Amazing experience
After placing an enquiry, I received a call 20 minutes later, and then 2 hours later, I had a solicitor assigned to me. They were absolutely incredible right from the word go - amazing and very prompt with replies, answering all my questions and keeping the process moving. We finally completed today and I am so unbelievably happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lawhive again in the future if needed.
Lily
First class service
I initially made an online enquiry about a tricky conveyancing matter and received an immediate call back. They understood straight away what was needed and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. It was such a pleasure to find someone who was cheerful, professional and completely reassuring as I’d been getting quite anxious about the sale of my house. The service Lawhive has provided is absolutely first class and I cannot recommend them enough.

Kelvin
Great service when you need clarity and calm
Our solicitor was warm, friendly and provided crystal clear communication. A lot of conveyancers assume customers know everything about the process already, so it was really appreciated to hear each stage included in the price given.

Dreaming of starting a new chapter with your fiancé in the UK? A fiancé visa is the first step to bringing your partner to join you, allowing you to live and build your future together.

There is no visa specifically called a ‘Fiancé’ visa. If you want to come to the UK for more than 6 months to live with your fiancé, fiancée, or proposed civil partner you must apply for a family visa.
To apply for a family visa as a fiancé, fiancée or proposed civil partner, you must:
You must apply online for a fiancé visa whether you’re in the UK or outside the UK.
Before you start your application you should check your eligibility and the fees involved.
If you are in the UK, you must apply for a biometric immigration document, also known as a biometric residence permit.
If you are applying outside the UK, you must provide your fingerprints and a photograph. This may involve going to a visa application centre, either in the country where you live or in an alternative location.
Key documents you’ll need to include with your fiancé visa application include:

You can stay in the UK for 6 months if you’re applying for a family visa as a fiancé, fiancée, or proposed civil partner.
It usually takes about 24 weeks to get a decision on a family visa if you’re applying from outside the UK.
If you apply in the UK, it can take anywhere between 9 weeks and 12 months to get a decision depending on whether you meet the financial and English language requirements.
The minimum income requirement for a fiancé visa is a combined income of at least £29,000. However, this may be different if your partner is getting certain disability or carer’s benefits.
Holders of a fiancé visa are not permitted to work or study in the UK.
The fiancé visa is specifically designed to allow you to come to the UK to marry or enter into a civil partnership within six months. During this period, your stay is intended for personal and relationship purposes rather than for engaging in economic activities.
You can add children to a fiancé visa application as dependants if they:
Once you are married or have entered into a civil partnership, you can apply to switch from a fiancé visa to a spousal visa.
After switching to a spouse visa, you will have the right to work and study without any restrictions in the UK. This visa is typically granted for 30 months, with the possibility of extension and eventually applying for indefinite leave to remain.
Common reasons for fiancé visa refusals include:
If your fiancé visa application is refused, contact an experienced immigration lawyer who can help you understand the reasons and advise on the best course of action.
This may include requesting an administrative if the refusal was due to an error, reapplying with additional evidence, or appealing the decision if you have the right to do so.
A lawyer will review your refusal letter and assess your case to identify the best way to address the issues raised.

Yes, the primary purpose of the fiancé visa is to allow non-UK citizens to enter the UK to marry or enter into a civil partnership with their UK-based partner. You must do this within the six-month validity period of the visa.
You can get married or register your civil partnership at any approved venue in the UK, including registry offices, churches, or other licensed venues.
