Marriage or Civil Partnership Visit Visa

The Marriage or Civil Partnership Visit Visa is designed for individuals who wish to visit the UK to marry, form a civil partnership, or give notice of a marriage or civil partnership.

This visa does not lead to settlement in the UK, and each visitor must apply separately, even when traveling as part of a group.
