Post by omar_amr90 » Sat Jun 23, 2018 6:13 pm

Hi
Neither me nor my Fiance are EU or UK citizens . It is my first month in the UK on Tier 2 General Visa and I would like to invite her and marry her in the UK . What type of Visa should she apply for , Tier 2 Dependent or marriage visa ?

Many Thanks and much appreciated

How long have you been in a relationship and have you lived together?

If she comes on a marriage visit visa, she cannot switch to tier 2 dependent visa within the UK. She will have to leave the UK to apply from home country.

It will likely be easier to marry abroad and then bring her.

Thank you for your reply . We have been together for 5 years and we didn't live together as we live in different countries . But during these 5 years we visited each other many times

Your best option would be to marry outside the UK and then apply for the PBS Dependent visa.
