Visas

Advice

Always

• You must show that:
• You plan to marry within a reasonable time (usually six months)
• You plan to live together permanently after you are married
• You have met each other before
• There is somewhere for you and your dependants to live until you get married, and you will be able to live without any help from public funds, and
• You and your dependants can be supported without working or claiming any help from public funds.
• You will be allowed to stay in the UK for six months. When you are married, you can apply for a two-year extension to your visa, and, if your application is granted, you will be allowed to work near the end of this time.

Never 

• You should never work until you are married.
