Marriage Visitor Visa

About Marriage Visitor Visa

The Marriage Visitor Visa is for couples who want to come to the UK to marry or register a civil partnership and then leave again at the end of the visit. It is not a route to settle in the UK; if you plan to live here after the ceremony, a different family route will be needed. You must show your relationship is genuine, that arrangements for the ceremony are in place and that you can support yourselves during the stay. RakLAW Solicitors guide couples through every step.

Who this is for

  • Couples planning a wedding or civil partnership in the UK
  • Overseas partners of UK-based fiance(e)s
  • Couples returning home after the UK ceremony
  • Families arranging cultural or religious ceremonies in the UK

How RakLAW helps

  • Confirm the Marriage Visitor route fits your plans
  • Prepare relationship and ceremony evidence carefully
  • Liaise with venues and registrars where helpful
  • Advise on next steps if you later wish to settle
