Living in Dubai, like every other place on the planet, necessitates a great deal of labour and struggle. It is not all rainbows and sunshine always.

REQUIREMENTS FOR FILIPINOS TO GET MARRIED IN DUBAI

You should double-check that you have all of the relevant documentation and paperwork. You don’t want to find yourself going around in circles. That’s because, as your wedding day approaches, it can leave you feeling befuddled and nervous.

Filipino couples must meet certain requirements, including as having their documents authorized and confirmed by several authorities.

  • A application should be made from each of the spouses.
  • One joint affidavit form
  • One marriage announcement form
  • Report on the marriage

One of the most essential things we see is that a large number of Filipinos have previously married. In the Philippines, there are no divorce, making it the only country in the world without such (unless you’re a Muslim, who make up only 11 percent of the population).

Unfortunately, for Filipinos who are locked in a marriage, annulment is their only option.

UAE is out of the question for persons in such situations, particularly ladies who have their ex-name husband’s on their passport. Because for a marriage to take place in the UAE a document of singleness or divorce is required which often becomes difficult here and increases the complications in the paperwork.
