I am a South African citizen and live in the UK at moment. I have a Working Holiday Visa which is valid until March 2008. My boyfriend is a Spanish who is working in Spain. I am a man and we want become as a married gay couple. We want plan to marry and I want to go to live in Spain. Will Spanish law allow gay wedding? Could you tell me please, what will be the procedure for me to obtain spanish citizenship. How long will it take?
There’s a lot involved in the process, too much to just plop down here in a quick reply. I think you need to do more research to get an idea of what the steps are (all of which is outlined on the site here).
Yes, gay marriage is legal in Spain. As a South African though, you’ll have some problems getting a visa, which is the first step to moving here. What is your boyfriend’s citizenship?
Hey, thanks for your respond. My boyfriend is Spanish citizen. He live in Spain. I don’t know where to find the right, proper information about gay marriage visa between my as South African citizen and Spanish citizen. Do I allow to work in Spain? I want get know more about visa process details & also conditions of gay marriage visa. Can you please give me more other good relevant website address?
