Detailed guidance

Route Equivalence

Existing civil partners can apply in the same way as married couples under the partner route.

For same-sex couples planning a civil partnership ceremony in the UK, immigration requirements follow the same structure as fiancee-route cases.

Civil partnerships are not available in Thailand, so applicants planning this route usually complete the civil partnership process in the UK.

Documents, Evidence and Fees

Applications require proof of relationship together with evidence that financial and accommodation requirements are met.

English proficiency and a Tuberculosis test are required where applicable, and a sponsorship letter is needed as part of the submission package.

Current government charges should be checked on the fees page before filing.
