Getting Married in Philippines

Helpful Tips for Foreigners Marrying Locals

Are you a Filipino or Filipina planning to marry a foreign national? Or are you a foreigner wanting to get married with a local here in the Philippines? The whole thing can be painfully difficult. But, fret not, here is a link from the Bohol.ph website that discusses about the whole process. Here is the link.

Tips on the issue are enumerated although the writer, Jeroen Hellingman, cautions that his article is not a legal advise, marriage counseling, a wedding planning guide nor is it a guide about marriage of both locals.

He talks about beating red tap and bureaucratic snags, basic requirements, the wedding, after the wedding and more importantly visa application for the local to go to the spouse's country.

It would also be interesting to go over the comment section and read problems and stories posted by guests. Hellingman also tries to answer some of the questions. Plus, more links to other resources may be found on the page also.
