Marry Here Or There?

I get asked this question a great deal. Should he marry her in her home town or in a simple civil ceremony once she arrives in his country? Sometimes the writer gives me the timeline of their relationship and other times they get right to the heart of the question:

Hello ,can you please tell me the best way of getting married to a Filipino,is it best to marry there or here,or can you tell me where to get advise please.I’m a pensioner and already video chat for 2 months every day to a lady.
THANK YOU
In advance

Now apart from the fact they have never met and have only ‘video-chatted’, he is already considering marriage. This is such a big step and quite involved that I wrote an entire book about it, “Filipina 202 – How To Marry And Migrate Your Dream Filipina” . Nevertheless I replied:

Dear X, I go into this very important question in considerable detail in my eBook “Filipina 202- How To Marry And Migrate Your Dream Filipina”.

In a nutshell, marrying in the Philippines will be cheaper, make her happy as her family will be able to witness it and is just as legal as marrying her in your country.Which is my next question. Where are you from?

If a US citizen it is quicker to have her join you via K1 Fiance visa but even the K3 wait is under a year now. For Australia, UK and NZ and perhaps Canada I think it is the same processing period but the requirements of proving the relationship is genuine and ongoing might be stricter.

Give me more info and I can better answer the question for you.

I have yet to find a country that will allow you to ‘import’ your Filipina bride without ever having met her in person. Given how hard it is for single, young Filipinas to get tourist visas to anywhere other than ASEAN countries (Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand etc) this means in effect she has to come to you as a fiance or spouse. That means you must meet in person at least once.

Who is to say how much time any two people need to form the mindset that they wish to marry? Given the pace of modern living and telecommunications, 60 days of daily video chatting is as good as several months of dating two or three times a week, surely? This is opening another giant can of worms we will look at in other posts but for now, give some thought to this in case you are or might one day be in that situation.

Do you marry her in the Philippines or do you focus on getting her to your home town and then do it there when the fiance visa runs out? Which route and why?
