Partner visa
Вітаю 👋
Мене звати Олександр, я Ваш персональний менеджер. Давайте я Вам допоможу?

Нещодавно нашій команді поставили запитання: “I am currently in a relationship with a British citizen, and we are planning to get married in the near future. However, I am unsure whether I should first apply for a fiancée visa or a partner visa, as our situation is a bit complicated – I am on a student visa that expires soon.
Could you please advise me on which route world be more suitable in my case, and what documents I would need to prepare?”

02.09.2025 11:34:26 In your situation, choosing between a fiancée visa (also known as a marriage visitor visa) and a partner visa (spouse or unmarried partner visa) depends on your specific circumstances and future plans. Here's an overview to help you decide: ### Fiancée Visa: - **Purpose**: This is for those who intend to come to the UK to get married within six months. After marriage, you would need to switch to a spouse visa if you plan to stay in the UK. - **Validity**: Up to 6 months. - **Requirements**: - You must prove your intention to marry within six months. - Evidence of your relationship with your fiancé(e). - Proof of financial support and accommodation in the UK. - English language proficiency. ### Partner Visa (Spouse or Unmarried Partner Visa): - **Purpose**: This is for those who are already married or have been in a relationship akin to marriage for at least two years and wish to live together in the UK permanently. - **Validity**: Initially up to 2.5 years, extendable. - **Requirements**: - If applying as a spouse, you must be legally married; if as an unmarried partner, you need evidence of living together for at least two years. - Proof of genuine relationship. - Financial requirement (minimum income threshold). - Adequate accommodation proof. - English language proficiency. ### Considerations: 1. **Timing and Plans**: If you're planning on getting married soon after your student visa expires, the fiancée visa might be more appropriate initially. However, this requires another application post-marriage for a spouse visa. 2. **Current Status**: Since your student visa is expiring soon, consider how quickly you can fulfill the requirements for either option. 3. **Financial Requirements**: Both visas require meeting financial thresholds which could influence which route is feasible. 4. **Living Arrangements & Relationship Duration**: If you've lived together for at least two years, applying directly for an unmarried partner visa might be possible if marriage plans are not immediate. ### Documents Typically Required: - Valid passport(s). - Proof of relationship (photos, communication records). - Financial documents (bank statements, employment letters). - Accommodation details in the UK. - English language test results or relevant exemptions. It’s advisable to consult with an immigration lawyer or adviser familiar with UK immigration law who can provide personalized guidance based on all aspects of your situation. They can also assist with ensuring that all documentation is correctly prepared and submitted according to current rules and regulations.
02.09.2025 11:34:54 If you are engaged to a British citizen and intend to marry in the UK, the Fiancé(e) visa allows you to enter or remain for 6 months specifically to get married, after which you must switch to a Spouse/Partner visa. However, it does not permit work during those 6 months. In contrast, if you are already married or can demonstrate at least 2 years of cohabitation, you may apply directly for a Partner visa, which grants up to 2.5 years’ leave with the right to work. Given your current student visa expiring soon, the choice depends on timing: if marriage can take place quickly, a Fiancé(e) visa may suit; otherwise, it may be better to marry before your current visa expires and apply for a Partner visa directly. You will need: proof of genuine relationship (marriage/engagement evidence, cohabitation records, photos, communication), evidence of meeting the financial requirement (£18,600+ income or savings), and adequate accommodation.
02.09.2025 11:35:37 If you plan to marry a British citizen, you generally have two options: a Fiancé(e) visa or a Spouse/Partner visa. The Fiancé(e) visa allows you to stay in the UK for 6 months to marry, but you cannot work until you switch to a Spouse visa after the wedding. A Partner visa, on the other hand, is available if you are already married or have lived together for at least 2 years, granting 2.5 years’ leave with work rights. Since your student visa is expiring soon, timing is key. If you can marry quickly before expiry, a Spouse visa may be more practical, as it avoids the extra step and restrictions of the Fiancé(e) route. If not, applying for a Fiancé(e) visa could be necessary, but it requires showing your genuine intention and ability to marry within 6 months. You must prepare: relationship evidence (marriage/engagement documents, cohabitation proof, photos, communication), financial requirement evidence (£18,600+ income or savings), and proof of suitable accommodation.
