Salam Immigration for the UK Unmarried Partner Visa

Choosing the right route matters. The UK Unmarried Partner Visa — also called the de facto or living-together visa is for couples in a relationship similar to marriage or civil partnership who want to live together in the UK without marrying first. Our immigration solicitors handle the whole process, so nothing is left to guesswork.

The Home Office expects clear evidence that your relationship is genuine, ongoing and long-term. We help you build that case properly, from proof of your relationship and time together to meeting the financial, accommodation and English language requirements, and we keep you updated at every stage.

Whether you’re applying for the first time, extending your stay, or reapplying after a refusal, our team gives you honest, practical advice and a clear plan. Fixed fees mean you always know exactly where you stand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a UK Unmarried Partner Visa?

It lets the unmarried partner of a British citizen or someone settled in the UK live here, provided you’re in a genuine relationship similar to marriage or civil partnership. It’s also known as the de facto or living-together visa.

Who is eligible for an unmarried partner visa?

Both partners must be over 18 and in a genuine, ongoing relationship akin to marriage for at least two years. Your partner must be a British citizen or settled in the UK, you must intend to live together permanently, and you’ll need to meet the financial, accommodation and English language requirements.

How is it different from a fiancé or spouse visa?

A fiancé visa is for couples planning to marry in the UK within six months and doesn’t allow work. A spouse visa is for married couples. The unmarried partner visa is for committed, long-term couples who aren’t married — and it does allow you to work.

Do we need to have lived together?

You’ll need to show a genuine relationship similar to marriage for at least two years. We’ll advise you on exactly which documents best demonstrate this for your situation.

Can I work on an unmarried partner visa?

Yes. Unlike the fiancé visa, the unmarried partner visa allows you to work and study in the UK.

How long does the visa last?

It’s usually granted for around 30 months if you apply from inside the UK, or 33 months from outside, with a route to extend and eventually apply for settlement (ILR).

What documents will I need?

Evidence of your relationship and time together, proof you meet the financial requirement, accommodation details, valid passports, and proof of your intention to live together in the UK. We’ll give you a tailored checklist.

What if my partner visa was refused?

We review the refusal, identify what went wrong, and help you build a stronger reapplication or appeal. Speak to us before you reapply.

How long does the application take?

Processing times vary depending on where you apply and current Home Office timescales. We’ll give you a realistic estimate for your case at your consultation.
