Partner 820 relationship evidence before living together full time

820/801

Sunday 26 April 2026

My partner and I are preparing an onshore 820 application. We have been together for two years but only started living together full time recently because of work in different cities. We have travel records, messages, joint savings, and statements from friends. What evidence is usually most useful when the shared address history is short?

If work kept you in different cities, explain that directly and include evidence of visits, shared costs, and plans to live together. Gaps are less worrying when they are clearly explained.

Stat decs from people who know both of you can help, but they should add specific details instead of just saying the relationship is genuine.

A timeline helped us make the evidence easier to read. We grouped documents by financial, social, household, and commitment rather than uploading a random pile.
