UK Fiancé Visa 👇

🏢 1. What It Is The Fiancé Visa is a short-term entry clearance visa that allows an individual to come to the UK for the specific purpose of marrying or entering into a civil partnership with their British or settled partner.

This visa is granted for a maximum period of six months. During this time, the couple must get married. It is crucial to understand that this visa does not permit work. After the marriage, the applicant must apply to switch to a Spouse Visa from within the UK to remain long-term.

📜 2. Who Can Apply This visa is for individuals who are engaged to be married to a person who is a British citizen or holds settled status (Indefinite Leave to Remain) in the UK. Applicants must:

• Be in a genuine and subsisting relationship with their UK-based partner.
• Genuinely intend to marry or enter into a civil partnership within the six-month validity period of the visa.
• Intend to live together permanently in the UK after they are married.
• Have met their partner in person.
•  

🔑 3. Key Requirements The requirements for a Fiancé Visa are almost identical to those for a Spouse Visa, as the applicant is expected to meet the conditions for the subsequent long-term stay. The key criteria are:

• Intention to Marry: Applicants must provide evidence of their freedom and intention to marry within six months (e.g., booking confirmations for a wedding venue or registrar).
• Financial Requirement: The UK-based partner (sponsor) must meet the stringent minimum income threshold of £29,000 per year through employment, savings, or other specified means.
• English Language Requirement: The applicant must prove their English language ability by passing a test at a minimum of CEFR Level A1 in speaking and listening.
• Adequate Accommodation: The couple must have suitable accommodation in the UK for themselves without recourse to public funds.
