Does anyone knows if it's possible to get marry in Dubai or Abu Dhabi once I am Brazilian and my bf is Egyptian? Any kind of legal marriage is possible to be done in UAE?

Hi Carol
Congrats in advance.
As far as i know through other cpl that got married in UAE , it's a bit complicated and there r many points to be covered 1st.
- if you are of different religion then a NOC (Non Objection Certification) from both embassies the Brazilian and Egyptian to confirm that there is required.
- If the religions r different and everyone wanna keep his own, i would advise to get married in Brazil , as in either UAE/Egypt this is almost impossible. You can go to Lebanon the nearest place where they accept such situations and also nice place for honey mooners .
- When your BF will have the residence visa : after 3 month of getting it he can request to add you to his visa or to be your sponsor as Husband but there r some conditions:
1. you must be married 1st as the marriage certificate will be requested
2. As a sponsorship, his salary must be minimum 5000AED /month as this is a requirement.
3. he will have to present the planimetric design of the apartment where he lives and this must be approved by Dubai municipality and registered in Ijari.

Shall you need any further info , you can always contact me.
