What does it mean to marry by proxy?
For those people who want to compromise their love and are not physically together, there is the possibility of getting married by proxy . The marriage by proxy is carried out between people who want to get married but can not be present at the time of the wedding, because they are in different places or countries. The presence of one of the spouses is always necessary, and another person will be the proxy, that is, who receives the power from the absent spouse to carry out the marriage.
Normally it takes place between a person of Spanish nationality and another foreigner who does not have a visa to be in Spain. Once they have been married, the foreigner can apply for a visa to come to Spain at the consulate.
