Can my friend marry in Spain being illegally here?

[Marta]

Hello,

Theoretically this is possible; however you are going to encounter many difficulties. In any case the EU member ( your partners) will need to be resident in the town you plan to marry in. Also ask your partners to check with the civil registry and / or church, as the requirements could vary slightly.

Hello,

As long as your future husband is a EU national and resident in Spain, you will be able to request your residence permit based on his. It is not necessary to prove that he is currently working.

hi mart,

i really need your advice. im an aupair, and i have a belgian bf and we are already 1yr and 1/2 with our relationship, we suppose to do wettelijk samenwonen before my contract ends which is APRIL 2013, but we change plan, because he dont want me to work in black but i need to save money to be able to go to school (nursing degree) so my diploma will be equivalent here.

then we plan not to so the samenwonen and wait for a year to get married, so i can save money while im working in black. will it be possible for us to marry? even i will be illegal? because my residence Id is only valid till April 2013.

hope you can help us with our situation.
