What Is This Visa
This immigration route, the Bereaved Partner Visa, provides protection and stability for individuals whose relationship has ended due to the death of their partner.
This route is designed to ensure individuals in vulnerable situations are not forced to leave the UK.
Who Can Apply For The Bereaved Partner Visa?
This partner visa route is for individuals whose partner has passed away and who, at the time of their death, their partner was:
- A British citizen
- A person with indefinite leave to remain (ILR) in the UK
- An EEA national with pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme
- A member of the UK Armed Forces
Dependent children can also apply under a bereaved spouse visa. This pathway is also part of the Home Office Immigration Rules.
