Permission to get married
One of the things about two persons of different nationalities getting married is eligibility. As I am on a student visa, I would have had to apply for a certificate of approval from the Home Office before we can register our marriage in the UK. In Singapore, if David was on a
work permit, rather than an employment pass, he would also have had to apply for permission to get married. Luckily for us, we're registering our marriage in Singapore and that makes both of us eligible because we're both not already married, David's on an employment pass, and of course we're also not related in any of these degrees of prohibition. So, the marriage will be legal in Singapore and in the UK.
Of course, when my student visa runs out I'll still have to apply for a spouse visa when we return to live in the UK. But, it's still good news, and I can't wait for the day that I don't have to answer the same old 'why are you coming to this country?' question again at the airport!
