Fiancé Visa

FIANCÉ VISA

The Fiancé Visa is a special visa granted to individuals intending to marry or enter into a civil partnership with a UK citizen or someone with indefinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom. Typically issued for 6 months, this visa allows couples to enter the UK to formalize their relationship through marriage or civil partnership.

Couples who are not yet married but plan to live together and legally document their relationship can apply for this visa. The marriage or civil partnership must take place within the visa’s duration. After this step is completed, the applicant can transition to an appropriate visa type to continue living in the UK.

What Does the Fiancé Visa Cover?

  • The right to enter the UK to marry or enter a civil partnership within 6 months.
  • Does not provide the right to work or study until the marriage takes place.
  • Offers the opportunity to transition to a Partner Visa after the marriage.
  • Marriage within the visa duration is mandatory.
  • You must provide evidence that your marriage plans are genuine and sincere.
  • Your partner is expected to meet specified financial requirements.
  • You must have suitable accommodation arrangements in place.
  • You must commit to marrying within the visa duration.
  • You must provide evidence of the genuineness and long-term nature of your relationship.
  • Valid passport or travel document.
  • Documents related to your marriage plans (e.g., ceremony booking confirmation).
  • Supporting documents proving the genuineness of the relationship.
  • Financial documents showing your partner’s income or savings.

  2. Preparing required documents.
  3. Providing biometric information (fingerprints and photograph).
  4. Evaluation and finalization of the application.

What to Know
Before Applying

To achieve a successful outcome, it’s crucial to pay attention to the following points before applying for the Fiancé Visa:

  • Genuine and Planned Marriage Intent Required:
    The visa is granted solely for the purpose of marriage, and you must commit to marrying, not just visiting as a fiancé. Providing a wedding plan and date is advantageous.
  • Financial Sufficiency Requirement:
    Your partner must demonstrate a certain level of annual income or savings. Failure to meet this requirement may lead to rejection.
  • Mandatory Marriage Within Visa Duration:
    The Fiancé Visa covers a 6-month period, and if you do not marry within this time, your right to remain in the UK will end. Avoid Providing Misleading Information: Providing false information about the genuineness of your relationship can jeopardize not only this application but also future applications.

Application Duration
and Recommendations

The visa application process should be planned and executed in a timely manner. To streamline the process and avoid potential issues, consider the following recommendations:

  • Plan Your Wedding Early:
    Apply for the visa at least 2–3 months before your wedding date to avoid potential delays.
  • Ensure Documents Are Complete and Up-to-Date:
    Prepare documents supporting your relationship history and wedding plans in advance.
  • Don’t Forget to Transition to a Partner Visa After Marriage:
    To continue living in the UK after marriage, remember to apply for a Partner Visa.
  • Consider Seeking Professional Support: Obtaining expert advice can help manage the process correctly and reduce potential risks.
