UK Visitor for Marriage Visa

[VerdurousGlooms]

Hi there I'm going to apply for a UK Visitor for Marriage Visa soon. And I was wondering do I need a document of proof I'm not married? I'm Russian and by fiancé is English.

Thank you

If you have never previously been married, you don't need any other papers (the certificate of non-impediment that is famously necessary in most other countries is not a requirement for the UK). However, if you have been married previously, you will need to provide your divorce decree.

Thanks Lucapooka. I have one more question if you could help. On the application form it says something along the lines of 'What arrangements have been made for either notification or ceremony of the marriage?' the thing is I have called my local designated register office and they said we have to be together to give notice. So how can we show that we have given notice if we can't?
Thanks

If you have an information leaflet, pamphlet, flyer, brochure (call it what you will) from the registry office, then include that in the application. Just scan it and send it to your partner if you don't have time to post it overseas. Or a letter or email from the wedding registry office (if they respond to enquiries by email). The UKBA are completely aware that you can't book a wedding for a person outside the UK so the precise requirement for this question is vague and not terribly important.

Do you intend to leave the UK after your wedding? A Marriage Visitor visa won't enable you to remain here.

Yes I intend to leave England a month after the ceremony. I'm aware that this isn't a settlement visa that's why later on we will be applying for a spouse visa when we feel we are in a better position to get it granted.

Thanks

Hi there another question about the UK Visitor for Marriage visa, if you don't mind helping me. When applying for the visa should we show any proof of relationship? It doesn't say anything about it on the UK visa site. My boyfriend will write the supporting letter explaining our relationship but is anything else needed. If it matters my boyfriend is English and I'm Russian.

Thanks.
