I know this is primarily for UK but I would like to help a person whom I have been in contact with who is having a problem in Spain. He married in Phil and he is now in Spain with his wife. He has hit a stumbling block which I have not been aware of previously. It certainly did not apply to my wife when she came to Spain a couple of years ago. I have pasted below the email I received in September; he has just told me he has not found a solution. I would be grateful if anyone can throw any light on the problem.
Email dated Sept.
We submitted Gina's application for her Residencia today only to be told that the marriage certificate is not acceptable unless registered in the UK. The registrar in the UK tells us there is no provision to register them there.
The British Consul in Alicante tells us they are aware of the issue and there is discussion between the British Embassy in Madrid, the Foreign office in London and the Spanish Embassy.
Thanks, John
