Is your partner from the Schengen Area?

Do you have a 'long-term relationship'?

According to the government, a 'long-term relationship' meets at least one of these three characteristics

  • You live together for at least 1 year. Or you've lived together for at least 1 year in the past. This may also be in another country.
  • You know each other for at least 2 years. You have regular contact. You've seen each other at least three times in real life. You've seen each other in real life for at least 45 days

You must be able to prove this.
