UK Marriage visa

The Marriage or Civil Partnership Visit visa caters to those wishing to travel to the UK to get married, enter into a civil partnership, or give notice of such events.

​This visa does not allow for permanent settlement in the UK, and all applicants must submit individual applications, even if they are part of a group.

​This visa is part of the UK Visitor visas.

What is the UK Marriage visa?

If you intend to visit the UK to marry or enter a civil partnership, you must apply for a Marriage Visitor visa.

​Upon arrival in the UK, a visitor aiming to marry, register a civil partnership, or give notice of this must possess a valid visa endorsed for this purpose, including the name of their fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner.

​The Marriage Visitor visa is specifically designed for individuals who wish to marry or register a civil partnership in the UK with someone who is not settled in the UK, meaning they do not have indefinite leave to remain and are not British citizens.

​It is not possible to marry if you have entered the UK on a standard visitor visa.
