    Just remember that you should be married first to request one (and not be a UK citizen but a E.U country citizen) and the marriage previouly validated at the Embassy of your citizenship in the country where the marriage was done (so that it's recorded in your citizenship country database).
    I think I sussed out a little more by Googling "EEA Family Permit".
    Unless I'm mistaken :
    Get Irish passport
    Get married in Philippines (if she'll have me) after registering it with the Irish Embassy there,
    Wife applies for Family permit using VAF5 to the British Embassy as I am an Irish (EU/EEA) Citizen living in the UK.
    Sounds like an option unless I have missed something..?????
    Though I may opt for the fiance visa as it will be cheaper than having to go to the PP's again to get married after my next imminent trip.
    If the fiance visa application fails then i think maybe a Family Permit could be plan B.
    - open to suggestions folks,

    thanks

    advice, i would phone IND a couple of times, and ask about you having a british and irish passport if your going to try the family permit, becuase if i was you, i would want to be 100% sure that there was going to be no problems later on, just to save some money..

    but thinking about it, it doesn't say anythng about it in the immigration rules i looked at, so its probably ok, a loop hole maybe the gov will close oneday ??

    Like others say what you save on the Visa you may end up in costs for the wedding and remeber in most cases about half the family will have no chance to actually witness the Wedding.

    A trip to Phill may put you out but for most ladies the wedding is the biggest day of there lives and us blokes should take the back seats imho.
