This is from the guidance notes on the BIA site. It used to be that if you held a visa valid for 6 months or less (like a visitor visa) they would not grant it, though this is not necessarily true anymore. In a nutshell, any non-EU citizen that does not have settled status (indefinite leave to remain) needs to have a certificate of approval. This applies for everyone from students to work permit holders.2. I WANT TO GET MARRIED OR REGISTER MY CIVIL PARTNERSHIP IN THE UK AND I AM ALREADY IN THE COUNTRY
2.1 If you have settled status in the UK (free of any restriction on the period for which you may remain, and with, for example, indefinite leave to enter or remain) then you will not require a certificate of approval for marriage or civil partnership in order to be able to give to a registrar notice to marry or register your civil partnership.
2.2 If you don't have settled status in the UK, you will need to apply for a certificate of approval from the Home Office.
