I am a visitor visa here and it last on Feb next year.. I have a chatmate and he is an English man. He wants to marry as soon as possible coz he never want me to go back to the Philippines but i told him that i want to marry him in the Philippines. But he said its easy for us to marry here because im here.. I just want to know what will happen to me if i marry him here? And what are the requirements need to submit if we get marry? What will happen to my visa that will last on Feb next year? Any advise please... Thank you
hi--welcome to the forum. if youre here in the UK on a visit visa you cannot get married here--you need to return to the philippines and apply for a settlement ( marriage ) visa from there. what your chat mate wants is not possible.
Korek......... He will have to rein in and arrange for a wedding either here with the proper visa, or in Pinas. You cannot abuse the privilege of the visitor's visa. So, I would strongly advise him of following the rules closely, and if he does love you, he will wait for the right time under the right circumstances. have you two met, yet??? Or is this a silly question..?
Totally agree with the previous posts. You'd have to be lucky to get around the 'red-tape' and actually get married. But in the event that you actually achieved it you'd be in breach of the visa restrictions you declared to understand and follow. As such your stay in UK would be illegal on a number of counts including 'overstay' which is a criminal offence. Not good. What kind of life would that be ? Even no access to any health care at all or to any legal employment.
Thank you to all ur advise.. I will follow what u guys said.. And i really dont want to stay here as illegal.. And u guys are right, if He loves me he will come to the Philippines to marry me..i dont need his visa coz i can come back here whenever i want.. Thanks alot guys and Merry Christmas to you all..
You are right about the "if He loves me he will come to the Philippines to marry me" Have you guys have met yet? And Merry Christmas to you to
If he really loves you, of course he will marry you in The Philippines. I married my wife in The Philippines even though I was unable to walk when I travelled there. My Profile photo hides the fact that my left arm was on my wife's shoulder for support and my right arm on a wheelchair handle. You can click on the photo to see!
Guys, enlighten me please. Is it true,if you are holding a visit visa when you enter UK, You and your fiance cant file Marriage settlement visa while you are there?
true....the visitor has to return home and apply for a settlement visa from there. well spotted B'Oss--just a phone finger slip--corrected it now.
Indeed. That's listed as not being allowed on the UKVI visit visa webpage:- https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor-visa/overview You can’t: do paid or unpaid work live in the UK for long periods of time through frequent visits get public funds marry or register a civil partnership, or give notice of marriage or civil partnership
