About The Fiancé Visa
The Fiancé Visa, also known as the Family Visa (as a fiancé, fiancée, or proposed civil partner), will be granted for 6 months. You will have to get married within this time, then switch to a Spouse Visa which would enable you a longer period of stay and the ability to work thereafter.
Fiancé Visa Requirements
To successfully apply for a Fiancé Visa, you must meet certain requirements. These include general requirements, financial requirements, and proof of a legitimate relationship with the genuine intention to marry or become a civil partner within the 6 months of stay.
General requirements
As a general requirement, you must be able to prove that you can speak English at a proficient level. You will need to meet or exceed level A1 on the CEFR scale for your first visa application, choosing amongst a list of approved English language tests.
You must also prove that your relationship with your intended spouse is legitimate, that you have the resources to financially support yourself (and any dependants), and intend to live together in the UK in suitable accommodation.
Financial requirements
To be granted access to the UK to marry or become a civil partner through the Fiancé Visa, you must be able to prove that you can support yourself (and any children; who are not British or Irish citizens, do not have pre-settled status or are not permanently settled in the UK. If your children are citizens of the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland you may also be exempt from proving you have extra money) financially. Between you and your proposed partner, you must ensure that you meet the following financial requirements depending on your situation:
- Minimum £18,600 per year if you’re applying only for yourself
- An additional £3,800 per year for your first child
- An additional £2,400 per year for each additional child after your first child
There are various ways to prove you meet the financial requirements. You can do so through proof of income, savings, pension money, or money through dividends such as rental property. If you would like guidance on this, don’t hesitate to contact our team.
