What options are available if my partner visa is close to expiry and our relationship circumstances have changed since the initial application?

20.01.2026 13:56:52 If your partner visa is close to expiry and your relationship circumstances have changed, you may have a few options. First, you can consider applying for an extension of your partner visa if you are still eligible. This may require demonstrating that you are still in a genuine relationship. Alternatively, if you are no longer in a relationship, you might be able to switch to another type of visa if you qualify, such as a work visa or a study visa. It is advisable to consult with an immigration lawyer to explore your options and understand the implications of your change in circumstances.

20.01.2026 13:57:00 From a legal perspective under UK immigration law, if your partner visa is nearing expiry and your relationship circumstances have changed, several options may be available depending on the specifics. If the relationship has ended, you might not qualify for an extension on partner grounds, but you could explore switching to another visa category, such as a skilled worker visa, student visa, or applying for indefinite leave to remain if you meet criteria like having a UK-born child or facing domestic violence (under the Domestic Violence Rule). If the relationship is ongoing but circumstances have altered (e.g., cohabitation changes), you may still apply for an extension by providing updated evidence. It's crucial to act before expiry to avoid overstaying. For personalized advice, consult a qualified immigration lawyer in London, as individual cases vary and this is not formal legal advice.

20.01.2026 14:05:23 When a partner visa is nearing expiry and relationship circumstances have changed, the available options depend on the nature and timing of those changes. If the relationship is ongoing but has evolved (for example, separation without divorce, reconciliation after a period apart, or a change in living arrangements), it may still be possible to apply for an extension, provided you can evidence that the relationship remains genuine and subsisting. Where the relationship has permanently broken down, alternative routes should be considered urgently, such as switching into a work, student, or other eligible visa category from within the UK, if permitted. In some cases, human rights grounds may also be relevant. It is crucial to address the change transparently, explain it clearly in a cover letter, and submit supporting evidence, as failing to disclose changes can seriously affect future applications.

20.01.2026 14:22:27 If your partner visa is close to expiry and your circumstances are no longer the same as at the time of the original application, early strategic planning is essential. The Home Office will assess your current situation, not past intentions, so you must decide whether an extension under the partner route remains legally viable. If the relationship has ended or no longer meets the visa requirements, remaining on the same route can carry a high refusal risk. Depending on your immigration history, you may be able to switch to another visa type, leave the UK and apply from abroad, or rely on exceptional or private life grounds. Each option carries different risks and deadlines, so a clear explanation of what has changed, supported by evidence and timely action before expiry, is key to protecting your status.
