Bringing your loved ones to the UK is life-changing. While the civil partnership visa UK application process can be complex and daunting, we understand you want to start the next chapter in your family life quickly and with minimal disruption and expense.
A civil partnership visa UK allows foreign nationals to come to the UK if they are in a civil partnership with a British citizen or a person with UK settled status, ie someone who is living in the UK lawfully with no time limit on their stay.
To qualify for entry to the UK, you will need to be granted entry clearance prior to your arrival.
If you already hold a UK fiancé visa, work visa, or student visa valid for more than six months, you may be eligible to switch to a civil partner visa.
You can apply for a civil partner visa from overseas or from within the UK. Once the civil partner visa has been granted, you are eligible to work or study in the UK. After a total period of three years in the UK if you meet the residence requirements you may then apply for UK citizenship.
