Here's my experience getting approved for the Unmarried UK visa (sometimes referred to the Family Visa as a Partner, or a Partnership Visa!) Whatever you like to call it, this Unmarried visa is tricky to apply for, so I hope these tips and tricks can help you with your visa application!
One thing that gets a bit confusing: there's different rules depending on whether you're applying for this visa OUTSIDE of the UK, or you're in the UK on another visa but switching to this for. For me, I was already in the UK on a Youth Mobility Scheme visa and switched to the Unmarried Partner visa.

Am i stupid? How am i supposed to live with my partner if he lives in another country? I want to have a visa so i can live with him? no?

@introvertedexpat Год назад

You're not stupid! The UK makes it really hard. You need to prove that you're in a real, common law-type relationship in order to be approved for the Unmarried Visa - which means living together for 2 years. But from my understanding, it doesn't need to be in the UK and it doesn't need to be 2 years continuously. If you're serious about the visa, I would speak with a lawyer to see what they can do.

Hi 😊 Would you be able to advice what chances do we have with unmarried partner visa- we meet all the requirements except for cohabitation where we officially have 22 months living together however we have lived together in a bills included student accomodation where the only proof we would get for that is the landlords letter. The rest of 22 months we have all the proof for and correspondednces more than 6 each. Please help.

Hello, I would like to ask what type of Visa Application I need for Unmarried (Same Sex) Dependent Visa? I'm currently doing DIY application

@LiliaNicoleBautista 9 месяцев назад

Hi there! This video was helpful. Thank you. In terms of your utility bills as proof of cohabiting, did they require a certain level of verification or did you just save the utility bill as a PDF?

@introvertedexpat 9 месяцев назад

I just saved any relevant bills, statements, etc from my computer as a PDF ☺️

I'll be going down this same path in less than a month. Also a Canadian expat! 🇨🇦 How close to the date of application was your BRP expiry date? Really trying not to shoot myself in the foot and apply too early and have myself just short of those two years of cohabitation.

@introvertedexpat Год назад

Hey Kali! I think my unmarried application was submitted about a month before my Youth Mobility was due to expire. It’s a bit awkward because you need the full 2 years together to be eligible, but you can’t wait until the previous visa expires. I think where so many people do this route, the UK Gov understands that you might have been together like, 22.5 months instead of the full 24. All the best with your application!

@kayleighrose5214 Год назад

Hey, I am also applying with my partner who's youth mobility visa runs out in December (I am a british citizen and he is Australian) I had it in my head that you had to have 6 months remaining on your visa when you applied but is that totally wrong?? Maybe I have read that the visa has to have been granted for over 6 months!!

@introvertedexpat Год назад

Hey! sorry just seen this - I've not heard of needed 6 months left on your visa, I applied when I had about a month left on my Youth Mobility

@discoverystudio3998 Год назад

I saw your video very first time today. If you don't mind, please confirm are you married?

@jeyanratilla4567 3 месяца назад

What if you can't live together or haven't lived together but you've been together for longer than 2 years?

@introvertedexpat 3 месяца назад

If you don't live at the same address, I think you have to supply twice the amount of documents and there should be a section where you can explain why you aren't living together. But you'd need to be able to show through documents and perhaps statements from friends/family that you are a serious commonlaw-type relationship

@desmondleach1915 3 месяца назад

You no longer have to co-habit for minimum of 2 years. It is acceptable to have been in a long term relationship of at least 2 years. Proof of this would been on-going communications between the couple, financial support, evidence of meeting your partner such as holidays together etc. Other rules apply such as financial requirements. The visa is not cheap at over £1800 but lasts for 31 months and can be converted before expiry. Application takes up to 6 months to process. Hope this helps. I was researching this subject today to find out how to bring my partner to UK as she lives outside Europe and I live in UK
