A Fiance Visa allows a foreign national who is engaged to a citizen or permanent resident of a country to enter that country for the purpose of getting married.
The UK Fiance visa caters to engaged partners of British or Irish citizens, UK-settled individuals, those with pre-settled status, Turkish Businessperson or Worker visa holders, and individuals with refugee or humanitarian protection status. This visa allows entry into the UK for marriage within 6 months. Applications for the Fiancé Visa must originate from outside the UK. Post-marriage, applicants can switch to the Spouse Visa route within the UK, potentially leading to indefinite leave to remain after 5 years.
To be eligible for a UK Fiancé Visa, you must prove that:
Your partner fits one of the specified statuses (British/Irish citizen, UK-settled, pre-settled status holder, Turkish visa holder, refugee, or humanitarian protected individual).
Both partners are over 18 years old.
You have physically met each other.
The relationship is genuine and continuing.
You intend to marry within six months of entering the UK.
Previous relationships are permanently concluded.
Plans to permanently cohabit in the UK are in place.
You can be financially self-sufficient without public funds unless you are meeting the financial requirement through adequate maintenance.
