YOU MAY WONDER... ## Frequently Asked Questions ## Frequently Asked Questions How can I prove that my partner and I are in a ‘genuine and subsisting relationship’? If you’re not married or in a civil partnership, you’ll need to prove that you and your partner have been living together in a relationship for at least two years. In this situation, the following items may be used as proof of your relationship: - Utility bills, bank statements or tenancy agreements that confirm you live at the same address or pay bills together - A letter from your doctor or dentist confirming that you live at the same address The Home Office may accept evidence such as one-off bills (e.g. vet’s fees or home repair costs), voter registration letters, or student finance paperwork. However, it is important to note that UKVI are less likely to grant you a visa based on this evidence. Texts, social media messages, photos and receipts are among the items that are not considered strong evidence and should **not** be relied upon in your application for an Unmarried Partner visa. How much does it cost? The application cost for an Unmarried Partner visa is £1,538 if applying from outside the UK, or £1,048 if applying while in the UK. You may also be liable to pay the healthcare surcharge which costs £1,872 if you’re staying for two years and nine months, and £1,560 if you’re extending to stay for two years and six months. How long can I stay? You can stay in the UK on an Unmarried Partner visa for up to two years and nine months. If you are switching to this visa from another category, or you are applying for an extension, you can stay in the UK for up to two years and six months. Once you’ve been in the UK as a partner for a minimum of five continuous years, you may be eligible to apply for settlement or indefinite leave to remain. These five years exclude any time spent in the UK on another visa, including as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner.
