UK Unmarried Partner Visa
If you are in a durable relationship with a British Citizen or a UK Permanent Resident (PR) holder, have co-habited for a minimum of two consecutive years and have amalgamated your finances to a significant degree, you will be eligible to apply for a UK Unmarried Partner Visa entitling you and your family to move to the UK. Your initial visa will be valid for 2 ½ years.
UK Unmarried Partner Visa Requirements
The four main requirements you need to satisfy to secure a UK Unmarried Partner Visa are:
Accommodation – show that you have adequate accommodation available for you and your sponsor upon your arrival in the UK and filing a Housing Evaluation Report in support of your application.
English Language – demonstrate proficiency in the English language.
Maintenance – demonstrate you have an annual income of £18,600 or £62,500 in cash savings.
Relationship – demonstrate that you and your sponsor are in a genuine relationship.
It is worth noting that most refusals are based on failing to show that the Sponsor meets the maintenance requirements in the specified format.
Fiancée Visa/Marriage Visitor Visa
If you are engaged to be married to a British citizen or Permanent Resident and wish to get married in the UK then you would require a fiancée/marriage visitor visa.
If successful, this visa will be valid for 6 months. Even if you are from a visa-exempt country you would still require this visa in order to get married in the UK. You must intend to marry during your visit to the UK and must demonstrate that you intend to leave the UK before the expiry of your visa.
