Question
i am Pakistani. i live in United Arab Emirates i want to marry with Brazilian girl.if i come there on tourist visa then what i do?

Answer
You can get married here on a tourist visa. You and your fiancee will have to get married legally, of course, in a house of worship or by a justice of the peace. They will give you a document that states they married you. Then you take that document to a local town clerk's office, called a "cartorio". They will then register your marriage with the state and the country. You should also have a copy of that officially translated into English. The cartorio will tell you who is the official translator in the area for government documents. THen you bring that English document to the UAE consulate so you can register your marriage in your home nation, too. Entire process takes maybe a month.
