After marrying in the Philippines, the marriage must be registered in India under the Foreign Marriage Act, 1969 or recorded with the Indian Marriage Registrar. Your wife will need a valid visa (Entry/Spouse Visa). The Philippine marriage certificate must be apostilled/attested. After arrival, apply for FRRO registration if required.
