Unmarried Visa

In a genuine relationship for two years or more?

The UK Unmarried Partner Visa allows eligible couples to live together in the UK without being married or in a civil partnership. Since January 2024, couples no longer have to prove that they have lived together for two years, but they must still demonstrate a genuine and subsisting relationship.

We can help with:

• Assessing your eligibility for the Unmarried Partner Visa
• Reviewing your relationship history and circumstances
• Preparing relationship evidence covering the required period
• Assessing evidence where you and your partner have lived apart
• Reviewing the financial and accommodation requirements
• Checking your English language evidence
• Preparing and checking your complete application
• Advising on extensions, ILR and the route to settlement

Cohabitation is no longer mandatory, but strong relationship evidence is essential.

What evidence do you need?

Without a marriage or civil partnership certificate, your application needs to clearly demonstrate that your relationship is genuine, subsisting and similar to marriage or civil partnership.

• Joint tenancy agreements or evidence of shared accommodation
• Joint bank statements and financial commitments
• Travel records and evidence of time spent together
• Messages, call records and other communication evidence
• Photographs and evidence of visits
• Evidence of your plans to live together in the UK
• Other evidence showing the history and development of your relationship

If you have not lived together, we can help you build a clear evidence bundle explaining your circumstances and demonstrating the strength of your relationship.
