Civil partner Visa

Post by Sadsay » Tue Sep 10, 2019 12:10 am

Hi Guru's

I am sorry if my question sound daft I was wondering about civil partnership visa is it only for same-sex people or is it also applicable to different sex.

If it is applicable to different sex can we apply why this Visa for non EEA member

Check if you can get married or form a civil partnership
You can get married or form a civil partnership in England or Wales if you’re:

16 or over
not already married or in a civil partnership
not closely related
Same-sex couples can get married, form a civil partnership or convert a civil partnership into a marriage in England or Wales.

Opposite-sex couples cannot form a civil partnership in England and Wales.

There are different rules if you want to get married or form a civil partnership:
https://www.gov.uk/marriages-civil-partnerships
Apply as a partner or spouse
What you’ll need to prove

You must be able to prove one of the following:

you’re in a civil partnership or marriage that’s recognised in the UK
you’ve been living together in a relationship for at least 2 years when you apply
you are a fiancé, fiancée or proposed civil partner and will marry or enter into a civil partnership in the UK within 6 months of arriving

In February 2018, the United Kingdom and Scottish governments began reviewing civil partnerships.[3] In June 2018, the Supreme Court ruled that allowing only same-sex couples to enter a civil partnership is incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights.[4] The UK Government later pledged to allow opposite-sex couples in England and Wales to enter into civil partnerships,[5] and legislation enabling this passed the Parliament in March 2019 and went into effect on 26 May 2019.[6] The Secretary of State is required to issue regulations allowing opposite-sex civil partnerships by 31 December 2019.[7] The same reforms will soon be extended to Scotland and Northern Ireland too.
