It’s impossible that you have never heard the saying “Necessity is the mother of invention.” It indeed is, and we as human beings make our way even through the most difficult situations. If you are living in Dubai then one of the biggest problems that you might be facing is not being able to find an easy wedding process. We all know that the COVID-19 has changed the landscape of pretty much everything. However, you can still get married in Dubai during COVID-19 if you are living in Dubai by using any of the following mentioned options.

Get Married in Dubai/UAE Court!

One of the first and the most logical option UAE expats can think of is to get married in Dubai/UAE court. However, it’s a long, hectic, and pricey procedure that also requires a lot of documents and paperwork. But if you can afford it and you also have time, it might be the right option for you. That’s because you can get all the requirements and paperwork ready without taking any break from your daily life. You can continue your job on a regular basis while completing all the prerequisites.

Fly to Seychelles to Get Married!

Getting married in Seychelles is the best option for those people who can spare a little time and money is not an issue. It’s because getting married in Seychelles is a little pricey. At the same time, it’s one of the most efficient and fastest ways to get married. Especially if you’re a foreigner living in Dubai. However, you have to prepare yourself for the five days quarantine period that you’ll need to spend after reaching Seychelles. You can still use the territory and the facilities of the hotel. However you won’t be allowed to go to the city.

But the good news is that you can still marry while you’re in quarantine, moreover you can leave the country and fly back to Dubai (or other city) before you complete all five days. However, it will only be the paperwork and you’ll need to skip the traditional wedding ceremony. It’s still worth it if you don’t have much time.

If you are willing to complete all five days of quarantine you can have a proper wedding ceremony after that.

Wait for Georgia to Open the Borders to Get Married!

If you haven’t selected days to get married and have a little more time, then wait. Georgia is expected to open its doors for foreigners in February 2021. If you can wait, you’ll have the opportunity to get married through one of the cheapest and the fastest ways. Moreover, getting married in Georgia also requires the least paperwork and documents.

Marry Online Through Power of Attorney!

Last but not least is opting for getting married through the power of an attorney. However, the budget must not be your biggest concern. It’s a little pricey as well as a complicated process. But worry not because all of the heavy lifting will be done by our lawyers. You will be informed and guided at every step to have a seamless and convenient wedding process.
