Greek Citizen's Marriage Performed in a Former USSR CountryIt is a fact that many Greek men and women decide to get married in the countries of the former Soviet Union for reasons mainly related to their partners’ origin. However, among the states of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, formal requirements and legal types of weddings vary. As a result, other supporting documents are required to carry out, for example, a wedding in Russia, others in Ukraine and others in Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan. This requires special care and diligence from anyone who decides to marry in one of the countries of the former USSR. First of all, before the marriage is completed and while the Greek citizen is still in Greece, the necessary certificates and supporting documents from the local public-municipal services should be gathered to make the wedding possible. For this reason, the assistance of a qualified lawyer, especially if he speaks the Russian language, which is the predominant language in the former USSR countries, is necessary for the successful completion of the formal wedding proceedings, so that unnecessary and costly travel due to the lack of the necessary supporting documents for the wedding is avoided. Even after the wedding, the process of the recognition of its validity in Greece can not be avoided in order to have its legal effects in the country, which is achieved by registering the marriage in the Special Registry Office, which is done in a specific way, followed by the opening of a family share in the competent municipality. Lastly, after the wedding between a Greek citizen and a citizen of a state of the former USSR, the foreign spouse and his or her minor children, whose custody he or she has, are entitled to a residence permit in Greece for a five-year period, after submitting the supportive documents required by law to the competent department of the Decentralized Administration of his / her place of residence. The law office of Mrs. Kasatkina-Kouskou Svetlana, who speaks fluent Russian, Ukrainian and Greek, undertakes, under the relevant authorization, the completion of the process before the marriage in a country of the former USSR takes place, collecting the required documents, issuing certificates and legally translating and validating them, but also after the marriage is performed, i.e. the validation of the marriage in Greece by registering it in the Special Registry. It also undertakes the procedure of the issue of the residence permit for the former USSR national as a Greek citizen’s or an EU citizen’s spouse (or even of his / her minor children). http://kasatkinalaw.com/en/legal_news/greek_citizen_married_to_third_country_national.html
