Not surprising. It happens to us all!

..what, even the moderators on this inimitable site..??

You can't 're-marry' in Morocco or Turkey as you are already legally married in Senegal. Also, marriage in Morocco is a long drawn out and complicated process for non residents. Within the paperwork, as a male you would need to obtain a notarised statement of religious denomination. However, as in ...

...also, yes i plan to go the the town hall here and have all relating documents stamped: legalised, recognised etc... and everything officially translated to English and Spanish, as they are currently in french.

i looked through many many posts last night and looked into / read-up on the apostille system and saw that senegal has not yet signed up to this although morocco snd turkey have. at 3am i was considering flying us to morroc or turkey to re marry there have the certificate "apostillesed" and move ...

... i have looked through lots of the posts... its late and I'm getting tired and can't see the wood for the trees! in the last link you sent it states :""Your spouse will need this to get a Spanish residence card from the Spanish Foreigners’ Office (Extranjería). Both you and your spouse will need t ...

..ok, i have had a quick look though these posts and it seems a bit of a catch 22...has anyone been through this and come out the end with a solution..?

..that would certainly be good enough for us, i was just a little worried that we could end up missing out on this option by a just a couple of weeks if everything changed quickly after the brevet vote... i have been to the Spanish embassy in dakar today, they were busy and could only answer a few ...

thats really great, thank you for bringing this to my attention...

I'm obviously a little worried due to the Brexit situation, i am going to start the process ASAP but i have heard it could be some time until UK/EU immigration actually changes...any thoughts on that..?

thank you, this is making very interesting reading, i was unaware of this directive, it could be perfect for my family... unless i am much mistaken and if so please correct me but it appears that i, as an EU citizen, have the right to go to the Spanish embassy in dakar tomorrow and begin the process ...

I know what you mean about mossies, I'm blood group O neg, and they love me, when I was in Siberia last year they bit me to buggery. Well they don't actually bite, just stick their nose things into your skin and fill up! I don't think they differentiate by blood groups. They love me as well and I'm ...

.. if we took this route it would be an authentic move of our "centre of life", I'm aware of the mass unemployment in Spain but i do still have a few friends and connections which could help us to get started.. if we had the option to stay in Spain for longer then going to the UK could even take a ...

having looked through this, assuming there is no major change in the next few months in UK / EU immigration law due to "Brexit", it appears to me that i could take my family to Spain for example, spend 3-4 months there, living together, and then i would be eligible to bring my wife back to the UK. i ...

...great, because i have had a quick look through it and there will be questions.!

... I will read through this, thank you for your help...

I would have thought that obtaining a visitors visa would have been easy as I assume there is a clause that guarantees that she will leave the country before the expiration of the visa...?? Or is it the case that once a person is in the country on a visitors visa they could then apply to stay due to ...

...can I assume from what you are saying that I would be difficult to get a visitor visa even for one or two months..?

At least with a short term visa we could visit my family...

My baby daughter's uk passport is in process...

Thank you for the fast responses...

Would I be able to bring her in on a family visitor visa for 6 months..? If so does anybody know if this is a lengthy process..?

Hi, thanks for the fast replies.. yes i was born in the UK. i haven't made any decisions about the future yet but it would be really great if i can get a British passport for her. we are all in the Gambia at the moment, where she was born, how do i go about obtaining a passport for her..? what does ...
