The Civil Partnership visa (or UK Civil Partner visa) is a type of UK Family visa, similar to the Spouse visa and Unmarried Partner visa.
Like these visas, it allows foreign nationals the opportunity to settle in the UK with their British or Irish partners, with a view to eventually applying for permanent settlement through indefinite leave to remain.
These visas share a great deal of similarities, including what you need to do to become eligible, and what it allows you to do while in the UK.
However, the Civil Partnership visa is specifically aimed at couples who are in a legally binding civil partnership, rather than a marriage or any other form of relationship.
Civil Partnership visas allow you to stay in the UK for an initial 2 years and 9 months. This can then be extended for another 2 years and 6 months.
