If you are visiting the UK to be married and you are a citizen of a country which is not a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), you will need to apply for a marriage visa before you travel. If you do not get a marriage visa, and this visa is not supplied with the M10 forms, the Registrar will not be able to accept your Marriage Notice forms (M10) and you will not be able to marry in the UK. If you are already in the UK, and you are a citizen of a country which is not a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), you will need the approval of the Home Secretary to be married here. This will be provided in the form of a Certificate of Approval. If you are a non-EEA national, please ensure you have read the immigration requirements page, this gives more information about required documentation. |
