Visa for Unmarried Same Sex Couple
 

Hello everyone. I know my case is a bit unusual but I'm a filipino and currently engaged ro my british fiancé for almost two years now. Our 2nd year in our relationship will be on march 2018. We just want to ask some question, same sex marriage is not yet legal here in the Philippines but I've read a post here a long time ago saying we can do our marriage in the British Embassy here in Manila. Is it possible? And anyone who can help us personally who can answer my several questions? Thank you so much for any help and acceptance. :))

Yes, you can get married at the British Embassy in Manila.

Hi BritInParis thank you so much for your response. Just want to know.mwhat do you think will be the best. Married here in Philippines then apply for spouse visa or apply for fiance then FLR?. Tnx a lot...x

It's entirely up to you however getting married in the Philippines first and then applying for a spouse visa for the UK would be both cheaper and involve less paperwork.

Awww i see.. thank you so much again. BritInParis. We really dont have an idea that its possible to get married here cause we keep thinking that the same sex marriage here in Phil is still not legal... thank you so much... I'll talk to my partner about it.. unfortunately he just comeback to UK yesterday from here :( .

While your marriage at the Embassy will be recognised by UK law, it will not be recognised in the Philippines.

Yeah.. it's okay as long as we both now that we get married and we can use that also for applying visa..
