Re: Can we get married in the UK? U.S. + EU(spanish) in the

According to the general rule, you do not need to be resident to wed someone, so a tourist could qualify. However, usually, in order to give notice at the Register Office you must have lived in the district for seven days immediately before the notice is given. Your partner should also have lived for the same seven days at his/her address.

Therefore, as your partner is a resident in UK and is able to prove her address, you shouldn't have any problem to wed. If you choose the town hall where your partner lives, you need to visit the Register Office and give notice of your intention to marry in person.

After that, the rule will depend of several factors:
- should you decide to become a Spanish citizen, you might have to wait several months before the Spanish immigration office register your marriage, and therefore you will need to renew you temporary visa (ask information at the Spanish embassy - if it's a Shengen visa, or at the British embassy). But after that you will have the rights of any EU citizen.
- should you decide not to become a Spanish citizen, as a partner of a EU citizen you are probably allowed to benefit the EU rules for citizens... However I am afraid I do not know much on that and again you will have to as the British embassy.

Best of luck
