I am looking for some advice regarding Visas for the UK. I am looking for advice regarding visas for my boyfriend. I am British, but this is something I know nothing about!

I am a UK citizen and my boyfriend (from the UAE) is looking to move to the UK to be with me. I looked into bringing him to the UK on an unmarried partner visa, but don't think I have enough evidence of us living together out here.

What options do I have with regards to getting him a visa? Will we be able to apply at the British Embassy over here?
Thanks in advance - all your help is much appreciated.
