HI... i´m sorry to cause you any trouble, i´ve been reading all the posts for like an hour but i still have some doubts...

Im Argentinean (non-EU) and i´m planning to go to uk to get married with my Spanish girlfriend who is living there... i didn´t have enough time and money to apply for a fiancee visa so i´m goingwith a leave to enter (tourist) visa... She did her little research over there and went to the Spanish consulate and they told her that after we got married and we registered the marriage there they would give her "libro de familia" and that i would get immidiately my residency in uk and work permit...

After reading lots of webpages i´m not so sure about it...

Could you tell me in a first place if it´s going to be possible for us to get married in england? I´m thinking we might have to go to spain if we cant. She has been told at the register office that i have to live with her 7 days, and that i have to register myself as soon as i get there... and after 7 days we can apply for a marriage wich will take place 15 days afterwards... Is anything ímportant i´m missing?

But we want to live in england, so, will i be able to go from visitor visa to some kind of residency and work permit taking in account i´ll be applying from inside the uk?

What should i do?

I´m sorry to ask a question thats been asked before but im quite confused now...

Thank you for your time...

Max.

 

Hi, thank you very much for answering my questions....

And yes, i meant she is living in the uk right now, she's been living in UK for more than 5 years now, and i think she is a resident since she has her london address in her spanish passport... i'll ask her about it...

About the seven days... i'm guessing that showing my passport is enough to prove that i've been in uk for more than seven days, if not, how can i prove it?

And just in case...

I've been at the British Embassy and they told me that if i get married in UK with out a fiancee visa i will have to come back to Argentina to apply for a spouse visa... and after that i could go back to UK and that i'll have all the rights as my partner

So what you said about waiting for the spanish authorities to validate our new status as a married couple...

Does that means that i have to wait until it's validated by spanish authorities before i can aply for my spouse visa? or is the marriage certificate by itself enough?

Thank you again for your time...

Looking forward to hear more from you...

Max.
