Proposed Civil Partner Visa
Your future in the UK starts here. Our legal experts simplify the immigration process, ensuring a smooth transition.
What is the Proposed Civil Partner Visa?
The Proposed Civil Partner Visa is a type of family visa that allows individuals to come to the UK to register a civil partnership with a British citizen or someone who is settled in the UK. This visa gives non-UK nationals the legal opportunity to arrive in the UK for the purpose of forming a civil partnership within six months of arrival.
Unlike other UK visas, this route is tailored specifically for those who are not yet civil partners, but intend to become one shortly after arriving. Once the civil partnership is registered, you may then apply to switch into the UK Civil Partner Visa category, which enables you to remain in the UK and eventually apply for indefinite leave to remain.
