Marriage on a visitor visa

Post by Dentopratz » Sun Feb 19, 2023 9:51 pm

Hi all.

I am on tier 2 health and care visa. My partner currently has a 2 year visitor visa who is outside uk. Can we get married in the uk with his visitor visa or should he apply for marriage visitor visa??

p.s: we do not have intention of living in the uk after few months of our marriage. Leaving uk for good.

Please advice.

Thanks in advance.

And the answer is no, marriage visa is the way to go.
