Type of visa / help please
Hello,
First of all I would like to say hi to all here
This is my first post, I hope Im in right place, if not, Im sorry, please feel free to delete this.
My name is Sanja and im 31 years old. I live in Bosnia and Herzegovina and my nationality is Bosnian. My boyfriend is UK citizen and hes 29 years old. He lives in UK.
We have been in relationship for 5 years now. He visits me in Bosnia I visit him in UK (every time I would get General Visitor Visa). We have never lived together.
Recently, he invited me to come and live with him in UK. All these goverment sites confuse me, so I am not sure what visa i need to apply for. I was looking into "joining partner in UK" visa, but like I said we have never lived together. We are not engaged and we are not getting married at this point. Can anyone help me please?
Thanks in advance

Re: Type of visa / help please
Apart from a student or work visa there is no visa available for you to live permanently in the UK.
Unless you marry your boyfriend you cannot apply for the "settlement/joining partner in UK" visa .
Work visas are very difficult to come by as you need a sponsoring employer; student visas mean you need to enroll in a recognised educational program and have money to fund the course and your first year in the UK.
