Hi

i want to marry my Chinese boyfriend. We have been online dating for a year. We video chat for hours everyday. Do we have to have met in person for the uk visitation marriage visa? We would prefer to marry in China but due to 0covid policy this could be difficult. So we think that the 6 months marriage visa with a return to China while the spies visa is applied for might be the best chance.

Hi and welcome to the Forum.


I think you may struggle to prove you're in a genuine relationship if you've never actually met each other; it's one of the things you will have to prove as part of the process; you can find the eligibility requirements and details of how to proceed on the UK Gov website; this link will take you straight to it.


I hope this helps.
