Hi everyone a few questions.. please help
I am a canadian sikh punjabi will be getting married to my husband (sikh punjabi) who is a indian citizen. I will be going in Feb of 2018.
Now my questions are
1. I need to apply for a visa to visit india-- Do I apply for a tourist indian visa and I can get married under the tourist visa category? or another category is required??
2. I did some google and found this info--- please read and can anyone clairify
"In India, civil weddings are governed by the provisions of The Special Marriage Act(1954). Under the Act, there’s a 30 day residency requirement, which means that either the bride or the groom has to be living in India for at least 30 days prior to applying to the local registry office to get married."
Question- My husband the groom has been living in india for more than 30 days- is that good? Or do I have to be in india for at least 30 days aswell?
3. Also read this
"In addition, evidence of eligibility to be married is usually required. Anyone who hasn’t been married should obtain a single status affidavit (in the US), a Certificate of No Impediment (in the UK), or Certificate of No Record (in Australia)"
Do I need to obtain a single status affidavit?
Please help thanks !!
