## FAQ
**Do I pay the health surcharge on a Fiancé visa?**
No. The 6-month fiancé stage is exempt. You pay the surcharge when you switch to the Partner visa in the UK after marrying, for the 30-month grant at that stage.

**Can I work on the Fiancé visa?**
No. Work is not allowed until the Partner visa is granted after the wedding. Plan for 3 to 6 months of support from your spouse.

**What do we do after the wedding?**
Apply in the UK for leave to remain as a partner before the 6-month visa expires. We do not handle in-UK applications from India; we refer you to a regulated UK adviser for that stage.
