What is Civil Partnership Visa UK?

The Civil Partnership visa, also known as the UK Civil Partner visa, is a type of UK family visa. It is like the Spouse visa and the Unmarried Partner visa.

It lets foreigners settle in the UK with their British or Irish partners, just like these visas do. Eventually, they can ask for permanent settlement via indefinite leave to remain.

In terms of eligibility requirements and permitted activities while in the UK, these visas are very similar to one another.

However, the Civil Partnership visa is only for people who are officially married or in some other kind of relationship, not for people who are in a civil partnership.

With a civil partnership visa, you can stay in the UK for up to 2 years and 9 months. This can then be made longer for two more years and six months.
