UK Prospective Marriage Visa

The UK prospective marriage visa is related to the fiancé/fiancée visa and lets a British citizen or settled person bring their partner to the UK for up to 6 months to marry, without the right to work. The candidate needs to be eligible for a fiancé/e visa in order to have permission to enter the UK to get married. After the marriage, the next step is to apply for a spouse visa (30 months, extendable), and only after 5 years for indefinite leave to remain. Our immigration solicitors in London are able to guide you every step of the process in order to receive the UK prospective marriage visa. Our UK immigration lawyer can help you obtain UK residence card or British citizenship.

The conditions to obtain the UK prospective marriage visa

A couple who wishes to get married in the UK needs to meet the same conditions as the one who applies for a fiancé/fiancée visa, such as:

•     the couple needs to prove they intend to get married in the UK;
•     the couple must demonstrate they have enough funds to support themselves without asking for public funds;
•     the partners need to be at least 18 years old;
•     they intend to live in the UK permanently;
•     they need to show the medical record or other important medical documents;
•     they must prove they have a suitable accommodation or a place to live in after the marriage, that is not overcrowded within the meaning of the Housing Act 1985;
•     they must have met before the intention to get married in the UK.

It is good to know that the child or the children of the proposed fiancée will qualify for admission to enter the UK. Our UK immigration lawyer can offer you the needed information related to this type of visa, and also entire assistance for obtaining a residence permit in UK.

The advantages of receiving the UK prospective marriage visa 

This type of permit allows the person to enter the UK for 6 months to marry; it does not allow work, and settlement is possible only later through the spouse visa. And the most important benefit is that the applicant can switch to a spouse visa, which allows work, but will not have the same rights as a British citizen (for example, no access to public funds), after the marriage formality. The next step is to obtain permanent residence in the country and then apply for British citizenship. Our London immigration lawyer can provide legal advice.
