There are several visa categories that are requested to reside in the UK with a partner. If You have already registered your relationship with an English citizen who officially works and lives in the country, you can request a visa for your wife/husband. One of the main documents when applying for a visa in this case will be a marriage certificate.
In other cases, the following categories of visas are issued:
A bride/groom visa or wedding visa is required for marriage registration.
If couples plan to live in a de facto marriage without formal registration, then a partner visa (Unmarried Partner UK Visa) is opened.
