Proposed Marriage / Civil Partners

If you are planning to travel to the United Kingdom to get married or register a civil partnership with someone already settled here and you plan to stay in the country afterwards, you will need fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner entry clearance.  To gain these types of entry clearance, both parties must be over 21 years of age.

You must apply for your entry clearance at a British diplomatic post before traveling in the country where you normally live.

You will need to show evidence that you plan to enter into a marriage or civil partnership during the period for which you have been granted permission to stay (this will normally be six months).
