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.
