If you need more info on this or any type of visa or license in the Philippines feel free to reach out to Heidi for a free consultation: cgconsulting.ph/chad Thanks for watching!

Heidi is so articulate. She talks fluent English, direct and precise on the subject.

That's one thing missing in my life. Having a judge deciding my life.

One of the most important documents she didn't mention is your gf will need to get a CENOMAR to ensure she isn't married as well. The Legal Capacity to Marry document for an American to marry you get from the U.S. Embassy. The fee is $50 USD or whatever the current pesos to USD rate is. At times, the U.S. Embassy will have quarterly outreaches to places like Cebu City, Angeles City and the Subic Bay area (SBMA). My wife and I got married in Olongapo City after attending an outreach to get the Legal Capacity to Marry (I am not sure of the actual name of the form). Also, one misconception foreigners have is that they think once they are married, they can get a visa and hop on the plane to the good old USA. NOPE......Doesn't work that way. Guys, guys, guys, make sure you get a CENOMAR. In my case, we went to the Olongapo City Hall, they gave us a package to complete (very easy) to follow. Once you submit the package, you will be issued a Marriage License on the 10th day. We will be celebrating our 10th Anniversity on February 14th, 2024.

Growing man promoting marriage @this point in life! Some of you never learn😮😮

A retired USA school teacher in Medellin, Colombia introduced me to two svelte, fit, vetted girlfriends in 2021 in Medellin, Colombia. Ages 40 & 33. I’m age 80, occasionally date one or the other to share joy, happiness and love on adventures in Colombia. I swim every day in some of the 10 pools at the Estadio Olympica Complex and do Zumba on Sunday mornings. My Airbnb cost $12 USD per night at 6 minute walk to the Olympica Complex. I haven’t yet found dental prophy cleaning as good as Green Apple (Ayala & Lapu Lapu). Medellín is a 3 hour flight from Miami.

Thank for the info. How long the process before the american get his lccm in us embassy? Thank you!

Hi Sir, I'm always watching expats blogger experience in the Philippines 🇵🇭. I'm so proud of the Philippines, especially when you talked about the beautiful places and tradition/culture of our country. Thanks for a wonderful video. I'm looking forward to more. Enjoy your stay. 😊

Talk abt investment visa/setup of company and if tht will allow the purchase of land etc like the condo options in next vid....thks

Great info! Obviously her accent she lived in the US or raised by at least 1 US parent.

Hi Chad! Interesting lady.

Took me a while to get my head around this (before watching this) but once it clicks it's quite simple

I have one question and one question only . Is all of paperwork I have bring from America does it have to be apostled ? and how long does the apostle last?

Hi. I just want to ask so during the probationary period of 13A Visa, so they have to stay in the Philippines for the whole 1 year during the probationary? What if we want to go on a trip outside the Philippines, would that affect the 13A Visa? Thank you. Very informative video.

I will be contacting you in a month or so, many topics for you to help me with. Just getting my ducks in a row here, then on my way

Great video

Wonder why the 13A is probationary for one year?

Do I need a legal capacity to marry paper from the United States to take with me to the Philippines or do I get that in the Philippines from the consulate in Cebu ?

If you get divorced in Phillipines is it 50/50 split even if you have money in the USA?

What if i don't have a birth certificate? Can i use my US passport? I've used that in the US in place of birth certificates. How long does the process of getting married take. Because as foreigners we don't have a lot of time when coming to the Philippines

Heidi beautiful smile!😀😀

Hey Chad, I have a few questions after watching this video. So my Filipina girlfriend and I live in the US with our son. She is a dual citizen. She has been divorced from her previous American husband here in the US for around 10 years now but is still married to him in the Philippines. Am I understanding that she can bring her US divorce papers to the Philippines to get her divorce processed there without him having to be there? Also, Can a US marriage license be used for the 13a and the Balikbayan Privilege or do those both require a Philippine marriage license or one or the other? We plan on moving there by 2026 Thank you

So if I divorce a filipina in US even though we were married and lived in the Philippines does she get half my money and properties?

That’s my late husband does before we get Married last 2018! He has to Make sure that he had all of those documents already then apply marriage license from city were I reside

Plaid Chad gettin’ the info..

Recognition of foriegn divorce took 1 year and 2k us dollar plus 5k pesos every court hearing . Took 1 year to get it done in the PSA

I'm in Angeles Phillipines Don't fall in love with a bar girl

So I have a question and I want to know once somebody gets a license to get married they have to be married by someone like you said a mayor or a preacher or a judge or whoever that is is that true if you just get the paper you're not married do you still have to be married by someone right

What about dual citizenship

Interesting, not mentioned new divorce law in Philippines?

I have a permanent resident card,but every year there it needs renewed

Is she from the US? Sounds like a native English speaker!

Hi Chad. Very useful information. So the 13A Visa needs to be renewed each 5 years? How much does the visa cost? Just a one-time fee for the 5 years? Thanks!

In the UK you need to be legally married for 2 year's + b4 you can apply for divorce and prove the Marriage has completely broken down and has no hope of saving said Marriage

You can get your Legal Capacity to Marry at the Embassy? Just wondering if you need to get in US or can get in Philippines?

Biblical marriage is best. Forget about the license, cenomar, priest or Mayor.

What if you don't have a birth certificate? What if your country of birth is different from your country of nationality? What if you have multiple nationalities?

And here's what the minister said to me at start of my 2006 wedding at Sitio Lucia Resort, Bulacan Philippines.... "Sir, before we begin may I remind you that this is not the United States, and here in the Philippines Sir, there is no divorce. Do I make myself clear before we begin?" Got it Sir ha Could write a book on this subject Patience Grasshopper Love the Philippines! From Oregon USA

One of the main reasons for divorce in the US is money related. At what point do you disclose and discuss personal finances with a Filipina? Obviously, it should be discussed after developing some level of trust - but what if the level of offset is overwelming? During a prenup?

Good afternoon sir chad i am new here and like the way you are exploring here in the Philippines. Looking for a soulmate 😁, from Dumaguete. God bless.

She mentioned it's legal for the foreigner to get a divorce from their Filipina from within their home country. Does this mean that both the foreigner and the Filipina had to be married/ and or live in the foreigner's home country? Or can a foreigner obtain a divorce from their Filipina even though they were married in the Phillipines, and still live in the Phillipines?

What documentation that says I am single? How do I get that?

Why not try coming to Iloilo

You both are a cute couple I wish you both many years of great marriage.

But does she still get rewarded with cash and prizes when you or the wife from the Philippines divorces in the USA?

Maybe Heidi can inform the government of the Philippines exactly how this marriage approval stuff is supposed to work--they seemed to be very confused about it. Watch the video from Gio in the Philippines and Old Dog Paul for all the issues that came up causing delay after delay for getting married in the Philippines & getting all the documentation.

Chad, the U.S. has a lot of influence over the Philippines and Filipinos, and the people love American culture more than any other cultures outside of their own.

So this permanant 13A visa that you jave to renew every 5 years doesn't sound permanant. I have also heard the wife can basicly cancel it at any time. Is that real? And if you are able to visit other countries does that mean the Filipina can leave too? Hear how it can be very difficult to get permission for the woman to leave the Philippines. Merry Christmas. God Bless.

Wait so if I’m divorced in the US but technically still married in Mexico to the same person I’m divorced with, they can see that in the Philippines? Ugh I don’t have time to go to México and do all that first!😩😩😩 I just thought I needed to prove my divorce in my home country. I have so many regrets!😣😣

It’s kind of funny I have the requirements for marriage from city health in Cebu city and the certificate of eligibility to marrie . is issued by the foreigners, diplomatic official in the Philippines like at the consulate in Cebu You can’t get one of those in the United States. They don’t keep statistics of that.

But after the divorce in the west, is the Filipina divorced in the Philippines now?

Step 1. See a psychiatrist. Seriously. It's a small investment to get an opinion on your mental health. There is no rational reason to get married for the partner who's bringing assets to the deal. The psychiatrist hopefully will look into if you're trying to buy love. That's regardless of whether your Filipina loves you or not. Even if your Filipina completely loves you and will stay with you forever if your brain thinks you need to buy her love it's going to cause problems down the road.

The USA Govt does not provide a legal capacity to marry. So I heard you have to see a filipino lawyer to draw up a document

It's sad that some filipinas don't know anything about love Love isn't selfish.

No no no please. Don’t

Would a Single Status Affidavit or a A Certificate of Non-Impediment work? Such as, No Record of Marriage Certificate of Freedom to Marry Single Status Affidavit Certificate of No Record - Marriage Affidavit of Single Status Affidavit of Marriageability Certificate of No Public Record

would a divorce decree,be proof your single ? what and where do i get a legal capacity to contract marriage ?? I dont want to make a trip back home just for a document,,

Heidi is very beautiful and presents herself very well. I wonder if she could help me out to marry her. Such a great lady.

No divorce, good luck getting an annulment. Any property you buy belongs to her. Unless you buy a condo. If you break up, spousal support is mandatory. Until your marriage is annulled. If you break up. And you fall in love and shack up. She can have both of you arrested l. Good luck

CFO will f up all your plans. I speak from experience The last thing before she is allowed to leave country even if she has visa. And the thing no one tells you about

prove of being single??? how?

You need to know this before getting married in the Philippines. Don’t

You married a Family Clan........

That’s not true about divorce, only the one of their country will be divorced, not the Filipina

A lot of Filipino couples have lived as husband and wife without a government slave contract for centuries. And who cares about a 13a visa...it protects you against absolutely nothing!!! If anything, simply have a nice ceremony with video and photos, but skip the BS legal documents crap. That piece of paper has never prevented the physical separation of couples. There are millions upon millions of separated yet legally married Filipina mothers there suffering in loneliness.

There is no advantage to get married here..... stay single

You people only speak about Americans or Canadians, Russians Ect. What about S.Africans or Namibians Ect. Or is it about the Euro or the dollar. Is our money too weak!?

DO NOT GET MARRIED!!! Especially in the Philippines!!!

Curtisake7431, you are the monster, I haven't been able to get a straight answer until I read your remark here. Ms Heidi is the Cats Meow. ❤❤❤

Bullshit..my exhusband, married a Phillippino 20 years ago while married to me ....he was a waste of fucking fresh sir

This is a scam. Disguising a lie by legally getting married. That woman is perpetuating and encouraging this type of criminal activity legally.

Marry a Philippino? Silly talk ..why buy the cow when you get the milk for free....

Bring back Islam

Where do you get certificate of no marriage?
