Marriage and civil partnership are two different things. However, the important thing is whatever you enter into needs to be recognized under UK law.

In any event, if you are married then you do not have an automatic right to a visa. There are a number of requirements that you and your partner would need to meet.

Are you in the UK at the moment? If so, what visa are you on? Do you live together? How long have you lived together? Does he have a job in the UK? Does he earn over 22,400GBP? Have you ever had an issue with UKBA or have you ever been arrested?

If your baby is British the annual income needed will be £18,600. The child won't be included in the financial calculation.

Thank you for the answers

No, I am not in Uk because I tried to get a visa as a general visitor saying that my son has British passport and my partner is British and my visa was refused.

We are in a relationship since 2 years ago.

We haven't any problems with arrests.

He has job.

What type of visa could I get?

Spouse visa if married outside UK, Fiancee visa if wanting to marry inside UK.

No visa without marriage unless you've two years of provable cohabitation which doesnt sound like the case here.

As Wanderer said, you can apply for a fiancee visa so you can marry in the UK or you can marry in your country and then apply for a spouse visa. https://www.gov.uk/join-family-in-uk/overview This link explains the eligibility requirements and links to apply for the visa.

You may also want to use this tool to understand what documents may be needed if you and your partner decide to marry in your home country or outside the UK generally: https://www.gov.uk/marriage-abroad
