FIANCEE VISA and VISA Applications MORE than 30 Days in Advance.

[joebloggs]

Marriage Visa and Fiance(e) Visa are not at all the same.
Fiance(e) Visa is essentially a settlement visa. It is granted for 6 months vailidity. Means that you must get married within the 6 months validity, then once you are married and whilst you are still in UK you apply for FLR (Further Leave to Remain) as spouse.
A Marriage Visa is essentially a special visit visa. It is valid for 6 months BUT the holder MUST return to their home country before expiry. It is intended to allow a marriage (and honeymoon) to take place in UK for whatever reason, but it is not a settlement visa route and it is not a switchable visa. The holder must return home.
Any further requirement to enter the UK again will require a new application.

Hope that clarifies the issue.

marriage visa you would have to leave the country b4 your visa expires whether your married or not, and if you did marry you would have to apply for a spouse visa from your own country, as you need something called 'entry clearance' to stay, which you don't get with a marriage visa, but you do get with a fiancee or spouse visa (thats why a spouse or fiancee visa is a lot more expensive than a marriagevisa)
