Fiance Visa UK

With the Fiance Visa, foreigners can come to the UK to marry or form a civil partnership with a British citizen or a permanent resident. Once they get married or become a civil partner, they will switch to the Spouse Visa.

The UK government recently changed the minimum income requirements from £18,600 to £29000. This comes into effect in April 2024 and affects three-quarters of Brits. Get in touch with us now for advice or support.

What is a Fiance Visa UK?

For those who do not hold a British passport, the UK Fiance Visa opens the door to marriage and civil partnerships so that non-EEA citizens can start a new chapter in their lives with a partner already living in the UK. The applicant’s spouse or common law partner must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United Kingdom.

Assuming you intend to wed your fiance during the six months that the visa is valid, a fiance visa is issued. Therefore, the UK Fiance Visa may be an option for you if you plan to go to the UK to start a new life with your spouse who is already there.

When your British Fiance Visa runs out, you won’t be able to stay in the UK any longer without obtaining new immigration paperwork. The quickest and easiest is to change your UK fiance visa to a spouse visa, which allows you to live in the UK for 30 months. There are no limitations on your ability to seek a job or pursue education in the UK if you possess a Spouse Visa.
