Marriage Visitor

The Marriage Visitor visa is designed for non-EEA nationals over the age of 18 who wish to visit the UK to marry or form a civil partnership or give notice of a marriage or civil partnership, in the UK. The Marriage Visitor visa is for those that do not intend to settle in the UK after being married or entering into their civil partnership.

The earliest you can apply is 3 months before you travel. You can use this visa to visit the UK for up to 6 months.
