Marry in NI or UK

Post by martella » Tue Jul 01, 2008 12:23 pm

Hi everyone,
Just need some advice regarding marrying Irish Citizen.
I'm Malaysian and meet my fiancé 2 years ago in Ireland while I'm still studying, finish study and I'm in Malaysia at the moment. We thinking to get marry in UK or NI because according to sources the procedure much more easier to us especially for me and less time consuming .In NI we can apply to get marry via post so I don't have to enter the country just to apply and we can apply in UK to get marry while we are there, just need to be in UK in 7 day period with prove etc hotel bills as far as we understand.
The questions still in our mind:
1-Should my fiancé apply fiancé visa for me even though I did not need visa to enter any EU country.
2-If so what type of evidence can I give to prove that I was legally enter the country etc letter or passport just enough.
3-Do we need a letter from Civil Registrations office to show to Immigration officer in the airport that we enter the country to get marry.
4-What types of prove do we need saying we are together ( FYI we lived together in Ireland in 1 year period does this help as a prove).
Picture, letter what ever necessary and what about interviewing?
5-What should I do after we already married, get back to Malaysia and apply spouse visa or just enter Ireland with married certificate, do you think it is easier for me to get spouse visa while I'm in Ireland.
6- Just a concern regarding time that I need to wait to get spouse visa or stamp without working.


To get marry in Ireland need me to stay in the country at least 3 month. can't do that because I'm working at the moment and would like to keep my jobs until everything settle and confirm, due to living funds after I came to Ireland and find a jobs. Just heard about Irish economy, and it not good lately.

And to get marry in Malaysia also not our options because of muslim country ,not that my family object us to get marry just because my fiancé need to learn about Islam prior a wedding and I would prefer for my fiancé to convert in own will.

Please tell us what to expect and if our informations so far useful.

If you are not planning to settle in the UK after marriage, then you should apply for a Visit for marriage entry clearance before entering the UK.

I assume you are a muslim? how are you going to get married whether in uk or ireland w/o a wali?

or are you going to get a wali in uk or ireland?

also, i wonder how are you going to register your marriage in msia if you were to get married abroad?

do you know what if you get married abroad, you have 6 months period to register your marriage in JPN (and i dont think msia embassy accept it, last time i checked, they dont) else your marriage will be 'null & void' / single status under msia law. so, u will need to fly back to msia within 6 months of the registration to have your marriage lawfully registered in msia and by then i think you will still need to deal with jab islam.
( tho do call up the JPN to confirm, last time i checked, i was told so)

"And to get marry in Malaysia also not our options because of muslim country ,not that my family object us to get marry just because my fiancé need to learn about Islam prior a wedding and I would prefer for my fiancé to convert in own will. "

msia is a moderate country and we are not a muslim country despite malay race being the majority. it is because the jabatan islam require your partner to familiarize with the religion and it has nothing to do with a country!. dont blame the country. seek out jabatan islam and get them to change the rules and one can married a muslim w/o converting at 'force.'

my chinese national friend married her muslim boyfriend w/o needing to convert.. now that is freedom of religion isnt?
