    Spouse or fiancé

    Can anyone offer me any advice please.

    I am a brittish citizen and met my Filipino partner 2.5 years ago when we worked together on a cruise ship. We are planning on marrying and want to settle here in the uk. We are struggling to come to a decision if it would be better to marry in the Philippines and then apply for a spouse visa or if we should apply for a fiancé visa and then marry here in the uk.

    Can anyone offer me some advice on this?

    Thanks

    Opinion is split. But I think that Spouse visa gets the edge.

    The fiancee route is more expensive in terms of combined visa and FLR fees. And with marriage in the Philippines it is great for relations with the inlaws before your other half leaves for the UK. And a honeymoon in the Philippines also surely helps tip it in the favour of the Spouse visa.

    In our case we had no choice as the mother in law insisted marriage in the Philippines. She had to give her consent for us to marry.

    I think Terpe put out good thread on this topic. See below.
