The simple way to obtain a UK spouse or partner visa
A British citizen or a UK resident with the right to live and work in the UK may seek to bring their partner or spouse to the country. Visas are available for persons who are married to (or in a relationship with) a British citizen, an EU national, or a non-EU national.
Visa for a settled person's family
These visas are formally known as "family of a settled person" visas, and they make it reasonably straightforward for British nationals' partners or wives to join them in the UK. There are a variety of partnerships that qualify in this aspect, so don't be discouraged from exploring your alternatives because your relationship is unconventional.
You can work in the UK without limits if you have a spouse or partner visa.
You can apply for this visa if you are married to a British citizen or someone with the right to reside and work in the UK (i.e. a person who holds a valid visa, Indefinite Leave to Remain [ILR] or right of abode).
You can initially reside and work in the UK for two and a half years, and you can exit and re-enter the nation many times. You can seek to extend your stay in the UK for another two and a half years at the conclusion of the two and a half years.
You may be eligible to apply for ILR after living in the UK for a total of five years.
You and your spouse must meet the following requirements in order to apply for the visa:
Have you met? (not just online)
Be legally wedded to one another and intend to live together indefinitely
Check to see if the British citizen meets the financial requirements.
You can also apply as a dependent (spouse or partner) in the following situations:
You are married to or in a long-term relationship with someone who has British ancestry.
You are married to or in a long-term relationship with someone in the United Kingdom as a result of Tier 4 immigration.
You are married to or in a long-term relationship with a work permit holder.
You are married to or in a long-term relationship with someone in the UK under Tier 1 immigration rules.
These applications must be submitted from your country of origin or residence. If you are in the UK on a visa other than a visit visa, you can apply for a dependant or spouse visa.
Unmarried partner visa to the United Kingdom
If you are in a long-term relationship with a British citizen or someone with the right to reside and work in the UK, you may apply for this visa. You and your partner must be able to demonstrate that you have been living together in a marriage-like relationship for at least two years. It is possible that the relationship be heterosexual or same-sex.
The visa allows you to work freely in the United Kingdom. To apply for it, you must do the following:
You must be able to support yourself and any dependents without relying on public funds.
Do you intend to live with your partner indefinitely?
The unmarried partner visa, like the marriage visa, is originally granted for two and a half years, with an extension application required. You may apply for ILR at the end of this period.
