Short answer is - I don't know. I know they changed the rules recently so that all "foreigners" wishing to marry in England had to notify the Home Office, but I don't know if that specifically applies to those here solely for the purpose of getting married (ie, on a fiance visa). Using one's common sense, you would assume not, since you would assume that the Home Office would know of your intention to marry by virtue of the fact that your gf has a fiance visa, but then I've never known the Home Office to apply common sense, so such logical and rational thinking may escape them.

Best bet is to contact Home Office direct. You can actually email them, I believe, as their "helplessline" number is permanently engaged and useless. Website should give you the email details. http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/con...d/en/home.html

That's a bit harsh......more like 11...... :P ....must think we're all old deaf sods

Our niece was given a 6 month fiancee visa to get married here, and she didn't need the marriage authorisation, as it had already been confirmed by giving her the visa in the first place, so NO BUT ALWAYS BEST TO GIVE THE IND A BELL!!
