    Hello everybody,

    I am new to this forum.
    And I need help with my questions please.
    I am of French Nationality living in London uk since 1996, and my future partner is in Nepal.
    I want to bring him here under a General visitor visa and then marry him.
    Do I need a Certificate of Approval, I read it does not apply to member of E.E.A.
    So, I am confused.
    Also, I heard that once he is here I can switch from Visitor visa to Marriage visa?
    Is it true?
    All we want is be together!!
    :rolleyes:
    Any advices of Tips is more than welcome.
    Thanks
    Shama

    The ILR UK visa service is a British immigration option, which provides Indefinite Leave to Remain in Britain, commonly known as permanent UK residency

    Sorry I used the wrong term. Being an EEA citizen, it would be called Permanent Residence in your case.

    In either case, the best option would be to apply for Fiance visa since you are 'settled' in the UK for immigration purposes. Once married, you can then apply for EEA2 using your EU nationality instead of the UK immigration status.

    Good luck !

    Hello Yousafzai,

    First thank you for your reply.
    I posted regarding General tourist visa.
    You wrote better to bring him under a Fiance visa to Uk and then to marry.
    My question is for that option, do I need to go to nepal his country to marry him, or do I do that once he comes here as a visitor?
    You see right now I am very confused and feeling hopeless and down really, as I am looking at the best option to bring him here in London uk.
    Can we switch visa once he is here?
    I was told yes, but need your opinion too?
    Sukria my Friend
    God bless

    For Fiance visa you do not need to go to his home country. The very purpose of this visa is to allow him travel to UK to get married. Once you are married, he can then apply for EEA2.

    Good luck
