    my advice is go there 2 months before, as there are papers you will need to be there and get that take quite a while.

    Chances are, that if you go over Christmas, you may need longer than a month.....

    For civil ceremony...
    CNI, from your registrar.
    Birth certificate
    Passport.

    If you marry in church.............
    Apart from the above.
    The list is endless.

    tbh, it's a bad idea then, go there, get all the requirements, then come back to UK, then go back when u get another holiday and marry.

    You will be disappointed if you only come for a month tbh

    certificate of no impediment (to contract marriage)

    and, do yourself a favour, don't waste 15 quid to get it in the UK (like i did), because it's invalid here, you need to get it from British embassy in Manila. So if you're not staying in manila, you'll need to go there for the CNI.

    You need Cenomars

    gosh, it's endless.

    I'm glad I got it over with ... endless paperwork and money outlay. Just bring a lot of money and patience

    He needs to waste 15 quid here, coz he needs to validate it at the Embassy anyway...
    So it is easier to post it on the bans here for 21 days, before he leaves, rather than in Manila and waste time accordingly...

    He is trying to get married in a month.... Remember...???

    I forgot to bring my certificate of waste of 15 quids, left it back in UK, here in Phils, they told me it doesn't matter coz it's inconsequential, I still need to get the same piece of paper (for 5000 pesos) in manila,

    yet,

    it could just be Negros Oriental?

    peace

    In my case, that was true. I gave up my job to come here :( now I gotta go back and get a job

    It also costs quite a bit to get married here, ya, less than UK, but the prices that people tell you it costs for marriage here, just double it and you'll do OK.

    You're right though, it's a real bummer.

    Plus, as is the system in the Philippines, everything is very hierarchical. The constant list of requirements and payments and more payments. Ya, it's the Philippines, where everything is exhaustingly drawn out and unnecessarily lengthly.

    You'll need to get her birth certificate authenticated by the NSO, and if there's a mistake on it (as often there is), you'll need to pay to get that rectified. If you- or the officials - make a mistake on paper work, you gotta be prepared to pay twice.

    Philippines!

    I did it in less than 3 weeks, as I was prepared.

    The only thing that we had to wait for, was the marriage licence, 10 days.

    Everything else had been organized by me online, and by my wife doing the legwork with "small" details, like wedding dress, Barongs, Maids dresses, and paying the deposit at the hotel.

    Arrived sunday 4th feb, applied for licence on monday the 5th, married on monday 19th, left on the 23d.

    Easy.....

    You have lots of time to plan ahead, only forget Xmas time.... Try to go in January

    when you get there, you get a 21 day visa, just renew it on day 20 and you're cool (and so on).

    If you did want to stay in the Philippines, take your wife on a holiday to outside the Phils and when you come back get a free Balikbayan visa for a year!

    See if you get married in PHIL, do they still do that sexual counselling marriage interview stuff at the churches to see if you are a compatible couple.
    See what i mean here:

    In the town where you wish to marry, you must attend at the Local Rural Health Unit, you must attend for Pre-Marriage Guidance and Sexual Health Counselling

    This does seem of course to be an absolute Joke in this day and age, since no doubt, many of you sponsors are on either your 2nd marriage, or more importantly are well along in years, however, it is a requirement for you to obtain a marriage licence, so you cannot side step it, some people attempt to get around it by paying for the certificate to be obtained without sitting in on the pre-marriage counselling, that is of course entirely up to you, if you are able to pay an 'express' fee to avoid the counselling, good for you, its worth it.

    It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum.

    THEN you must also undergo the pre marriage seminar which is an 8 hour snooze fest in the local language delivered patronizingly sponsored by the government.

    that way would be beneficial in that you can get to adjust to married life together right away, without you having to run back here.

    Just so long as you're financially prepared. 500 quid a month is good to live a moderately comfy life here.

    you don't want feuds.

    if you have problems with technicalities talk to

    -Peterginab
    -Aromulus
    -Joebloggs
    -Somebody

    I'll do my best from my experience to help, but I made a lot of mistakes in the process of getting married here.

    Those 4 above know all there is to know between them to stop any feuds from happening.

    peace

    but living here is another matter, although, I guess it depends on what quality of life you want. Just breathe, read the other few messages I put for you here....

    100 a week is 400 quid, alth0ugh, the pound is about 74 peso right now ... looking bad ... My budget for the last year was about 450 per month, definitely overshot.
