Do you have some information you can pass on. If so please post it here.
I cannot see how anyone can first get married then do the paperwork later. Perhaps you would like to explain that as well.
Also, please do not post any misleading information that may get people into trouble with the authorities.

Thank you.

Please mind your language. How can you say I post misleading advice, for what benefit then? Mind your language.
If you marry in two weeks,i am saying you might not be able to file your paper to the home affairs but your partner do it for while you zoom to wherever. You don't permission to marry,if it I'd for the right reasons.

There was nothing wrong with my language.And your original post only stated "paperwork later " nothing about not having enough time to get paperwork sorted so the assumption is that get married and then sort out the paperwork.
