Your problem may be bigger and more complex than you think. It's
not just about being selfish, but in the bigger scheme of things
there is the Foriegn Affairs policies of both nations that you
should worry about, with your plan to marry a foriegner.
It isnt so easy as saying 'I do' in any country. Every nation
protects its own society and will have screening and regulations
for any foriegner marrying their own citizens. They would prefer
citizen marry citizen.
Education and earning abilities are the basic requirements or it
may end up society taking up the burden to take care of them.
Furthermore, abuses in the system caused by 'sham marriages' had
led nations to be more catious and to go by the head, than by the
heart, no matter how beautifully crafted an appeal can be, even
from MPs.
And it isnt as complex as it seems, my Dad is a malaysian and my
Mom is a Singaporean, so no worries. Just take it easy, no point
rushing into things and making a big fuss over it.
Not to discourage you, but at the end of the day, you may wonder
- is it worth it all? If you still think it is, then I
suggest you take a trip to MOM, ICA and MFA to find out more of
what it entails to marry a foriegner, or you becoming
another country's PR to help you decide. It may not be as
clear cut as you presume it to be....
And it isnt really that complex. My Dad is a Malaysian, and my
mom is a Singaporean, so just take it easy, dun rush and make a
fuss out of it.
