Hi everyone

I've met a lady in Manila some months ago and plan to bring her to the UK to get married and I know pretty much what is needed to get her here; but there might be some issues I need help with.

Would the EEA visa be easier than the British spouse visa?

I don't plan on marrying in the Philippines so can we marry in Europe?

I have an ex girlfriend who I never married, she is chasing me for money because we had some kids together. Could this be an issue with our application?

Also, if we marry outside the Philippines am I right to think that the marriage isn't recognised in the Philippines?

Cheers

Eddie
