In Topic: Married Whilst On A Visit Visa

So is it the intention that breaches the terms of a general visit visa or the act itself? If someone enters the UK with a general visit visa without any intention of marrying; but then decides they do want marry whilst there, can they legally do so and if they do, have they breached the terms of their visa?...

I refer the honourable gentleman to my earlier response.

Intention is the key. Once someone enters the UK, intentions, and therefore concommitant actions, might change, but that doesn't per se place them in breach of their immigration conditions. Anyone in the UK who is able to marry, can marry. So, TVE's punter did nowt wrong. She applied for a 'general' visit visa, entered the UK, post-entry decided to get married and did so: nowt wrong with that.

It depends at which point the intention to marry is formed.

If the intention exists at the time of the visa application, then a 'marriage visit' visa should be sought, but if only a 'general' visit is intended, and once in the UK, the idea of marriage crops up, then no further formality is required (other than the normal bits and pieces).

Simples!

See the European Court of Justice findings in the case of Zambrano.

And having a son makes it all a bit different in that we don't want him going in to the national service lottery; the corollary being that we'll have to pay someone off to get him absolved.

The reality is that our son will eschew his Thai nationality should those authorities make it too difficult for him to stake his claim to it. After all, it's not the be-all-and-end-all: just something that's "nice" to have.
