Married Or Maiden name on spouse ID Cards?

[John Chingford]

Thanks TiN. Much appreciated. You are so kind

[russ01539]

hhmmmm.....suprising isn't ?

[tiN]

Thanks TiN. Much appreciated. You are so kind

I just talked to my friend and she told me that when she applied for FLR and passport has not been ammended, the name in the card is her single name. Ammend the passport then apply for the FLR

Goodluck

Isnt it frustrating that Home Office keep changing the rules. You really have to be on your toes. It seems that no-one has actually applied after Nov 25th 2008 so are advising based on what happened before that time. I think it certainly best to apply to Fil Embassy for a change of name beforehand. I think we will do that. But what sort of ID card we get ??????? This is the real issue! How would it affect things regarding employment, travelling etc etc if ID is in maiden name?

[John Chingford]

thanks for that TiN. What dates did your friend start applying from fiancee visa through to the ID card? Was it after 25th Nov 2008?

I live in London so no problem going to Picadilly Circus. I have been told by them that it takes 2 to 3 days to be ready. We will then collect it by visiting them again.

And also as far as I know you need to go to Philippine Embassy to ammend and report the marriage as they dont accept post? Im not sure about this but thats what ive been told

Goodluck

Based on my experience, we sent it thru post, and took only a week..you can go to the philippine embassy website, all the information is in there..good luck.

I have just been checking why I am restricted in my priviledges on this website. It looks like I need 15 posts to lift my restrictions. Therefore I now send this one more post to get it up to 15

[John Chingford]

will that solve the problem so that i have access to producing a profile?

But you still cant access private messages to the one you want to ask in private,need 75 + post and a rep power

If my wife (I am British) notifies Philippine embassy of our marriage will there be tax consequences of her earnings in UK. I mean will Philippine government use this notification to enforce a tax burden on her?

I don't think so... unless your wife derives an income in the phils or owns a property (real estate tax)...

Nope,its outside of the Phillipines already

[John Chingford]

I was informed a number of years ago that if a Filipino was living in UK but as a Filipino national with Filipino passport that any earnings needed to be declared to both UK and Philippine tax offices. I wondered if the situation was the same or had changed?

As a Filipina is now my wife and soon she will be allowed to work here she will be paying UK tax but i wondered if Philippine tax office would notify her of her obligations if we told them of our marriage in Uk (as long as she still has a Filippina passport).

Have tax laws now changed then in Fil?

Loads of filipina living here for ages 8 years 10 years and more,but they dont bother or rather they didnt pay tax to PI,so I dont think so,anyhow for sure you will change your wife after 2 years her passport as british citizen isnt it ??

Ps.can u read my thread I had question to you too....lol as hubby go to work now...no one to ask eh

Think you have been informed incorrectly.

As I understand it "a non-resident citizen will be taxed only on income derived from sources within the Philippines."

It would be impossible for them to claim anyway - my wife would just state that she doesn't have an income of her own in the UK...

[eljean]

Best thing is to go on, Home Office website and Phil Embassy of London website all the neccessary info is there to read specially, that rules had been changed and more additional rules when it comes to settlement visa...and also talking about Taxes go to HM and Revenue....loads of info in there for you about taxes and benefits...

HI John

When i applied my flr 2007 same year as tin i ammended my passport and report my marriage in the PHIL embassy by post. I am holding a green passport. I use mrs in the flr form when i applied.

But....

I have a friend who applied recently and got her id card back. She did not ammend her passport because its different now her passport ( the brown) , she has to go to the PHil embassy i think to have it ammended, she just report the marriage then. In the form she mistakenly put miss instead of mrs so when she gets back her id its miss instead of mrs Where she should put mrs in the first place.

Hope thats help
Goodluck

yes, i have a friend who applied recently and didnt ammend her passport but use her maiden name in the flr application form. Well, you have you MC to prove you are married already

But as you can see on my previous post, i have shared about one of my friend haven't got her passport ammended but when she gets her flr visa, still her maiden name on it, the lady from HO advice them to get her passport ammended before applying ilr so she can use her married name on it.... she applied 2007 same as Tin..

Maybe they have changed the rule now..
