One last question - If something goes wrong and we don't get marriage licence back in time before I depart to UK. How long is this licence valid for.

I mean can my GF get this licence and then wait for me to come back in April to go to register papers

Thanks

Stuart
Hello Stuart. The marriage license is valid for 120 days and can be implemented anywhere in the Philippines. My husband and i got married last July 20 at the Mayor's Office in Bulacan. We were excused to attend the seminar/counselling as the Health Officer who was supposed to give it said we dont need it anymore as we were both a bit over aged to be lectured on Family Planning (Im 35 and my husband is 57). A month after, we applied for a Spouse Visa and was granted weeks after the application. We hope everything goes as you have planned. We wish you all the luck. God bless.
