Fee Waiver for an Extension of the Unmarried Partner Visa 10 Years Route
You can apply for a fee waiver online if you are submitting an application for an extension of an unmarried partner visa under the 10-year route and cannot pay the Home Office UKVI fees for the application. Home Office UKVI decision-makers must consider the full amount payable by an applicant when assessing a fee waiver request. The total amount refers to the combined immigration application fee and Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS). Where an applicant can pay the whole of the immigration fee but none, or only part of the IHS, the immigration fee will be required, and the waiver will be applied to the IHS. If the applicant is unable to pay the fee or the IHS, the Home Office UKVI will waive both. Read More

Valid application requirement: The applicant must submit a valid application in accordance with the requirements of a valid application as set out in Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules.

To succeed in an application for an extension of an unmarried partner visa under the 10-year route, the applicant must meet the requirements of paragraph EX1 of Appendix FM under the Immigration Rules. The requirements of EX1 can be satisfied by showing that either:
