If you are married to a British citizen or a person with settled status, the Spouse Visa allows you to enter or remain in the UK. You must prove a genuine relationship, meet financial requirements (£29,000 income threshold), and show English language ability. This visa typically leads to permanent settlement after five years.

The Civil Partner Visa is for those in a registered civil partnership. Similar to the Spouse Visa, it requires proof of a genuine relationship, financial independence, and adequate accommodation. It allows a stay of 2.5 years initially, with the right to work and study in the UK.
