Fiancé(e) visa

Fiancé(e) visa

British citizens or those who are settled in the UK may wish to be joined by their fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner in order to marry or enter into a civil partnership in the UK.

Main requirements?

In order to enter the UK as a fiancé or proposed civil partner, an applicant must be able to demonstrate that:

  • their partner is a British citizen or settled in the UK;
  • they intend to marry or enter into a civil partnership within 6 months of arriving in the UK;
  • they are in a genuine and subsisting relationship and are both free to marry;
  • they meet the financial requirement; and
  • they meet the required level of English language

Lengths and conditions of stay

Applicants can apply to come to the UK for an initial period of six months. Once their marriage or civil partnership has taken place they will then be able to apply to switch into the spouse and civil partner category from within the UK.

During their stay in the UK as a fiancé or proposed civil partner, an applicant will be unable to work. However, once the applicant has switched to the spouse and civil partnership category, they will have the right to work.
