What is a UK Fiancé(e) visa?

The Fiancé(e) visa is designed to enable non-EEA nationals to enter the UK to marry/enter a civil partnership with their UK-based partner and to begin a new life here. If you intend to relocate to the UK to begin a new life with your UK-based partner, you could be eligible for the UK Fiancé(e) visa. The applicant’s partner must be either a UK citizen or a person with settled status in the country.

Fiancé(e) Visas last for 6 months, and they are granted under the assumption that you will marry your partner within the validity period of the visa.
