Unmarried Partner Visa

About Unmarried Partner Visa

The Unmarried Partner Visa is for couples who are not married or in a civil partnership but have lived together in a relationship akin to marriage. To qualify, applicants must usually evidence a period of cohabitation alongside the standard financial, accommodation and language requirements. Proving the genuine nature of an unmarried relationship can be challenging, particularly where shared documents are limited. RakLAW helps you build a clear, credible evidence picture so your application reflects the real depth of your partnership.

Who this is for

  • Long-term partners of British or settled persons
  • Couples who have cohabited but are unmarried
  • Partners switching from other UK immigration routes
  • Those needing help proving genuine cohabitation

How RakLAW helps

  • Reviewing cohabitation evidence and identifying gaps
  • Drafting strong personal and witness statements
  • Preparing the application and financial documentation
  • Challenging refusals through appeal or administrative review
