My girlfriend is from Costa rica but lives and studies in DR. she has a costa rican passport.
Im from the Uk and have a UK passport.

Does anyone know the best way to get married. shes looking at living here permanently from next april time. But if she comes on a visiting or work visa, she cant then cross the application and apply for marriage visa and settlement.
Also it seems if she says she is from costa rica, she doesnt even need a visa, but as soon as we say we'd be flying from DR, it changes and says she does, no matter where she is from.

How about if we married in DR, then came back to UK, can she come back as my wife without a visa and apply? Im so confused, the visa website is so complicated !

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

She does not need to Visa to travel to the UK if she holds a Costa Rican passport. Why not let her just come to the UK and get married there?
