Q What does one need to get married in Dubai? Do they have to be a resident? what paperwork do we need if we are both muslims and only one of us is a resident and the other is on a visit visa?

A If you check out the local government website they have up to date information on getting married in Dubai www.dubai.ae go to the citizens section where it has a section on getting married. It states “For expatriates, spouses should have valid Dubai residence visas. In case one of the spouses is on a visit visa, he/she must undergo a medical examination in Dubai before their marriage.”
