What you need to know
A UK Civil Partner Visa allows you to live together with your British partner in the UK for up to 30 months. After the initial 30 months are granted, you would need to apply for an extension of your stay on the premise that certain conditions are met.
To apply to enter the UK, you must in a civil partnership with a British citizen, UK settled person or a person with UK refugee status. The main eligibility criteria include providing proof that you are in a genuine and subsisting relationship and you meet specific financial conditions.
Before you submit your application for a UK Civil Partner Visa, you will need to:
- Meet the minimum income threshold of the financial requirements.
- Have all the specified documentation as set out by the immigration rules.
A sponsor must be capable of financially supporting their civil partner and any child dependant(s) without relying on public funds. The amount you need to demonstrate must be based on the following thresholds:
- £18,600 (civil partner only)
- £22,400 (civil partner & one child/dependant)
- £24,800 (civil partner & two dependants)
- £27,200 (civil partner & three dependants)
- £2,400 for each additional child.
Any applicant over the age of 18 will need to demonstrate their proficiency in the English language by completing the appropriate language test. You do not need to fulfil this requirement if you are a national of a majority English speaking country or have completed a degree taught in English.
As a sponsor you must also be able to provide proof of suitable accommodation for your Civil Partner and any dependants in accordance with the Housing Act 1988.
Nationals of certain countries must show they are Tuberculosis (TB) free by obtaining a medical certificate from an approved clinic recognised by the Home Office.

Can I Apply Without a Solicitor?
UK immigration law is governed by complex legislation, detailed Immigration Rules and strict Home Office guidance. Every visa category has specific requirements that must be satisfied, and even minor errors or omissions can result in an application being delayed or refused.
Seeking specialist legal advice at the outset can significantly reduce the risk of avoidable mistakes. Applicants who prepare and submit their own applications often underestimate the complexity of the Immigration Rules, increasing the risk of refusal and the loss of substantial Home Office fees.

From initial instruction through to final decision, we will prepare your application, advise you on the evidence required, liaise with the Home Office where appropriate and provide comprehensive legal representation throughout your case.
