Marriage Visa

What is a Marriage Visa?

A Marriage Visa allows a foreign national who is legally married to a citizen or permanent resident to live together in the same country. It is one of the most common family-based visa types and provides foreign spouses with the right to reside, work, and in many cases, study. Most Marriage Visas serve as a pathway to permanent residency and eventually citizenship, helping couples build their lives together abroad. Eligibility requirements usually include proof of a genuine marriage, shared financial and living arrangements, and the sponsor’s income or residence status. The visa reinforces family unity and ensures legal protection for international couples.
