A fiance visa is for a person who intends to marry an eligible partner in the UK and then continue the family immigration process. The couple must show that they have met in person, are in a genuine relationship, are free to marry and intend to marry within the permitted period.
This route is different from a Marriage Visitor visa, which is generally for people who intend to marry in the UK and then leave.
A fiance visa is used where the applicant intends to marry and then apply to stay with their partner in the UK.
Unlike a Marriage Visitor visa, a Fiancé visa is strictly for couples intending to marry in the UK and then remain together long term—so it applies full partner financial, accommodation and English language requirements and permits switching inside the UK within 6 months (no work allowed until partner leave is granted).
We can review fiance route eligibility, prepare relationship and ceremony evidence and advise on switching to the spouse or partner route after marriage.
We help prepare dated notice-of-marriage enquiries, proof of prior divorce/dissolution where applicable and a seamless checklist for switching to Spouse leave immediately after the wedding.
After your ceremony in the UK, you will normally switch to the Partner/Spouse Visa before the 6-month grant expires. Read our family visa evidence guide or contact our team.
