Hi Ladyj
Many thanks for your reply. She has been in Cyprus for 8 years now, 6 on a visa. She applied to stay under the Europien rule of being more than 5 years in the country, but this has not been excepted yet. She has got prove of this application. That's Cyprus
All I can find out about visas is that there is one for 'Application for visa' and Assumption of Responsibility for Hosting'. No other visas are mentioned.
Before going to the Philippines to get married (after my g/f returns) I have to go to the Ministry of Interior to get a certificate to marry in Philippines. I will have to ask what the situation is then.
