Proving Marriage Has Permanently Broken Down

[joebloggs]

Actually Tonet thats what I was thinking also. However, these rules apply to applications from all over the world.

I guess I come back to my original question i.e. Can a marriage in The Phils be shown to have permanently broken down by separation rather than annulment when applying for an unmarried partner visa?

Many thanks

and I'll say its possible, its not filipino law that matters, its what the british embassy decides that counts.

one of the points of the unmarried partner visa is for those that cannot obtain a divorce in thier own country.

You must show that any previous relationship that you or your partner were involved in (whether it be as a married or an unmarried couple) has ended.

well if you have a 7yr old daughter with your partner, been togther 7yrs was it? any contact with her ex ?
