both been living together as if you were married (or in a civil partnership) for at least two years; or are in a civil partnership.
- You both have enough money to support yourself -this requires that the UK sponsor earns 18,600 over a specific period of time, or the couple have between them a substantial amount of savings. Our immigration lawyers can assist, by way of a consultation in assessing whether you meet the financial requirements in place. The financial requirements for the Civil Partnership Visa can be proven through a P60 or payslips, or by proof of other finances, such as cash savings, money from a pension or non-work income, for example from property rentals.
- You also need to prove that your relationship is genuine. This is usually proven by showing evidence of contact and living together.
The above terms can seem complex but they are met with careful planning. If you are in a committed relationship, we believe that with time and effort, you will be able to remain in the United Kingdom with your partner.
