Quoting gusel_kiz: Quoting robyn  : Quoting gusel_kiz: And whats this about a sponsor?
What kind of a sponsor? What does the sponsor have to do? |
look on www.ukvisas.gov.uk.it tells you more  basically a sponsor sponsors the person visiting the UK and gives details of their relationship with the visitor, if they have met before etc etc. If you are sponsoring trhem finiancially during their visit then you will also need proof of this and if you are intending to marry then he will need a marriage visa, without it you can't get married here |
well, there is no financial problem whatsoever so i wont worry about that too much.
and i have researched this online today and it says that there is no special visa required.. just an ordinary one is fine apparently...
im getting really confused now... and ill have a look at that site too but maybe ive looked already hehe |
no foreign nationals are allowed to marry in england without holding an appropriate marriage visa and asking permission from the home office to marry.
Marrying in the UK - Frequently Asked Questions (06/01/06)
From 5 December 2005, if you are subject to immigration control and you want to marry or register a civil partnership in the United Kingdom (UK) you will need to follow the procedures below. You must either:
hold a fiancé(e) or visitor - marriage / civil partnership entry clearance (visa), or
hold a Home Office certificate of approval*, or
be settled in the UK (e.g. indefinite leave to remain)
You must also give notice to marry / register a civil partnership to a registrar at one of a number of designated register offices throughout the UK. Below is a brief summary of the rules. This page explains how they apply to you and what you must do.
Am I subject to immigration control?
If you are not an EEA or Swiss national**, and you need permission to enter or remain in the UK, you are subject to immigration control.
You are not considered to be subject to immigration control if you:
are a British citizen
are an EEA or Swiss national**
you have a certificate of entitlement in your passport demonstrating that you have a right of abode in the UK.
There are some other people who are not subject to immigration control because of the work they do.
* The Home Office certificate of approval represents the written permission from the Secretary of State to marry in the United Kingdom. The need for this written permission was introduced in the Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants) Act 2004.
**An EEA national is a person from any country which is part of the European Union (EU), or from Norway, Liechtenstein or Iceland.
I am overseas. Will I still need a visa if I am only visiting the UK to get married / register a civil partnership?
Yes. You will need to have a visit - marriage or visit - civil partnership visa. Without this, the registrar will not be able to take your notice of marriage / civil partnership. This condition applies even if you are from a country where you would not normally require a visa to come to the UK.

Usually you just bring the invitation from your sponsor and their contact information but it will only be you going to the consulate. They need to make sure that you are going there for the right reasons (ie. don't intend to disappear or cheat the system somehow when you get there). Provide them with as much information as possible so they will get the impression that you're both professional and serious about it.

Huh? The sponsor needs to go to the consulate as well?
Sorry gusel_kiz maybe there are some special rules regarding the UK. You should probably just listen to Robyn
