I am a UK national, Germany and English parents, I am engaged to a Japanese woman, and the plan is I am moving to Germany middle of next year.
Now how do I go about, getting married in the UK, then both of us moving to Germany.
From what I understand, which isn't a lot, the plan is she get's a marriage visitors license, we get married, after 5 months we then move to Germany providing we can get a extension on the 3 months.
Sounds simple, but I don't believe it is that simple, or there will be restrictions.
She is 32, I am 30, she has no prior marriages, clean record etc, and will be staying with me and my parents in the house, so we can easily support her, as the house is fairly large etc.
For starters, with the application for marriage visa.
They don't do bank statements in Japan, but they do bankbooks, similar, but the ATM prints onto the book it self.When you apply you’ll need to provide:
a current passport or other valid travel identification
2 passport size colour photographs
evidence that you can support yourself during your trip, eg bank statements or payslips for the last 6 months
details of where you intend to stay and your travel plans - you shouldn’t pay for accommodation or travel until you get your visa
Do payslips and bank statements have to be translated as well? Or is it just stuff like passport etc?
she will be coming late December/Early January, so we will do the application in November, then get her to the application center in Tokyo to do biometrics etc.
The things I am worried about is, if she is accepted (can't really see a reason why she wouldn't be) and she comes to the UK, we get married, and then are we able to move straight to Germany (if we apply for a visa there), or does she have to go straight back to Japan, then go to Germany?
How does it work, if anyone has experience of this, or some good advice, tips, details that I may be missing, or neglected to mention because my head is fried, it would be much appreciated!!
Thanks!!
