    Hello there,

    We are a couple, myself, Ben, a UK citizen, and Tiffany, an Australian. Currently we work in France, Tiffany has a French working holiday visa, and has completed her two year UK visa.
    We are engaged and plan to marry in September 2007 in France.
    We wish to stay and work inFrance in the intervening time.

    We have no problems signing the marriage papers now, and blessing the marriage later, if this changes things.
    My main questions are, once we get the ball rolling, how soon is Tiffany able to work? Is it wiser to sign the papers in the UK? Are there any loop holes in the sysem enabling an extension of Tiffany's visa? (the consulate has been less than helpful).

    Thankyou so much for reading, and even more if you can help us out!

    Sorry, I should have been a little clearer.
    Tiffany's french working holiday visa expires in October, however we wish to stay on and work in France as I have already been offered a position.
    We have looked into the long stay visa for defactos to EU citizen but perhaps we can just extend the current visa????
    Any Ideas???

    I dont know anything about French working holiday visas.
    You can try defacto.
    If you were married all this would be easier.

    What can you tell us about marriage in France. To get married in Uk Tiffany will need to travel back to Oz to apply for a fiance visa. Does the same rule apply in france????

    perhaps it would be a whole lot easier for us to go and do a civil marriage in Australia because it seems all avenues lead towards having to apply for visas etc from there. for example to apply for long stay visa in France needs to be done from Sydney. Could be done in Uk but then need a residency permit which funny enough you need to get from Sydney. :rolleyes:
    Fortunately Australia dont have residency requirements for marriage so i might look further into that
    thanks for all the help

    Not necessarily.
    If she was married to EU you could apply while in France and subsequently move to UK using EU law.

    I was contemplating getting married under French law - it's a nightmare - and I have French nationality! I went to my mother's town hall in France and was told that to marry in France you need to have been resident in that area (yourself, not your family) for a certain number of months. Also, you need to submit a file of paperwork a few months beforehand to the French, very complex and time-consuming, before they'll even considering accepting your marriage. Medical checks, character witnesses, landlord/solicitor statements, you get the idea. I lived in France for a whole year, but they said I hadn't stayed there for enough consecutive months because I visited my partner in the US for two weeks - just trying to be difficult. In my experience anything administrative is usually fraught with hassle when it comes to French beaurocracy. I don't know if the Civil Partnership (PACS) is any easier - it may be worth investigating. Good luck![/code]

    Rubish... a lot of people marry where one of the parent lives, not where they live themselves, because it is easier and nicer to arrange for the wedding ceremony... aaah even in the French administration sometime they don't know what they are talking about ;-)

    Regarding the paper work, that's true that you have to fill forms. It's not that difficult...except one: the birth certificate. For French nationals, it's easy, but for foreigners, it might be tricky to have that, even on time. Let's think about a bride born in Malaysia 30 years ago and that need a birth certificate... :x Fortunatly sometime you find a civil servant that is helpful and bend the rules...
