Fiancé(e)s Visa

Build Your Future Together in the UK


The UK Fiancé(e)s Visa is designed for individuals who wish to marry their partner in the UK. If you are engaged to a British citizen or someone settled in the UK, this visa allows you to enter the UK for the purpose of marriage and eventually settle there. Our expert team can guide you through the application process to help make your dreams a reality.

What is a UK Fiancé(e)s Visa?

A Fiancé(e)s Visa allows individuals to enter the UK to marry their partner, who is either a British citizen or someone settled in the UK (a person with Indefinite Leave to Remain or Settled Status). You can stay in the UK for up to 6 months, during which time you are required to marry your partner. After marriage, you can apply for a Spouse Visa to continue living in the UK.


This visa is an essential step for couples who are planning a future together but need to be in the UK for their marriage.


Eligibility Criteria

To apply for a Fiancé(e)s Visa, both you and your partner must meet specific requirements:


  • Your Relationship:
    You must be engaged to a British citizen or someone with settled status in the UK. You both need to provide evidence of your intention to marry within the 6-month validity of the visa. This could include engagement photos, messages, and wedding plans.


  • Proof of Accommodation:
    You must have a place to live in the UK, whether it is with your partner or in a rented property. You’ll need to provide evidence of this accommodation as part of your application.


  • Financial Requirement:
    Your partner must meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor your visa. They must earn at least £18,600 per year. Alternatively, savings can be used to meet this requirement. The exact amount of savings depends on the income shortfall, if any.


  • English Language Requirement:
    You must be able to demonstrate basic knowledge of the English language, typically through an approved English language test or by having a degree taught in English.


  • Intention to Marry:
    You must plan to marry within 6 months of entering the UK. You must provide a confirmed date or plan to marry within this time frame    .


How Long Can I Stay on a Fiancé(e)s Visa?

  • A Fiancé(e)s Visa allows you to stay in the UK for up to 6 months.


  • During this time, you are expected to get married. After your marriage, you can apply for a Spouse Visa to continue living in the UK and work towards permanent settlement.
