British getting married in Venezuela, what docs do I need?

Hi, I am a British citizen just returned to the UK. I'm planning to marry my spouse at some point this year (depending on covid situation). I have the opportunity of a self-employed position as a live-in carer. If I start work in July 2020, by April 2021 I will have reached the financial requirements to sponsor my spouse for his visa. My question is in two parts: 1) I will have only been working 9-10 months of the year. Does this still count as the "full" financial year (since I will have reached the threshold)? 2) Can I submit a self-assessment for the tax year 2020 - 2021 at the beginning of April? And can I use that self assessment straight away in order to apply for the spouse visa? (i.e. do I have to wait for it to be approved/processed or anything?)

I suggest you read Section 9 (page 58 onwards) of the Appendix 1.7 document link below to understand what is required for self employment evidence. It is harder than being a normal PAYE employee.

Your most recent financial year will be April 20-April 2021 and as long as you have earned the required amount during those financial year then you should be fine. You must have evidence on going self employment at the date of the application.

You can apply after file for your self assessment tax return probably May 2021.

Hi, I'm a British woman planning to marry my Venezuelan fiance in November in Venezuela. As far as I know I need a copy of my birth certificate apostled here in the UK, a certificate of no impediment apostled. Do I need them both translated too? Do I have to do this in Venezuela or can I do it here? If here, where can I go to get this done?

Do we also need to announce the engagement /wedding with the newspapers? Wasn't really clear on that bit.

Apart from my passport, is there anything else I need?

If you're asking about what documents you will need to get married in another country, I have absolutely no idea and this will likely depend on the country. Might be the wrong forum for that.

If you're asking about what documents you will need to get a spouse visa having gotten married in Venezuela, you will need to provide evidence you’re in a civil partnership or marriage that’s recognised in the UK (typically a marriage certificate) and a certified translation of any document that is not in English or Welsh as well as details any people you or your partner were previously married to, in a civil partnership with or had children with and evidence of marriages ending, for example a divorce certificate.
