Fiance Visa to UK

[Angel1403]

Hi


Your other option, is to get married in the Philippines then apply for a spouse visa....could work out cheaper.

Hi

How would getting married in Philippines be cheaper? I am curious?

Yes in relation to not rushing, we dont plan to. We both feel very much in love already. However, we realise oncve we meet & spend time together that will be the real test

Thats where I feel the 6 months time in the UK comes in once the Fiance Visa is issued. I guess we have 5 months to find out if our feeling are real and if we really like each other. Although, I think the answer will be Yes

Thanks again for your advice.

Cheers

Welcome Angel, I think the cost is down to the difference in the two countries. The cost of anything in the Philippines is much less compared to the UK.

I am in the same position as you, but unfortunately my gf is separated so we have to get her marriage annulled before we can go any further. I wish you every success and I hope that your visit works out for you both.

You get far more for your money in the Philippines so relatively speaking weddings are cheaper there. Though obviously you could if you wanted have a very cheap wedding in the UK. Also you will save on one lot of visa fees (£400), but of course you will have to make another trip to the Philippines which you may not wanted to do (which would cost time and money).

Personally I agree with you that having several months of living togther in the UK is invaluable and think that it is worth any extra it may have cost. Too many people on here claim that getting married in the Philippines and getting a spouse visa is best just because it is cheaper.

Yes, you can have quite a nice wedding in the Philippines, have all her family there, for a nominal amount of money.

.......but darren-b makes a very valid point, about going down the fiancee visa route & living together in the UK, so really it's down to the pair of you & whatever suits you best.
