    People say the tourist Visa is hard to get, go straight for the fiance visa! (Yes! A man can marry a man in England! For those who might not know!)

    There are 7 Planes Of Existance:

    7 — Material Plane: The earth, where you are right now.
    6 — Plane of Forces
    5 — Astral Plane
    4 — Mental Plane
    3 — Too mysterious to describe.
    2 — Too mysterious to describe.
    1 — Too mysterious to describe.

    One of the requirements for the fiance visa is that you have actually met. They say tourist visa is hard to get but who knows you might get it, just try....
    Best of luck...

    Seek advice from Elton John (hehe jowke)

    I think you should meet first before applying any visa, its just one of the requirement or proof that you both know each other.

    Unlikely to get a tourist visa, likely to get a fiancee visa. But for both you must have visited him.

    there's no harm in trying a visit visa, since its the most cheapest application..just make sure u have prepared all the necessary documents..
    fiancee visa/civil partnership- one of the major requirement is u have MET already..

    Goodluck on ur thesis and visa application..

    The essence of this thread, is that the questioner is gay, and the British BF is no doubt gay also, although one never knows these days, such is the diversity of relationships.

    One assumes that this is a same sex couple, although I have heard of some British men who openly seek the attentions of a Filipino gay man, this is not new, he may in fact be married, or in a monogamous relationship, however, the questioner asks about obtaining a visit visa to link up with the British Boyfriend.

    Since the orientation of the relationship is via internet, and same sex in nature, the 2 parties have not as yet met, and it is of little value pushing the questioner into applying for a fiancee visa, since this visa is in its very nature only designed for male/female relationships.

    A Fiancee visa by default is a marriage visa, marriages can only be undertaken by parties of the opposite sex under England and Wales law, the union of a man and a man is termed a 'Civil partnership' which may be undertaken, but the Fiancee (marriage) visa is not the relevant visa that would be appropriate.

    The 2 parties would indeed form a same sex partnership, and to obtain a visitor visa in this situation could almost certainly result in a refusal to issue a visa, also there is no evidence of an ongoing and subsisting same sex relationship, since the parties have not met.

    The British BF may not sponsor the visitor, as the visitor must meet the requirements of the stay in the UK from personal funds, and show good evidence that he will return at the end of his stay, and show compelling reasons that there is a likelihood he will return.

    It is easier of course if the British BF consented to visiting you in the Philippines since he does not require a visa for a stay under 21 days, my advice is not to bother applying for a tourist visa, unless you can afford to sponsor yourself, and convince an entry clearance officer that you intend to visit London for tourism, and make no mention of your same sex relationship that may develop accordingly.

    Good luck.
