In today’s world, people are increasingly traveling not only for leisure but also for work or to pursue their dreams of living in a new place. As a result, international marriages are becoming more common.
When newlyweds plan to live in the country where they got married, the main challenges typically arise during the preparation for marriage registration. This includes gathering the necessary documents for the partner from another country, which may vary depending on the specific regulations of each state. However, what should a couple do if they decide to move to another country over time?
This issue requires careful consideration, and there may be several possible solutions. One option is to apply for a visa or obtain a work or study status in the new country for one of the spouses. Another possibility is to seek consultation from immigration or legal authorities who can provide information on the necessary permits and procedures for relocation.
It’s important to keep in mind that each case is unique, and the solution may vary depending on many factors, including the destination country, immigration status, legal status of the marriage, and more. Therefore, it is essential to seek professional consultation and comply with the laws of both countries for a successful move and integration into the new environment.
The need for the legalization of a foreign marriage arises when a young couple intends to enjoy the rights and guarantees provided by law for marriage. These rights include inheritance rights, medical rights, parental rights, and others.
In Ukraine, the main document regulating family relations is the Family Code, and for international couples, the provisions of the Law “On Private International Law” also apply. An important aspect of this law is that, according to part 1 of Article 58, a marriage contracted abroad between Ukrainian citizens, or between a Ukrainian citizen and a foreigner, or between a Ukrainian citizen and a stateless person, is recognized as valid in Ukraine, provided that the requirements of the Family Code of Ukraine regarding the grounds for invalidating the marriage are met.
