Family (Civil Partner) Visa

Immigration & Visa Services

Overview

If you want to join your civil partner in the UK and you are not within the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, you will need a ‘Family of a Settled Person’ visa.

Immigration & Visa Services

First, you will need to show that your partner is:

a British citizen
has settled in the UK
has asylum or humanitarian protection in the UK

You must then meet the eligibility requirements and prove that you and your civil partner are 18 or over and in a genuine partnership. You will also have to meet the financial requirements for yourself and for any child or children that you have. Our immigration experts will be able to tell you exactly how much that is.

To qualify for this visa, you must also prove:

your civil partnership is genuine and recognised in the UK
you intend to continue living with your civil partner in the UK after you apply
you and your civil partner and any children will have an adequate place to live in the UK
you have a good knowledge of English
