Getting Married in Hong Kong !
Thu, 2004-02-05 19:10 — JM
Hi
I wonder anyone can help us with some information.
My partner and myself are planning to get married in Hong Kong in
September 2004.
What are the processes for us to do this ?
I'm a British Citizen living in the UK and she's an Australian Citizen
living in the UK.
Do we need to be resident in Hong Kong for a period time ?
Or can anyone pass me any information that we need to arrange this all
Helpful advice etc all welcomed !
Planning to stay at the Peninsula and hire a Junk to do the ceremony or drinks - party post wedding.
Hi Luis and Anonymous
Hi Luis,
So you mean to say to be able to get married in HKG, both should have single status in NSO? My boyfriend status is still married but already separated from his former wife and now we would like to get married in HKG. The annulment cannot proceed yet to the former wife thus we consider to wed in HKG. So it is not possible? Please help.
Hi anonymous
As regards your question whether you can may a married person,,the question is yes..you can marry any person you like..
the question that you should be asking is will your marriage with a married person be valid..the answer is no..you marriage will be null and void since you married partner has entered a bigamous marriage..
assuming you get away with the marriage requirements in HK or in any country..you marriage will still be considered void here in the philippines..
the solution..your married partner should get an annulment or declaration of nullity in order validly marry another person again..

Greetings!
I am 24 yrs. old same age as my fiance I'm just wondering how can we get married in HONGKONG if we are living in MANILA, PHILIPPINES? We planned to get married there this coming DECEMBER 2008.
However, we had been there once to visit Hongkong Disneyland for one day and thats it then we went to Mainland China and Macau the following day, basically we are really not familiar with Hongkong..
Please let us know and give us complete knowledge:
1. What are the procedures?
2. Where is the exact location of HONKONG CITY HALL?
3. HOw can we get the certificate if we are staying in HOngkong for only 4 days?
4. If we get married for example today, when can we get the Marriage certificate?
Thank you very much for your help!,

My boyfriend and i are planning to get married in Hongkong due to the fact that there is no divorce in the Philippines. I am an australian citizen and working in London. My question is that if we get married in HK can i process the paper of my boyfriend in HK in order to join me in UK. I want to know the papers i needed to file in HK British High Commission.

getting married in hongkong
i have read your message that it is possible to marry anyone eventhough the person is still married. my partner and i plan to marry in hongkong but i am still married in the philippines. my ex and i spearated 4 years ago but we havent gone through annulment process as i plan to divorce him here in canada where i am already a permanent resident. i really dont mind if my marriage to my partner will be null and void at the moment, we can get married later when my status permits. we just want to get married (just for romantic purposes...of you may say...haha) and i was wondering if there is a way for us to do that? I would appreciate any advise. thanks
Married in Philippines, Marry again in Hong Kong?
As we've seen this question several times, it's worth directing readers to the Philippine e-Legal Forum. Among the many topics they cover, they look at divorce and annulment in the Philippines.
Also see the Hong Kong law relating to Bigamy.

Be married in HongKong
Hi Neth,
Are you really interested in getting married in HongKong? We can help you make it possible.
To give you an idea, if you want to get wed thru a civil celebrant, it will cost you as much as $5,105.00 HKD. You only have to go to HK at least a day prior to your wedding to appear before the city hall registrar. But you need not worry in preparing all documents. Feel free to contact me for more information. chinchinita@gmail.com

HK marriage
Hi Gary,
I just read some of the comments on this blog, and I have some questions about getting married in HK.
I'm a Filipina and my fiance is an american. We are planning to get married sometime next year. Maybe March. But I'm not sure what are the documents/ID/ forms needed to get marry there. We are both confused so we can;t set the exact date of marriage..(sigh)
Also, please advice some links on forms and documents needed.
Thank you so much.
