‘An unmarried partner visa allows a non-UK national to join their unmarried partner in the UK who is either a British citizen or holds Indefinite Leave to Remain, has a settled or pre-settled status or protection status (refugee), or holds stateless status, or has a status under ECAA (Ankara Agreement). Unmarried partners include same-sex couples. To be eligible for this visa, they must demonstrate that they have been in a relationship akin to marriage or civil partnership for at least 2 years. Generally, cohabitation for at least 2 years is considered to be important to meet the relationship requirement earlier, but not anymore.’
