Hi, I'm new to this but would really like some advice, I have a partner who lives in Mexico I met him in April, he's been to the uk and me back n forth there, he wants to come and live and work here but the uk laws are very strict, so we made a decision I would go and stay there for 6 months we are looking to get married there, then after a few months return here to the uk, I have my own home and a job, is it possible for us to get married there and then come back here and start a life? If this isn't possible I would sell up and move there, advice on what to do, what I need anything really I would be so grateful, I feel as if I'm not getting any help here in the uk kind regards

Thank you kindly for your response, would you have any idea what paperwork I would need to get married in Mexico? I've been there and totally fell in love with the place, but concerned with all the paperwork and job prospects

I don't; my husband and I married in Chicago, but considering much of Mexico relies on tourism I can' imagine it's too hard. Again something your partner could look into on his end. It is very difficult to make a living where I am, but not so much everywhere I have heard, again, Suerte, paz, Abby

Hello Darielle,

Congratulations on finding love! Before you actually get married, speak with an immigration attorney in your country to learn how the immigration laws work in terms of marriage. Depending on that you both can plan accordingly. I think it is very important that you live in Mexico for a while first before you decide to get married and/or actually move there. After all, you will be uprooting your whole life! Although Mexico is a beautiful country, it is not for everyone. What part of Mexico will you be moving to? Good luck!!

Sorry cant help you with info on him moving to UK.He will have to go to the British Embassy or consulate in Mexico and they will give him the info.I know how you feel,you get different answers from different consulates and from immigration here in Mexico,they simply dont the rules.

Thank you I will get him to check this out but I'm sure he said he had to go to Mexico City to sort out visas, like I said so frustrating where no one will give us direct advice or help but thank you so much for your help😊

Yes maybe they only deal with visas in the embassy in Mexico City.The consulate in Cancun is probably to deal with british tourists,lost passports etc.

I would strongly advise you to visit Mexico first and to know some basic Spanish...

@Darrielle Hello, hope this message finds you. I am from the UK too and been living as expat abroad for quite sometime now until we decided to relocate to Mexico with my American husband. ***
