Our initial plan was for him to move over Brazil next year to study. Since he would be here for 13 months on a student visa, we would be able to get married here and then give notice to the U.K. government. After that, we would figure out a way we could live together in the U.K. in 2019.

However, latelly we've thinking it might be better if we get married in the U.K. and I move there instead.

My question is:

What happens after the 6-month Marriage Visitor Visa expires? Does the partner of the British citizen has to leave the country? If yes, what is the next step? How can the partner get back to the U.K. without having to leave the country?

Thanks a lot and the best of luck to you!
