The Civil Partner Visa allows individuals in a legally recognized civil partnership with a British Citizen or settled person to live together in the UK. Whether you are applying for a Civil Partner Visa or an extension, our expert immigration solicitors ensure that your application is complete, accurate, and meets all necessary requirements.
Why Apply for a Civil Partner Visa?
A Civil Partner Visa is essential if you want to live with your partner in the UK. With this visa, you can:
✔ Stay in the UK with your civil partner.
✔ Extend your stay and eventually apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).
✔ Be assured that your application is handled by professionals who understand the complexities of the immigration system.
Eligibility Requirements
To apply for a Civil Partner Visa, you must demonstrate that:
✔ Sponsoring Partner – Your partner is a British Citizen or has settled status in the UK.
✔ Civil Partnership – You are in a legally recognized civil partnership.
✔ Accommodation – You and your partner have acceptable accommodation and intend to live together in the UK.
✔ Minimum Income Requirement – Your partner meets the financial requirement of £29,000 per year.
✔ English Language Requirement – You must meet the required standard of English proficiency.
What is the Minimum Income Requirement?
The sponsoring partner must earn a minimum of £29,000 annually to meet the financial threshold for the visa. If you have dependent children, the income requirement increases.
Will I Need to Attend a Civil Partner Visa Interview?
If there are doubts about the genuineness of your civil partnership, you may be asked to attend an interview. During the interview, you and your partner will be questioned separately about:
✔ How you met.
✔ Your relationship history.
✔ Your future plans together.
Preparation is crucial! Our expert solicitors at JNS Solicitors will assist you in preparing for the interview to ensure consistency and confidence in your responses.
