For a UK family visa, must we have lived together 2 years before the application date, or 2 years before the visa validity date?

score:2

Accepted answer

According to the official website, it is the application date that counts however, the requirement is civil partnership OR marriage OR 2 years living together.

The "easiest" alternative for you would be entering a civil partnership / marrying where you live and getting the appropriate Apostilles and translations (if applicable) of the certificate as proof of relationship instead of trying to prove 2 years of living together.

I don't know where you both live, so you can check here if there are any additional requirements to get the partnership / marriage recognized in the UK

You only need the paper, so there is no need for a whole ceremony / reception and etc...
