The partner route allows a partner of either a British citizen or someone settled in the UK (i.e. someone who has Indefinite Leave to Remain) to live and work in the UK. Partners of those who have refugee status or humanitarian protection in the UK may also be able to apply.
In all cases you and your partner must be 18 years of age or older.
