Partner visa, need a lawyer in London
Greetings 👋
My name is Alexander, I am your personal manager. Let me help you!

Recently, our team was asked a question: “Girl is a British citizen. I am a Danish citizen.
I wonder if it is possible to apply for a visa if partners have been living together for less than 2 years?”
We wanna share the answer from our specialists:
17.06.2025 10:06:10 If you and your partner have been living together for less than two years, it may be more challenging to qualify for certain types of visas that require proof of a durable relationship, such as the UK Unmarried Partner Visa. However, there are still potential options depending on your circumstances and future plans. 1. **Fiancé(e) Visa (UK)**: If you plan to get married in the UK, you can apply for a Fiancé(e) Visa. This visa allows you to enter the UK with the intention of getting married within six months. 2. **Marriage Visitor Visa (UK)**: If you want to get married in the UK but do not intend to settle there afterward, this short-term visa might be suitable. 3. **Spouse/Partner Visa**: After getting married or entering into a civil partnership, you could apply for a Spouse or Partner Visa if you meet other eligibility criteria. 4. **EU Settlement Scheme (UK)**: As an EU citizen (Danish), if you were living in the UK before December 31, 2020, or have rights under the Withdrawal Agreement, different rules might apply allowing easier access to residency options. 5. **Other Types of Visas**: Depending on work opportunities or studies, other visa categories like work visas or student visas might be applicable. It's important to check specific requirements and consult official government resources or seek advice from an immigration expert who can provide guidance tailored to your situation. Keep in mind that immigration laws and policies can change frequently.
17.06.2025 10:43:15 Yes, you can apply for a UK Partner visa (Spouse or Unmarried Partner), but the requirements differ: Spouse Visa: No minimum cohabitation period required, as long as you are legally married. Unmarried Partner Visa: You must prove you have lived together in a relationship akin to marriage for at least 2 continuous years. Since you are not married and have lived together for less than 2 years, you would not qualify for an Unmarried Partner visa at this time. You may consider getting married to apply under the Spouse route, which has no minimum cohabitation requirement. Legal advice is recommended to explore all options and prepare a strong application. I offer remote support from London if needed.
17.06.2025 11:04:05 To apply for an Unmarried Partner Visa under UK Immigration Rules, you normally need to prove at least 2 years of cohabitation in a relationship similar to marriage. If you’ve been living together for less than 2 years, you likely won’t qualify for this visa category yet. Alternatives may include: Fiancé(e) Visa if you plan to marry within 6 months in the UK. Spouse Visa after marriage, which does not require a 2-year cohabitation period. As a lawyer based in London, I can assess your exact circumstances and help you choose the right visa route. I offer full remote support. Let’s discuss your situation further.
