There are so many things to sort out before you can marry/civil partnership with you partner. You have given us too little information to give an adequate answer. How long have you been with your partner? can you prove you have a long standing relationship. Judging by what you say it appears you are just looking to become a UK citizen.
Look at the UKBA website, there are many pages of information about spouse/partnership realationships and visa routes.

DO NOT overstay here in the Uk or that will not help you.

if you are here on a tourist visa and not a marriage visit visa then,,


http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/vi.../requirements/

You must also be able to show that, during your visit, you do not intend to:

take paid or unpaid employment, produce goods or provide services, including the selling of goods or services directly to members of the public;
do a course of study;
marry or register a civil partnership, or give notice of marriage or civil partnership;
carry out the activities of a business visitor, a sports visitor or an entertainer visitor; or
receive private medical treatment.

As others have said, you cannot get married or form a civil partnership under the conditions of a tourist visa.
You could not legally remain after visa expiry and could not secure any visa to remain.
You must return home and file an application for a settlement category visa.

i agree to the statements above. if you are in the uk for a tourist visa then you cant enter any civil partnership or get married to someone settled in the uk. you need to go back to the phlippines and apply for a settlement visa.

when i was a tourist visa last year i was advised not to go home and get married right away but we chose not to break any laws. its nice to be legal, hard to do but worth doing in the end.

There are quite a number of different categories of Visit Visa.
Tourist Visa/Family Visa/Sports Visa/Business Visa etc.

Your visa is just one of the different visit categories. However, they all have similar conditions and restrictions.
These condtions include 6 months maximum stay, no employment, no study and importantly no marriage or civil partnership.

We can only provide you with advice that not only complies with the law but which also gives you the best option.
There are absolutely no circumstances that would allow you to remain legally in UK beyond your visa validity.
At some point you will have to return to Philippines and submit an application for a settlement type visa fully compliant with all the current requirements. Period.

With those visa's you mention, you're now entering the world of visa's categorised as 'High-value migrants'
Check out the details here

There is only one visa guaranteed to do what you'd like to do in this category.
It's called a Tier 1 (Investor) visa. Look here for details

The only criteria is your ability to invest £1,000,000 in the UK.

When money talks people listen.

I somehow think the OP isn't listening or reading.

When my wife and I were visiting VFS in Manila there was a woman there applying for an Entertainer's Visa to the UK. She was working on a TV program called Banana Split or something.

If you're really interested in which activities are allowed and which activities are not allowed you can review the UKBA webpage that explains whether a person can visit UK as an Entertainer Visitor.


For those folks who want to come to the UK as a visitor to do short-term, fee-paid activity they can apply for a visa as a Permitted Paid Engagement visitor.

Hello there, i just read your concern regarding marriage here in the UK, if you're in a tourist visa right now im afraid that you need to go back to the PHI to apply for another visa which is the fiance visa (if you're planning to get married here in the UK, or a spousal visa if you want to get married in the PHI) you can't apply any other visas if you are under a tourist visa, I'm sorry but they will ask you to go back in the PHI to apply for another visa :(
