UK Fiancé(e) Visa

The UK Fiancé(e) Visa allows you to join your partner in the UK so that you can get married or enter a civil partnership here. Once married, you can switch into the Partner Visa route to remain in the UK long-term.

You may be eligible if your partner is:

A British citizen, or

Settled in the UK (holding Indefinite Leave to Remain or settled status), or

Pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme

The Fiancé Visa lasts for 6 months and requires the couple to marry within this period to switch to a Spouse Visa.
