Immigration control

You are not subject to immigration control if:
 
  • You are a British citizen, or
  • You are a national of a country in the EEA - European Economic Area - or Switzerland
 
If you do not satisfy any of the conditions above, you are likely to be subject to immigration control.
 
If you are planning to marry in the UK the following conditions apply:
 
  • If you are already in the UK you may need to have settled status or apply to the Home Office for a Certificate of Approval
  • If you are coming into the UK from abroad, you must obtain the appropriate official permission to marry or form a civil partnership before you arrive - e.g. a fiance or marriage/civil partnership visa
  • You will both need to give Notice at a designated Register Office together; this is a special Register Office that is allowed to take Notices from persons subject to immigration control and their partners. You may give Notice at any of the designated offices in England and Wales. The nearest one to Wokingham is Reading Register Office
