Marrying and going to live in Cebu...help please!

[zyra_zzz]

Maybe this will help too. We had a civil wedding here in the Philippines and these is what they ask us to produce. For the woman, Birth certificate from NSO, and witnesses for the wedding. For the foreinger guy, devorce paper if you are devorced,birth certificate and capacity to get married from your embassy. Me and my husband went to the emigration and told them that he intended to stay in the Philippines so they ask him to apply for Permanent resident but before he can have Permanent resident,he will still have to get temporary resident which is good for one year. (That is if the application will be approved) by the way, his application was approved so he was issued CERTIFICATE OF RESIDENCE(TEMPORARY). Now, we submitted all the paperwork for his application for Permanent Residence. We hope to get the result this January.

Base on what you said, you are really apt to living here in the Philippine soon but be prepared because you will soon notice the difference living here from where you came from: GOOD LUCK

Hi Zyra

My G/f read your post. We both agreed that this is some of the best advice we have had soo far...it is very refreshing to hear from a Filipina on here who actually has done what we are setting out to do in PH.

We want to do something similar in terms of marriage. Sadly I have to come back after we marry next year (summer of 2007) and spend a year here to pay off a few debts and continue to save enough money to go back but hopefully by mid 2008 I will be in a position to do this to make the move.

I did appreciate your comment that I seem apt to llive there. Unlike some people here I am interested and respectful of your culture and when I was briely there in the suimmer I did feel that I fitted right in.

I am aware of how different things are.

Once again thank you for your advice.
regards
