Marriage, Partnership & Fiancé(e) Visa Services
Fiancée and Marriage Visas fall under the Spouse Visa category in UK immigration, but they serve different purposes. A Fiancée Visa allows you to enter the UK for the purpose of marrying your partner within six months. It is intended for those who plan to live together in the UK after marriage and eventually apply for a full Spouse Visa.
This visa is not the same as a Spouse Visa, which is granted to individuals who are already married or in a civil partnership and allows for a longer stay. However, once married in the UK on a Fiancée Visa, you may switch to the Spouse Visa route.
You should apply for a Marriage Visitor Visa instead if:
- You want to marry or register a civil partnership in the UK,
- You want to give notice of marriage or civil partnership,
- You do not intend to remain or settle in the UK after the ceremony.
Detailed Information
While there are similarities between a Fiancée Visa and a Marriage Visitor Visa, one key difference is that the Fiancée Visa does not require a marriage certificate at the time of application. Instead, it is intended for couples who plan to marry in the UK and remain together after the ceremony.
