You can get a life partner visa, which is a temporary resindence relative visa. Then after 5 years on this visa you can apply for your permanent residence visa

Sorry I meant to say you can get a spouse visa which is still a temporary residence visa. Once you can show by the correct documentation that you have been together for 5 years, i.e a life partner avidavit and also your marriage certificate then you can you apply for your permanent residence visa
