The Fiancé(e) or Proposed Civil Partner visa is for engaged partners of British citizens or persons settled in the UK who wish to marry or enter into a civil partnership within 6 months of arriving in the UK. Your visa will be granted for 6 months.

Fiancé or Proposed Civil Partner visa does not give you the right to work in the UK. After the marriage or civil partnership ceremony, you will be able to apply for a Spouse or Civil Partner visa, which does give you the right to work.

In order to qualify for a Fiancé(e) or Proposed Civil Partner visa, you will need to meet the following requirements:

• Your partner is British or holds Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK;
• You are both over the age of 18;
• You have met in person;
• You are both free to marry or enter into a civil partnership;
• Your relationship is genuine and you intend to live together permanently in the UK;
• You intend to marry or enter into a civil partnership within six months of your arrival in the UK;
• Any previous relationships have broken down permanently;
• You will be adequately maintained in the UK without recourse to public funds;
• There is adequate accommodation for you and any dependents;
• You speak and understand English to the required level.

To satisfy the financial requirement, you need to provide evidence that your sponsor has £18,600 gross yearly income.

If your child(children) who are not British or Settled in the UK are also applying for the visa, there is a need for an additional income of £3,800 for your first child and £2,400 for each next child.
