Marriage Visitor visa to the UK
In order to solemnize a marriage in the United Kingdom, a special visa known as the "Marriage Visitor Visa" is required. This visa is designed for foreign citizens planning to marry in the UK and then return to their country of residence.
It's crucial to note that a tourist or private visa does not grant the right to marry in the United Kingdom.
The Marriage Visitor Visa is mandatory if an individual plans to hold a marriage ceremony or civil partnership within the territory of the United Kingdom. This visa can be a more cost-effective alternative to a fiancé/spouse visa, with the possibility of later obtaining a spouse immigration visa and residing in the UK.
