Partnership
 

With the arrival of Civil Partnership legislation, there is a solution to most partnership immigration questions contained within this website.  Now that UKLGIG has moved it's focus towards asylum, it is increasingly important that our limited resources are properly targeted, and we urge you please to study these pages carefully as a first step. With a little extra time and patience, you are likely to find what you need here.

These pages have a wealth of information about immigration for Unmarried Partners and Civil Partners with many links to the relevant parts of the UKBA website. Some other possible options are outlined should civil partnership seem premature for you, as indeed it may be for many couples.

If after this, you still seem to have an unanswered question, your next step should be to visit the Forum.

Please note: The Monday partnership information line will CEASE after March 28th, 2011, due to the very small number of partnership calls we now receive.



Unmarried Same-Sex Partners:  In the context of this website, unmarried partners are not legal partners, but comprise a specific group in UK immigration law.  The British government also currently interprets "durable relationships" under EU law as being those who qualify under the UK unmarried partners rules.

Civil Partners:  Those who have registered, or intend to register, their partnerships under the terms of the UK Civil Partnership Act 2004.  These are legal partnerships with many of the same rights and obligations as marriage.

Freedom of Movement in Europe: Latest news from Europe on treatment of same sex partners.  Residency requirements in the EU.  Visits to Europe.
