Hi all,

We invite all the ones who got married in Turkey or who are about to get married in Turkey to participate in this thread

What are the formalities to get married in Turkey? Is it the same for a couple of foreigners of for a mixed couple (between a foreigner and a native of Turkey)?

Are the procedures complicated?

How long does it take to carry out all the formalities?

Thank you in advance for participating,

Armand
