Fiancé Visa UK

A UK Fiancé Visa allows you to enter the United Kingdom to marry or enter into a civil partnership with your British or settled partner. This visa is intended for couples who are engaged and plan to live together permanently in the UK after marriage.

As part of the UK family visa routes, fiancé visa applications must meet strict requirements and be supported by clear evidence. At Mowbray Advisory, we provide practical, OISC-regulated advice to help you understand the process and prepare a strong application from the outset.

Who Can Apply for a Fiancé Visa?

You may be eligible for a UK fiancé visa if:

  • You are engaged to a British citizen or a person settled in the UK
  • Your partner holds indefinite leave to remain, refugee status or humanitarian protection
  • You intend to marry or enter a civil partnership within six months of arriving in the UK
  • You plan to live together permanently in the UK after marriage

Fiancé visas are temporary and are designed as a route towards switching to a spouse visa once you are married.

Key Requirements for a Fiancé Visa

To make a successful application, you’ll usually need to demonstrate:

A Genuine Relationship

Evidence that your relationship is real and ongoing, such as communication history, photographs and details of how you met.

Intention to Marry

Proof that you plan to marry or form a civil partnership in the UK within six months, such as venue enquiries or booking confirmations.

Financial Requirement

You must meet the minimum income or savings threshold to show you can support yourselves without public funds.

Accommodation

Suitable accommodation in the UK where you and your partner will live together.

English Language Requirement

You’ll need to show a basic level of English, unless you qualify for an exemption.

Each application is assessed on its own merits, and missing or unclear evidence is a common reason for refusal.

What Happens After Marriage?

A fiancé visa does not allow you to work or study in the UK. After you marry or enter a civil partnership, you must apply to switch to a spouse visa before your fiancé visa expires.

We can advise you on:

  • When to apply to switch visas
  • What evidence you’ll need for the next stage
  • How the fiancé visa fits into your long-term settlement plans
