you could be right, I've been to Manila and the guards will not even let you in the airport without a passport/air ticket.ciaramc wrote:Obie I think you see everything in black and white....and immigration certainly don't see it that way they see lots of grey....it will be difficult for the OP to get his wife on a flight without a visa (maybe not impossible). And since she is pregnant why risk it...the visa should be issue free and at an accelarated process. Any way good luck let us know how you get on.....oh and congrats on the baby!
Obie, CoA for marriage is free now and even the most liberal CoE vicar will ask to see proof of legality now for agreeing to marry you.Obie wrote:You are too kind Andy.
I am sure you did lots of research as well which enabled you to make an informed choice.
I have had several debate on the forum about the UK's reluctance to adopt the Schengen Visa policy. I could not think of any reasonable explanation for why they haven't , and are adamant that they wouldn't.
It might be they probably want you to look closer to home for a future partner (they don't want you to dare look outside the gene pool).
They seem to be imposing lots of draconian rules for Brits who are marrying someone from overseas at present.
If your wife was in the UK with you, it would be impossible for you to marry her without a document from the Home Office, allowing you to do so, the document takes almost 3 months to obtain if you are successful and cost about £ 60.00. It is called a Certificate of Approval. You will only be exempted if your Marriage will be done at a Church of England church.
Does this make any sense to anyone?no restrictions for you, but for her it is difficult. She needs a special invitation from the police office in Bulgaria and certified by a Notary Public in order to apply for tourist visa "C", as she has no status in the UK.
