Related questions

Can I marry in the UK on a Standard Visitor visa?

No. Giving notice of marriage or marrying is not allowed on a Standard Visitor visa. Doing so can lead to a refusal of future applications. Use the Marriage Visitor visa, or the Fiancé visa if you will stay.

Can I stay in the UK with my spouse after the wedding?

No. The Marriage Visitor visa cannot be switched to a Partner visa inside the UK. You must leave and apply for the Partner visa from India, meeting the £29,000 income rule and A1 English.

How is this different from the Fiancé visa?

The Fiancé visa (£2,064) is for people who will settle with a British or settled partner and switch to the Partner visa after marrying. The Marriage Visitor visa (£135) is for a wedding followed by departure. Choosing the wrong one wastes the fee.
