Hi there and welcome to the forum.

Congratulations on your forthcomming wedding.

You don't mention how long you are planning to stay in the Philippines or whether it's to be a civil wedding or a Catholic Church wedding.

Also I can't give you any hints about paperwork you will need from the authorities in Sweden, you will need to research that for yourself.

Generally, if you can be very slick and well organised with the needed paperwork etc, and your plans work out smoothly and on target you should have no problems getting married within 14-21 timeframe.
Quite a number of people here have been fortunate enough to have achieved it in only 14 days.
21 days is on balance a little bit of a more relaxed approach with some slack built in for resolving problems without too much stress.

In principle the documents you need are:-

Birth certificate - original
Passport

CNI (or swedish equivalent) - (Certificate of No Impediment to Marry)
Present this document your Embassy in the Philippines ijn order to be issued a Philippine version called a Certificate of Legal Capacity to Marry.
This certificate is needed for the application of a marriage license.

You will also be required to obtain a your own CENOMAR (Certificate of No Marriage) from the Philippines NSO (National Statistics Office) so you might need to include this timing contingency as well.

Marriage License - Apply for this in your fiancée's home town at the registry office. (or locality of where marriage will take place)
You might also be requested to attend the "Pre-Marriage Seminar" counselling sessions prior to being allowed to be married. Check and ask when you apply for the marriage license

After you apply for the license there is a mandatory 10 day waiting period while the marriage banns are published

To apply for the Marriage License you should consider having the following:-

Your birth certificate
Your passport
Your C.N.I.
Your NSO CENOMAR (if needed, please check well beforehand)
Your Divorce decree asbsolute (if applicable)

Certificate of 'Pre-Marriage Seminar' (if needed, please check well beforehand)

Her N.S.O. birth certificate (This should be fresh from NSO on latest type of security paper. Check)
Her Passport (or other appropriate ID)
Her Barangay clearance (if needed, please check well beforehand)
Her community tax certificate (often called Cedula)
Her postal I.D. Address
Her cenomar
Her Parents signed advice form (for under 25 years)
Her Parents I.D.


Hot tip

Always take extra time to very carefully and very thoroughy check and read through all paper work at each step before signing anything. If there are any typing errors/mistakes/mismatches etc it can cost you dear in time and money.

Hottest Tip
Always smile and always remain relaxed, calm and cool.

Hope this writing helps your own research

You will need to allow time for your new wife to be issued with a residence permit for Sweden.
I'm sorry I cannot offer any assistance about that. You will need to contact the Swedish Embassy in Manila who will advise on documentation, processing and timing.

You are very fortunate not to be faced with the major challenges that us Brits must endure along with the very costly visa charges.

Yep....no wonder all the ex's relations decided to marry Swedes.

Even my son is going there for his free university education.

The thread title reminds of that comical sitcom 'allo allo'...remember the British undercover French policeman...hilarious!
