Anyone think this will not end badly?

He'll have to leave the UK and apply for a fiance visa, it's impossible in-country unless there's a disaster in the applicants country or something. You can't even switch in-country from a valid visit visa either, though we don't know the Turkish lad's visa status originally, probably one of those EFTA arrangements UK has with Turkey, somekind of work/business visa arrangement no doubt heavily abused, given the number of kebab shops.....

More likely a Portuguese ID card

I thought you were advocating leaving the mucky europeans alone...

Alright, Mozambique then. Or Brazil, or Argentina. Lots of booty there.

I'd have to ask CM for my balls back and I don't think that'd be a goer.

What really gets to me about EU visa requirements is not that you have to earn a minimum income to get a visa for a young bride from some non-EU country; it's that you can't bring in several of them if you earn several times the minimum income for getting them visas.

Yeah, I asked her what she kept in that little cupboard next to the bed but she wasn't telling.

Oi AP, I won't mention that Italian lad that you're morally corrupting.

No, he was well corrupted before I found him. (he worked in London for about 4 years)

That girl can keep a secret.

I know - if I could only figure out a way to tap into this source of cash.

Easy, Russian proxy, create a profile on any dating site, wait for the Americans to contact you, send them soppy emails about 'wanting a real traditional big man', 'Russian men are so bad', 'Russian women prefer older, fatter men', etc...

Then sting them with needing to pay for English lessons so 'we can develop our love together' and that your Gran is ill and can't afford the medicine and she's gonna die, and the stupid Septics will send the cash.

99% are 'keyboard Romeos' - ie never actually bother!

I've considered this myself, the fact that it's dishonest and illegal puts me off slightly...

It is absolutely frightening how these woman lose grip on reality.

Not trying to be all tediously reasonable and conciliatory here, but as many if not more blokes do the same, with mail order brides and suchlike.

AUIU there is no financial test for visas under EU Directives!
