What is a Cedula? Sorry for all the questions but this is all new to me. Basically we need to choose a venue for the marriage and then ask them what we need before the ceremony and then set out gathering all the evidence? We can pre-prepare and get some of this beforehand though.
If the local authority is demanding one from me, how do I go about getting one?
They really teach you about all that? Hopefully I don't have to sit through a sex-ed class. Had enough of that when I was in school, haha. I suppose it could be good for young couples though.

I forgot to ask...but when you go to the British embassy with your affidavit...do you get the certificate straight away? Is this called a CNI or something??

Yes, they will give you the document during the appointment... and a letter to show to any Phils local registrar not up to speed with current British documents.

Cedula is a community tax certificate. Your gf is the one who can get it. She'll just have to go to their city hall and get one.

For your cenomar (or Certificate of No Marriage), your gf can get one for you from NSO. This is just to make sure that you are single and not currently married in the Philippines.

CENOMAR's can be ordered online here:-

By coincidence we popped down to our Barangay Office and got a CEDULA for my wife today. It's still a much demanded ID here.
Securing ID's and proof of address or change of address can be quite time consuming here. As I've discovered.
Thankfully though it's not at all expensive. Just a few Peso
Even for certification, notarisation affidavit etc it's really very low cost.

Thats good that they will issue one in the meeting. One less thing to be waiting around for. Presumably if we get everything beforehand the only document we need to wait for is the marriage license.

Might as well get a CENOMAR for myself too, thanks for the info. If you get one of these does that mean I don't need to go to the embassy with an affidavit?

Cenomar is completely different from the affidavit that you need from the embassy. You have to do both.

Some of the needed documents have an expiry.
Check which ones before getting them.
6 months is the usual validity period

3rd September 2016 #42
Thanks for the warning on this. Maybe I will have a look at collecting them in November/December time if the wedding will be in February.
So can I confirm the process as being this:
Take all my documents and affidavit to embassy and get CNI (is that what its called)
Take CNI and all other documents for me and my wife to local town hall and get certificate of marriage (pay for expidited process)
Get married!
I'm going to be there for 30 days starting at the end of January and running all through February, that should give plenty of time to get the CNI and marriage licsense (as long as I have these appointments in the first few days already pre-booekd) and then have the marriage on one of the last few days befroe I leave.
Also, the flights I have been looking at would mean that my return flight would be at 12:15am on the 31st DAY of my stay!! Would this be allowed as long as I am at the airport and clear security checks on the 30th day (last day allowed without a visa)? I asked the embassy this in London and they said to contact the department of immigration. When I go to their website it doen't load.

Make a plan.... with dates.
Organise your documents.
Book appointment slot at the Embassy in Manila to coincide with your arrival best as possible.
Organise the wedding date early. Important as sometimes it's tricky to find someone available for the wedding.
30 days should be plenty.....but do have a prepared plan and a check list.
Double check each and every document for any errors and spelling mistakes at the time of issue and get corrections made at that time.

Where does it state that for certain? If I have it wrong it could have a massive impact on any potential returns to the country if I accidentally outstay my welcome/
The wedding itself and dates should be set well in advance. All I need to worry about is getting the actual marriage license. Good to know 30 days will be enough. Cheers.

It's not that I don't believe you. It just seems like the kind of thing that I should be 100% about before risking it.
I've been trying to contact them but their website doesn't load. Tried it on loads of different devices and asked my fiance to try accessing it in the Philippines but no luck. Good to hear you did it all in 14 days. I'm sure I can manage in 30.

If you are not sure, you can extend your visa on arrival at the airport. When you show your passport just say I want to extend my visa, and you will be directed where to go.

Loads of people have done it (what jonnijon was saying). You have to pay a fee though. My husband has done it thru the hotel reception where we once stayed and we only have to wait a day at an extra fee.
Regarding Brexit, visa processing for non-EU residents won't be affected in my opinion. It's already hard enough as many would say. Brits taking non-EU spouse/partner here are mainly scrutinised more compared to the ones from EU countries. You need to have plenty of money to be able to nowadays.-=rayna.keith=-

Haha, that's great to know. Seems like it's just an exercise in filling out s form and paying a fee. I might just do that if I can't find concrete confirmation of the rule. Can you remember how much the fee was exactly?
And as for money, you're right about that. I wouldn't be able to do it if I wasn't still living at my parents house and could save some money specifically for this purpose.

We paid around PHP3,500 that time (that's including the fee charged by the hotel).
According to Google:
The cost for this first extension is 3,030 Pesos. When you are already 59 days in the Philippines and want to stay a bit longer, then your regular extension series starts. You have to show up at an office of the Bureau of Immigration a couple of days before your Visa Waiver expires.

You can get a 59 day visa by calling Philippine Embassy London and you will get it within three days, they will explain what to do. You pay your fee, send a prepaid addressed envelope and Passport, 'Bingo' your visa and Passport arrive more quickly than you can say Jack Robinson. Tel, 02074511814, 02074511805 or 02074511800. Good Luck
