Fiance(e) Visa Legal Support, Scotland

The Fiance(e) Visa allows non-UK nationals to enter the UK for the opportunity to marry (or enter into a civil partnership) with their British partner, subject to specific eligibility requirements.

There are several requirements when applying for a Fiance(e) Visa to the UK. These are:

You and your prospective spouse must be 18 years old or over.
The British partner must earn more than £18,600 per year or have enough savings to be able to sponsor you. The minimum financial requirement is higher if they are also sponsoring dependent children.
The non-British partner must not work during the 6 month validity period the visa is granted for.
You must be able to demonstrate that you are involved in a genuine relationship and intend to marry in the UK within the 6 month validity period.
You have to have met face-to-face.
You must have suitable accommodation for you, your spouse and any dependents.

If the Fiance Visa expires before you marry, you may need to leave the UK or apply for an extension.

It is crucial to meet all the UK Fiance Visa requirements, including proving a genuine relationship with your UK-based partner. The UK Fiance Visa application process involves submitting various documents, paying the application fee, and meeting financial requirements.

If you do not marry within six months of entering the UK, this would be considered a breach of the visa.

Once you are married, you can apply for a UK Spouse Visa, transitioning from a Fiance Visa.

UK Fiance Visa Requirements

You do not need to pay the International Health Surcharge when using a Fiance(e) Visa, however, there are still financial requirements for the fiance visa applicant.

The UK government requires a fee of £1538 to process the visa. UK Fiance Visa applicants must ensure they meet all evidential requirements, including showing suitable accommodation and satisfying financial criteria. As the non-British partner is not allowed to work during the six-month visa, the British sponsor must earn at least £18,600, or have savings to support you.

It is crucial to provide sufficient evidence and seek legal advice for a successful fiance visa application. UK Fiance Visa applicants must also prepare for a visa interview, where they will need to present the required documentation and answer questions about their relationship.
