Hi,
Does anyone know how long after a fiance visa is granted must the applicant come to the UK by? I ask because we may meet up in an amber list country for a family wedding if the timings work out and then travel to the UK together.
Thanks in advance

The person can travel at any time within the 6 months validity. However note that you also have to get married within that 6 month period and apply for the spouse visa before fiance visa expires.
Plan accordingly.

Thanks. Yes, if we were going to go ahead with this plan it will only be a 2 week stop in another country before coming to UK, then we intend to apply for notice to get married almost immediately. Hopefully, if this works out, we can avoid hotel quarantine as my fiance is in a red list country. Thanks for your help. I was under the impression that you had to travel to UK within 30 days.

Thanks,
I've read about a visa vignette expiring after 90 days for travel to UK. Does this apply spousal visas and not for fiancé visas?

Yes as fiancée visa is granted for 6 month.
My opinions should not be constituted as an immigration or legal advice.

Hi,
As part of the fiancé visa application process, the documents checklist say to provide the applicant's passport and a copy of the sponsor's passport ID page.
As the applicant is required to take their passport to the biometrics appointment, is it sufficient to upload a copy of the applicant's passport ID page and any stamped pages or do we need to scan all pages of the passport if submitting supporting documents online?
If anyone could shed any light on this matter, it would be greatly appreciated.

This sane question in answered nearly every day. Scan and upload applicants biodata page and other pages with travel history or scan all pages of the passport and upload. Either one is fine.
