What is a UK Fiance Visa?

People who are planning to marry a British citizen or permanent resident in the UK may apply for a fiance/fiancee visa.

Fiance/Fiancee Visa Requirements:

The sponsor and the applicant must intend to get married within a six month period.

They must have met each other.

They must intend to live together permanently.

The applicant must be able to support him / herself, or be supported by their partner, without access to public funds.

There must be adequate accommodation in place.
