You can get married in the UK as long as you have a Tier 2 General /Skilled Worker Visa. It is legal for you to get married as long as both of you are of legal age. Because of the terms of your visa, when you tell the register office that you want to get married, they will probably call the Home Office to make sure that you are allowed to do so. The great majority of the time, this is just a formality, but you should know about it.

There should be a place at the registry office where you can book your wedding service. The Home Office will let you know if there are any problems with your plans or if they need to look into something. A very large number of the time, the Home Office will not need to do any more research. The Home Office will look into some cases because getting married as a visa user often makes it harder for them to get another visa. If you are worried or want some help, please get in touch with us. Our team can give you more information about how to get married in the UK if you have a Tier 2 General Visa.

What Considerations Do I Need To Make If I am Getting Married In The UK On A Tier 2 General Visa?

People with a Tier 2 General /Skilled Worker Visa who want to get married in the UK don’t have to think about anything important. As we already said, the fact that the Home Office might be looking into your case may make you nervous, but as we also said, this is usually just a routine. Because of how common “sham marriages” are, the Home Office marks some marriages as ones that need to be looked into.

Things you should think about are whether or not getting married will affect your visa. If a person with a Tier 2 General Visa marries a British citizen or someone with Indefinite Leave to Remain, they can exchange their visa for a Spouse Visa after the wedding. A Spouse Visa will give them more choices by letting them stay in the UK and work without limits for a certain amount of time. People with a visa can usually apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain after 5 years of living in the UK.

If you are getting married to someone who already has a visa, you may need to make sure that this won’t hurt your visa conditions. In most cases, it won’t, but if you want to be sure of what will happen to your visa after getting married, please get in touch with our immigration experts. They can help you by looking into how getting married in the UK might affect your visa.

Can I Bring My Partner From Abroad To Get Married In The UK If I’m On A Tier 2 General Visa?

Yes. There is a way to get a Tier 2 Dependent Visa if you are already in the UK with a Tier 2 General Visa. With this choice, your partner—either your husband, wife, or partner—can come to the UK to live with you while you work there. To be eligible, you must make sure that your child has at least £630 on hand when they apply. You must also be able to prove that you can pay for their stay in the UK.

These people will be able to work without any problems, but you will need to show proof that you can support them in the UK. For many reasons, this means that the Tier 2 Dependant Visa makes it easier to get a job than the Tier 2 General Visa. Your partner will be able to live and work with you in the UK if their visa is accepted. Their visa will be tied to yours, so if you both want to stay in the UK for a long time, you will need to extend your visas at the same time.

After 5 years, you will both be granted Indefinite Leave to Remain. After that, you can stay in the UK for as long as you want without any restrictions. It’s possible to become a British citizen after 12 months of having Indefinite Leave to Remain. You can apply for a British passport if you are a British citizen. This is a great choice for many immigrants because they come from countries that let people have dual citizenship, like the UK.
