    hello, I'm a uk national who works on sailing yachts as captain around the world. I have a fiancée who is Filipino. I'm looking to get married in the uk and get a British passport for her. She is a professional chef and will be working on yachts with me next year. I would appreciate anyone who might have any information or tricks to make this as smooth as possible.
    Kind regards

    A British Passport takes a long time and you will have an issue with Leave to Remain if you do not spend enough time in the UK.

    If you have a base or main port of residence in some EU country, you may be able to use the EUropean route before brexit puts the spanners in the works...

    Unlikely due to requirements for residency permits and the difficulty they will encounter proving their "centre of life" is in their chosen EU country.
