Extension Of Same Sex Partner Visa 5 Years Route

What Is the Same-Sex Partner Visa?

A same-sex partner visa allows non-UK nationals in a genuine and subsisting relationship with a British citizen, a person with indefinite leave to remain (ILR), or someone granted refugee status or humanitarian protection in the UK to live together in the UK.

If granted under the 5-year route, the initial visa is valid for 30 months (2.5 years). Before completing five years of continuous residence, applicants must apply for an extension. After completing five years on this route, you may become eligible to apply for indefinite leave to remain (ILR), provided all requirements continue to be met.
