WHAT IS A MARRIAGE OR SPOUSE VISA

A marriage visa or spouse visa allows a foreign national to join their spouse or partner in another country for residency or immigration purposes.

These visas are commonly used for marriage immigration, fiancé visas, and family reunification.

Each country has different requirements, which may include proof of relationship, identity documents, financial support, and background checks.

Applicants must confirm requirements directly with the consulate or immigration authority.
 

APOSTILLE REQUIREMENTS FOR MARRIAGE AND SPOUSE VISAS

Many countries require foreign documents to be legalized before acceptance. For Hague Convention countries, this is completed through an apostille.

Documents issued in the United States may require either a state apostille or a federal apostille depending on the document.
