However, it is possible to apply for a specific Marriage Visitor Visa which allows applicants to enter the UK to marry or enter into a Civil Partnership without seeking any further leave to remain. For example this Visa would be perfect for applicants with a specific desire to get married in a romantic Scottish castle! Both parties to the marriage are required to leave the UK at the end of their Visa.
