How do I apply for a marriage visitor visa?
When looking at how to apply for a marriage visa, these steps can help make the process easier to follow:
-
Step 1 - Starting your application
-
Step 2 - Book and attend your appointment at a visa application centre
-
Step 3 - Getting a response
If you need a Marriage Visitor visa, apply online before you visit the UK. You can apply up to 3 months before you travel. It’s a good idea to start your application as soon as you can.
Next, you’ll need to book an appointment at a visa application centre. Leave plenty of time for this in case your nearest one is in another country.
At your appointment, you’ll confirm your identity and provide your documents. The visa application centre might keep hold of your passport and documents while processing your application, but this is normal.
You’ll usually get a response within 3 weeks, letting you know if your application has been successful.
