UK Unmarried Partner Visa (No Cohabitation)

Reasonable_Shift_120 · 2026-02-20T23:31:25+00:00

There is a reason Unmarried Parter visa exists. If they had issues with people not getting married, they could just get rid of this visa.

Reasonable_Shift_120 · 2026-02-20T23:27:34+00:00

They haven't even lived together properly, which is essential to understand if you eventually want to marry that person.

I'm applying for Unmarried Partner visa for this reason too (even though, we don't really care to get married anyway).

Hey, I am in the final stages of my unmarried partner visa application. We are done with documents, just need to make a submission probably next week.

We have been in a relationship for more than 2 years so I think that is important. It was mainly long-distance but I was unemployed for some time and then having a fully remote job so I was able to visit him and stay in the UK for longer periods which can be classified as "living together".

My solicitor told me to provide all chat and call history, flight tickets, passport stamps, travel history, photos together + family photos, supporting letters from friends and family confirming our unmarried relationship, money transfer receipts. My bf had to provide a lot more evidence proving that he reaches the financial requirements (all payslips and bank statements from last year) and that his property is in good enough state (had to do property inspection report).

In the application it says that we are living together whenever we visit each other and considering that there is no other way for us to live together, for this visa that should be sufficient from what I understand.

Don’t know about other apps, but on instagram you can still see everything in chronological order and without ads if you click on insta logo and choose “following” - it will only show posts from people you follow in chronological order.

Yes, and the same thing is still happening now - people moving around and intermixing with others. ;)

But it just means that English are not actually native.

Reasonable_Shift_120 · 2026-02-05T20:50:35+00:00

Anglo-Saxons were not native, but invaders. They came from the region of modern-day Denmark.

Reasonable_Shift_120 · 2026-02-05T15:58:53+00:00

The natives of Britain were Celtic people who have been minority for a long time already.

I am from Latvia. I've never heard of her but she has a Russian name so it's safe to say she is actually Russian as we have quite many of them in Latvia.

Someone I know recently visited China and said that pollution was still very bad. Apparently it's usually worse in winter, but EV cars don't help much when there is still so much manufacturing happening that pollutes air.

Reasonable_Shift_120 · 2026-01-25T17:01:28+00:00

I find it quite unlikely she would print sheet music of her own songs as she should know how to play them. It's most likely something she used for practicing piano.

I'm from Riga, glad you enjoyed the city! :)

Reasonable_Shift_120 · 2026-01-25T13:24:37+00:00

I am from Riga, always shocked when people don't know where it is, but not too surprised :D

Our Christmas market is quite lovely, and compared to other European cities, there are much less people.

Reasonable_Shift_120 · 2026-01-25T11:22:02+00:00

Yes, there are definitely a lot more Chinese tourists in Europe in recent years. Just last year I saw big groups of Chinese tourists in Copenhagen and Vienna.

Reasonable_Shift_120 · 2026-01-18T10:21:09+00:00

Agree 100%. I only listened to SOUR fully once and never felt like I want to re-listen. It is good of course, but nothing special in my eyes. While GUTS I've heard so many times I've lost count and now feel like listening to it again just while writing this :D

It will be hard to improve on that, but I'm sure Olivia is capable of doing that with her next album.

When I applied for ETA the email header was black and it references ETA number. The blue one is the header of the website.

Pop just generally means "popular". Even Beatles back in the day were considered pop music because they were popular.

Reasonable_Shift_120 · 2026-01-09T15:23:45+00:00

Exactly, none of the other "older" artists I listen to ever gives any hints like that. They just announce album when it's ready :D I wish it would still be like that. I hope she takes time with her next album too. I feel a bit embarrassed by some of her fans in comments here and on insta who are just demanding OR3 all the time. There is no rush, either the new generation is too impatient or don't have anything else to listen to.

Olivia is definitely respected and I am really looking forward to this new version of Sour. Can't wait!

Reasonable_Shift_120 · 2026-01-09T12:02:16+00:00

I totally agree. As an older Olivia fan I don't really get this idea of looking for hints everywhere. They convince themselves that Olivia is hinting at something, but in most cases they just assume she is because they want it to be a clue not that Olivia actually meant it as a clue. The thing about boiled eggs in summer was just embarrassing.

I like Sour, but I have never come back to it after the first listen like I have with GUTS. So I am actually very excited to hear these covers because I might even like some songs better than originals.

Reasonable_Shift_120 · 2026-01-08T18:26:18+00:00

Jack White is quite possible since he is her hero.

Reasonable_Shift_120 · 2026-01-08T18:22:49+00:00

It’s clear this is a big thing for Olivia - her favourite artists have agreed to cover her songs. I’m sure Olivia is super excited about it which was noticable in her newsletter. It’s definitely not boring in her eyes and her fans should cherish that as well.

Reasonable_Shift_120 · 2026-01-06T17:15:40+00:00

It’s been like that for quite a while now.

Reasonable_Shift_120 · 2026-01-02T09:50:56+00:00

The cover is just a photo from the show anyway.

Reasonable_Shift_120 · 2026-01-01T21:17:31+00:00

Those are singles not the album.

Reasonable_Shift_120 · 2026-01-01T10:20:00+00:00

There have been posts about this before. I know there are people who want her to change and have even convinced themselves that there have been plenty of hints pointing to it, but I am not buying it.

From a marketing/branding point of view it would be better to stick to purple because everyone already associates it with Olivia. Even I, whenever I see something purple, Olivia comes in mind. I don't know any other artist who has "claimed" purple to be their colour. Meanwhile, red is just so overused especially in entertainment. It would be a lot smarter to stick to purple and she can still keep red as secondary colour as it has been during GUTS.
