[Terpe]

Can i still marry a filapina if i do not have work? i am 58 ,stopped work through health, i have savings of over 30 000 and have pension of 115 pounds weekly ,own my bungalow, no mortgage , , chatting with woman 6 months but if marriage is not possible it would be waste of time and emotions to visit her and plan future ,,,,,,,thank you for any help / advice, norman

Hi Norman, welcome here to the forum.

Technically, if you are legally free to marry and she is legally free to marry no problem.
Of course it's understood that you would meet her face-to-face and get to know each other before actually getting married.

Of more importance to your question is what your plans would be after marriage.
Live in the Philippines together ? or
Return to UK to live and settle as a couple ?

If you had a plan to apply for a spouse visa and return to UK to settle, then I have to say based on the income and saving you have, then you would not be eligible for a visa.
You need to prove an annual gross income of £18600

Well, food for thought anyway.
Better to be aware now than after marriage.

thank you Terpe, i confess to knowing little about visa and regulations, apart from the pension i get , i also get similar amount in invalidity so the total will be about £248 weekly 12896 per year plus savings of over 30 000 ,i did not mention this before because i thought this may go against me when the time came for trying to get lyndee back here after marriage, would invalidty count towards the 18, 600 threshhold ? thank you, norman
