What documents are needed for marriage and citizenship for my spouse?
Hi, I am from West Bengal, and my partner is from Sri Lanka. What documents are required for my spouse, who holds Sri Lankan citizenship, for marriage registration in India? When can she apply for Indian citizenship? What documents does she need to stay in India after marriage until she obtains Indian citizenship?
For marriage registration of a Sri Lankan spouse in India, required documents include: passport, valid visa, proof of marital status, birth certificate, affidavit of single status, and photographs. She can apply for Indian citizenship after 7 years of marriage under the Citizenship Act, 1955. For staying in India, she needs a valid spouse visa, which requires marriage registration certificate, passport, and proof of relationship.
Sir, to marry and register in India, your Sri Lankan spouse needs a valid passport, visa, birth certificate, proof of residence, and an affidavit of marital status. After marriage she can apply for Indian citizenship after 3 years of residence. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with best course of action.
