Every woman wants to get married more than anything in the world. And more than that, the woman wants to marry a foreigner; in the recent past this was considered very prestigious. Nowadays, marriages between representatives of different states are quite common. But you need to know some pitfalls that may arise on the path to happiness. family life, especially when the husband has Egyptian citizenship.
The scorching sun, a good mood, a romantic atmosphere on a beautiful beach, you want to continue such holiday romances outside of vacation. Egypt can rightly be called the country of holiday romances. Persistent handsome men invite you to return back to the land of pharaohs and pyramids, but not as a tourist, but as a legal wife. And Russian girls fly to a foreign country towards women's happiness. They are captivated by the emotional activity of Egyptian citizens.
This is not surprising: the Egyptian mentality does not allow simply offering sex to a woman - this is not accepted in this country. Therefore, immediately after meeting, compliments fly from the mouth of the tanned handsome man, loud phrases akin to: “You are best woman on the planet”, “I’ve never met one like this, it’s love at first sight.” And then comes the coveted marriage proposal. Egyptians are very romantic men; there is almost no local man who would not have an affair with a tourist. Why is this happening?
Firstly, the atmosphere itself is conducive to holiday romances. Also the notorious desire for physical satisfaction, since seducers, as a rule, work in large resort towns, and their wives are far from them. It is not possible to have a fleeting romance with a local girl - religion does not allow this, neither Egyptian women nor men. But this does not upset the Egyptians - after all, beauties from all over the world fly to the resort every year, unspoiled by the compliments and promises of the men there.
How much does love cost?
In addition to ardent love, as a rule, a good dowry is attached; in other words, Egyptians are not averse to receiving an expensive gift from tourists, which they do not skimp on, or to go to a restaurant at their expense. They cannot afford this themselves - there are no high salaries in Egypt.
You don’t need much for this: it’s enough to bombard the girl with messages with promises of eternal love, and offers to come soon, because separation is unbearable for a lover without the memory of his heart. If you come across a wealthier admirer, you can even get an apartment as a gift. Hearing that this will be a joint nest, where a devoted man will look forward to “the woman of his life” and raise many beautiful children.
Well, it’s such a trifle to pay a considerable amount for a love nest, especially since the “groom” can pay the rest. And the apartment will be registered in the name of an Egyptian, but that doesn’t matter, because they will be together all their lives and nothing can destroy their love. If a more successful mistress comes across, then the “future husband” will be lucky enough to get a business, which, of course, will be registered in his name. And he, in turn, will brag to his real wife about his new car, expensive watch, and show photographs of “his” business.
Of course, sometimes there are wealthy men who received all of the above thanks to their efforts, but this is rather an exception: mostly money that a man sends so that a girl can buy , and flew to him, received by him from some rich foreign lady. And, of course, the messages do not stop, filled with promises of eternal love, marriage proposals. Well, how can we resist here?
Egyptians are very religious about marriage. Marriage with an Egyptian begins with the conclusion of an orphi contract, which is drawn up in two copies - one for each party. This document is signed by the parties in the presence of two men; women may also be present during signing, but then two women will be equated to one man. By the way, in Egypt, all transactions taking place in court require the presence of a lawyer.
However, this contract is not registered anywhere and, accordingly, does not impose any obligations on the newlyweds. This is the so-called “civil marriage” among the Egyptians. And, one must assume, the husband may have more than one such contract. You can “dissolve” it simply by breaking it if the marriage ends.
However, in Egypt, this document is required. Why? It’s all very simple: without an orfi contract, you can’t invite a woman to your home, and accordingly visit her, and what’s more, you can’t even hold hands – the police will immediately take the man away. For Egyptian men, the Orphi contract - no matter how loud it may sound - is the only opportunity to conduct any love relationship.In Egyptian houses there are male concierges who check for contracts. And in his absence, the couple simply will not be allowed into the building - after all, Egypt is a Muslim . It is believed that those who can do this without the notorious paper have connections with the police.
But an orphi contract can be legalized if there is a desire to enter into a legal marriage. This procedure is carried out in court in the presence of a lawyer, by affixing a huge number of signatures and seals. After about three months, the newlyweds receive a document confirming that from now on they are husband and wife. Officially. With this contract, the wife can obtain a visa, first for six months, then for a year, and finally for five years. Later you can receive a passport. After receiving this paper, you will be able to purchase tickets at the prices provided to Egyptians - for foreigners, they are much more expensive. However, the orfi contract is legal only in Egypt. On the territory of other states, it will not have any power. There are two ways to resolve this issue - this is to get married in the bride’s homeland, or at the embassy of that of which she is a subject.
Sometimes it seems that if the marriage is finally officially concluded, then all the hardest things are over. This is, of course, not true. All issues related to money when marrying an Egyptian must be monitored very carefully. Many couples enter into a prenuptial agreement. This treaty is somewhat different from the treaty we know. No matter how it is concluded, upon divorce, all controversial issues will be resolved in accordance with Egyptian law.
But Egyptian lawyers do not consider it necessary to explain this to the wife. Therefore, it would be a good idea to state in the contract that the wife will be entitled to compensation in the event of a divorce. To do this, a certain amount is deposited in the bank into an open account, from which the husband pays tax. You can use this money even if things don’t come to the extreme of divorce. Since an Egyptian may well have more than one wife, you need to play it safe and open an account to which the amount of money specified in the contract will be transferred monthly.
Divorce is carried out in court, in the presence of a lawyer. During a divorce, all property remains with the spouse who owns it. In this case, it does not matter with whose funds they were purchased or donated; the wife may not know that what was given to her may be registered in the name of the spouse. In order for the divorce process to be completed faster, it is better that it be carried out with the husband’s application: it will be considered much faster than if the application was filed by the wife, a month in the first case, and at least six months in the second. A marriage in Egypt can also be declared void if a party is incapacitated. But, alas, love fever does not apply to this circumstance.
There are many pitfalls in a love union with an Egyptian citizen. And you need to know them when trying to connect your life with an Egyptian. Especially our Russian girls who so unconditionally believe in burning and passionate handsome men.
If you are going to marry a foreigner, you will need to legalize a number of documents.

Complete documents
The question of how to formalize an official relationship, what documents are needed to get married in Egypt, is asked with enviable regularity. Maghreb chickens, who, apparently, are tired of repeating this valuable information, which they are losing on the forum due to constant flooding, mostly their own angry tweeting like “I wrote a hundred times, where are you looking!” Therefore, I will describe the entire marriage algorithm. I’ll give you a list of documents, tell you what pitfalls await you and what to tell the bureaucrats. Everything seems complicated, but in reality, those who are warned will not be afraid.
Preparation: fiancé visa
The first thing you need to start the marriage registration procedure is a fiancé visa. Perhaps this is the most difficult procedure in the whole tedium. The fact is that international marriages cannot be concluded on a tourist visa. And in order to avoid unnecessary hassle with issuing an invitation and other nonsense, a fiancé visa was invented. You can arrange it directly in Egypt. To do this, you need to go to the consular department of the Russian Embassy and get a certificate stating that there are no marriage marks in your internal passport.
At the same time, prepare three kilograms of copies of your passport, both foreign and domestic, the ID of your future husband, a certificate from the army, and a formal contract, which you should already have by then. Take about ten photos for yourself and your future spouse. Buy a Tabe ZAVAG stamp at the post office.
If there are marks in this passport, then you need to provide documents about divorce or widowhood. Based on these documents or in the absence of them, if you were not married, you will receive a certificate from the consul that you do not have any signs of having a family. With this certificate you need to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Arab Republic, Visaret Kharegiya. There, for 11 pounds, they will affix a stamp confirming that the consul’s signature is correct. This is such a strange bureaucracy.
Now with this certificate you need to go to GawazEt, the Egyptian passport office. Gavazet must be chosen according to the place of residence of the spouse. That is, if your future husband is from Luxor, then you will receive a visa in Luxor. Even if you formally live in Hurghada. This must be kept in mind too. It’s also worth making allowances for the local bullshit that applies to everything, and to bureaucratic procedures in particular.
And one more thing. When applying for a visa, you will be interviewed at the local FSB. You need to know the names of your other half’s relatives (they will ask him, and then you), he should also have a rough idea of the names of your parents and siblings, if there are any. It is also worth making sure that you have the same testimony regarding dating. Do not under any circumstances say that you worked in Egypt. This cannot be done with a tourist or even a resident visa. Yes, everyone is working, but the FSB is clearly not worth reminding about the eternal omission to which the whole country turns a blind eye. We met in the city. You're not working. Housewife. All.
Twice into the same river
A fiancé visa can be given or received once. That is, if you were already married or planned to, but ran away as Julia Roberts, right from under the altar, sparkling with sneakers, or your MFA already had extensive experience of getting out of the army by marrying a foreigner, you cannot get a fiancee visa again. Only if the system suddenly suddenly glitches, and you are terribly lucky to run into another careless inspector who should look through your dossier, and he will look through the prism of a cup of tea. But there is no need to count on luck again.
You can get any non-tourist visa. For example, to come to Egypt by private invitation. Apply for a work visa. Anything, the main thing is that there is no tourist status. And that’s it – go get married right now!
If the groom is Copt
For Christians, of whom only ten percent of Egyptians are already, and they are very reluctant to marry Russians, the procedure looks somewhat different. To obtain a visa and subsequent permission, you must take a church certificate from Russia that you are baptized. This certificate must be translated into Arabic and certified. Next, you need another certificate, which states that you visit such and such a temple, actively participate in church sacraments and the life of the parish, and all this must be accompanied by the seal and signature of the clergyman.
The groom must obtain a certificate of family composition (kid fArdi). Then both need to go to the Coptic Patriarchate in Cairo and get permission to get married there.
If the bride and groom are Muslims
For a Muslim lady, it is advisable to obtain a certificate from the Al Azhar Mosque in Cairo. There is nothing complicated, say the shehadah in Arabic (the groom will teach you), wait half an hour, and receive the document in your hands.
If you have an interfaith marriage, then the religious affiliation of the bride is included in the certificate of unmarriage in the context of “according to the owner of the certificate.”
Our house is a hospital - let's go get some treatment!
Another preparatory procedure is visiting the hospital and obtaining health certificates for the bride and groom. They will take tests from you, wash all parts of your body to look for a condom with a coconut in your ass. In fact, formally this procedure involves testing for fertility, but it looks very funny. It looked especially funny in our context: I was dragged to an ultrasound, and the doctor asked in surprise if I knew that I was pregnant. Yeah, in the fourth month and I don’t know.
So, at the hospital you will receive another certificate that you are healthy and fit for marriage. You will spend a couple of hours of time and one photo from the collection. From three kilograms of document copies, only one and a half kilograms will remain.
Checking combat readiness
Before the wedding, you must collect the following set of documents:
Fiancé visa obtained from Gawazeta
Certificates from the hospital
Certificate of family status (if the groom is Copt)
Certificate of unmarriage (regardless of the bride’s religious affiliation), certified by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Certificates from the church for Christian weddings
Certificate from Al Azhar Mosque for Muslim wedding
Brand tabe zavag
Certificate from the army for the groom (does not owe anything to anyone)
Photos (8 pieces regular, for documents)
Original and copies of foreign and Russian passports, groom’s ID (kilogram copies)
Marriage procedure
For Copts separately: you need to get married in a church, that is, go through a wedding ceremony. Then the church contract must be certified by the vizaret kharegiya, and then by the shara akari (notary office of Cairo).
For everyone else: marriage takes place at the Egyptian Ministry of Justice, Visaret El Adil, Lazogli Street (emphasis on the letter o). Have two male witnesses with you, if you have an ID and free time (it will cost money). There, witnesses will cost a lot of money on the spot.
Exchange twenty pounds for about 200, and distribute as needed to offices, otherwise they will lose your documents, waffle your procedures and spend a long time murmuring in the smoky corridor.
Along with all the certificates and photographs, you go to the Department of Internal Affairs, answer a couple of questions, sign an agreement, and put your fingerprints. Bring wet wipes with you and alcohol solution, because otherwise you won’t wipe off this ink. And in the heat they get terribly dirty.
You go to have your completed marriage contract certified again at the Vizaret Kharegia. Give 100 pounds to a runaway boy, and he will run to stamp you in five minutes; in the general queue you will wait half an hour. Next, immediately go to the Akari shara (if the time is not two or more), and there you put a round, triangular and square seal. No, well, which one will they put in?
Legal nuance!
Dear ladies, there is such a trick: this contract is valid only in Egypt until you have legalized it at the consular department of the Russian Embassy. That is, if you want to be officially married in Egypt, but not experience grief at all in Russia, then do not legalize it. Getting a divorce later, of course, will be very problematic, since you will have to go through legalization, and it is advisable that by this time you are not married to a Russian. Otherwise it will turn out funny, Garik Kharlamov will laugh.
On the other hand, if you just want to be officially married, then you need to go through the legalization procedure. That is, this contract must be translated and certified at the consular department of the Russian Embassy in Cairo. After it is accepted and legalized, you will be considered a married lady.
Another nuance is the FMS stamp in the internal passport. Your document-sheet, even legalized at the consulate, will look like an “official marriage contract”; this is the requirement for document translation. The ladies from the Federal Migration Service love to snort at this piece of paper and refuse to put a stamp on your passport. You have two options - insist on your own, write a complaint to the head of the passport office or even higher, the second option is to calmly wait six months. In six months you will be able to receive an electronic marriage certificate in Sigel el MidAni. And it will be written there that it is the realest evidence.
It also must first be certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then transferred and taken to the consulate for legalization. But the FMS will not have any complaints regarding the wording of the title of this document.
That's all, actually.
Some time ago, a fairly common way to start a relationship was to enter into an orphi contract. This paper, by by and large, serves only to legitimize living together in the same apartment without causing problems for young man. But not even a single hotel in Egypt will allow you to stay in one room on the basis of an orphi contract.
In the distant past, even the entry into an official marriage of an Egyptian with a foreign woman necessarily began with just such a document. But these times have sunk into the past, now an orfi-contract is not needed to conclude a real marriage contract, and, moreover, an orfi-husband is not perceived as such even in the gauzet (the migration service of Hurghada), today even the extension of a tourist visa is impossible on the basis orphi-contract. Until now, some naive young ladies are sure that an orphy-contract is practically a certificate of marriage, although, in fairness, it should be noted that a young man can have such orphy-wives almost indefinitely and with almost impunity.
How can you enter into a marriage relationship with an Egyptian? Only by concluding an official marriage contract at the Ministry of Justice. But before that the last stage several steps must be taken. Since the system for concluding a marriage contract and the documents that need to be submitted to various authorities change periodically, you should clarify the relevance of the information before collecting documents.
A woman should begin the preparatory stage of marriage in Russia. To do this, she needs to obtain a certificate stating that she is not currently married. If there was a previous marriage that ended in divorce, you need to confirm the absence of obligations with a divorce certificate. If the husband died, then a death certificate.
Then you should go to the consular department of the Russian Embassy in Egypt, which is located in Cairo, in the Dokki area, to obtain a paper on the possibility of marriage. Currently, the following package of documents is provided on the bride’s side; no documents are currently required on the groom’s side:
Certificate stating that the bride is not currently married;
The original and a copy of the divorce certificate or the death certificate of the husband, if the girl was previously married;
Original passport and a copy of the first page with a photograph and the page with a valid (this is important!) Egyptian visa;
Original Russian internal passport and a copy of the page with photo, registration and marital status stamps.
After receiving this paper from the consular department of the Russian Embassy in Egypt, you need to go to the migration department (gauset) to obtain a visa for marriage, since marriage is not registered with a tourist visa. A visa for marriage is obtained once in a lifetime for six months without extension or the possibility of re-obtaining. As a rule, residents of Hurghada apply for a visa at the Hurghada newspaper office, if the tourist visa was previously extended there, and, consequently, the registration file is kept in the migration department of Hurghada.
To obtain a visa, you need to fill out an application form, bring 2 color photographs 3.5 * 4.5 cm, the original passport and copies of the first page with the photo and the page with the last visa issued at the airport upon arrival, and a valid visa if a tourist visa was extended, as well as a certificate received from the consular department of the Russian Embassy in Egypt and legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Egypt, in which case you must present the original and a copy.
After submitting documents for a marriage visa, you should be patient, since the visa will not be issued immediately, and you will also have to undergo an interview with a special police department.
During the waiting period, you need to obtain medical certificates for marriage, which must be obtained only in a public hospital. This takes about 2 days and payment of tax, the amount of which is constantly changing.
At the ARE post office you need to purchase a stamp worth 50 pounds “Tabe Zeweg” or “Ta-min Igtimaei”.
After receiving the long-awaited visa for marriage, you should go to Cairo again, this time to the Ministry of Justice of Egypt (notary office), which is located at: Cairo, Abdin, Lazougli Square, 4th floor. There you need to provide the following package of documents:
2 copies of the bride’s foreign passport with a valid marriage visa, as well as the foreign passport itself;
Certificate from the consular department of the Russian Embassy in Egypt, legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Egypt;
Medical certificates of future spouses regarding their state of health, issued in the state. ARE Hospital;
A £50 Tabe Zeweg stamp bought from the Post Office;
Eight photographs of 3.5*4.5 cm of future spouses (colored);
2 copies of the groom’s ID and the ID itself;
It is better to check the current package of documents. To conclude a marriage contract, you will also need two witnesses - men, who must take with them the originals and copies of the ID. For a foreigner who does not speak Arabic, the presence of a licensed translator may also be required. It is also better to clarify this point in advance.
After submitting the documents, you will again have to wait to receive the official marriage contract; as a rule, this takes about two weeks.
A marriage contract is an official document in Egypt, with it you can get a resident visa, first for 1 year, then for 3 years, and then for 5 years. After receiving a resident visa for 3 years, you can apply for Egyptian citizenship.
In order for a marriage to be recognized on the territory of the Russian Federation, the marriage contract must be legalized. Information about legalization can be obtained from the consular department of the Russian Embassy in Egypt.
Egyptian wedding
Well, what woman doesn’t dream of marriage? And a foreign husband is the dream of most Russian women. Previously, marrying a foreigner was considered prestigious, but now this has become much more common. But, no matter how prestigious it may be and no matter how much you love your future husband, you need to know all the nuances of marriage, especially if the husband is Egyptian.
Egypt can rightfully be considered a country of holiday romances: a great mood, sunshine and a romantic atmosphere at its most beautiful beach. You don’t want to leave such a fairy tale at all, and besides, persistent Egyptians invite you to return to their homeland, but not as a guest, but as a legal wife. Most Russian women give up everything and rush to an unknown city towards their dreams, and the simplest female happiness, not knowing what awaits them ahead.
Egyptians are some of the most romantic men, and there is practically not a single local resident who does not meet tourists. Dating in Egypt occurs as follows: acquaintance, after which there are many compliments that no woman in the world can resist. After which the long-awaited marriage proposal to his chosen one. Ask why everything is happening this way? Because the atmosphere itself is conducive to holiday romances. Mostly the male half of the population works in large resort towns, which cannot be said about their wives, who are far away from them. Fleeting romances in Egypt with local residents are prohibited by religion, for both men and women, but this does not prevent them from having fleeting romances with women who fly to their country to relax.
How much does love cost
In addition to strong love, a dowry is also necessary. That is, an Egyptian is unlikely to refuse an expensive gift or a trip to a restaurant at your expense. There are no big salaries in Egypt, so they can’t afford it themselves.
You don't have to put in a lot of effort to get all this. All you need is not to skimp on the beautiful words that we all love and declarations of eternal love. If you manage to meet rich lady, then you can even receive an apartment as a gift, as a family nest, in which the young couple will be very happy and will raise their children. 
Egyptian man
All these are trifles, compared to the fact that although you will pay a decent price for the apartment, the rest can be paid by the groom, but if the property is registered in the name of your husband. And at first the bride does not pay attention to this, since she is sure that this love is the only and long-awaited one for the rest of their lives, and nothing can destroy it. And when good situation, and business, well, if he has one, of course, his wife can also go to her husband. And at this time, the husband will boast to his real legal wife about an expensive car and other expensive things. Wealthy men occur, but extremely rarely.
Egyptians are quite religious about marriage. Before marriage is concluded, an orphi contract is concluded. It is drawn up in two copies - one copy for each party. This document must be signed in the presence of two men or women, but in this case the presence of four women is necessary, since two women are equal to one man. All transactions in Egypt are concluded in court in the presence of a lawyer.
Such contracts do not mean anything, since they are not registered anywhere, and accordingly do not oblige the newlyweds to anything. For Egyptians, this is just a civil marriage, and the husband can have as many such contracts as he likes. Such a contract is terminated very easily - after the marriage ceases to exist, the contract is simply torn up.
Then, you ask, why is it needed at all, and what is its advantage? Without such a contract, a man has no right to invite a woman to his home, much less come to visit her. Not to mention the fact that he cannot simply take her hand - the police can immediately take him away. Simply put, an orphi contract is a document that allows for the conduct of a loving relationship. In Egypt, concierges work in houses - men who check the presence of this contract; if it is missing, then you will not be allowed into the building. Egypt is primarily a Muslim country.
If you decide to enter into a civil marriage, then an orphi contract can be concluded legally, also in court with lawyers. In this case, the document will be certified by numerous signatures and seals. You can receive a document confirming that from now on you are husband and wife in about three months. This document gives the spouse the right to officially receive a visa for the first period of six months, then for a year and later for five years. After this you can receive your passport. Now you can buy tickets at local prices. They are sold to foreigners several times more expensive. The Orphi contract is valid only in Egypt. In other countries, it does not provide any value. To resolve this issue, you can get married at the embassy of the country from which the bride herself comes, or in her homeland. 
Exchange of rings
If you think that there is nothing to be afraid of in an official marriage, then you are very mistaken. When marrying an Egyptian, any money issue must be carefully monitored. Most newlyweds also prefer to enter into a prenuptial agreement. This is not at all the agreement that we all know - it is very different from our usual agreement. But be that as it may, during a divorce, any controversial issue will be resolved according to the laws of Egypt.
At the same time, lawyers in Egypt do not try to explain and tell all the subtleties. In case of divorce, the spouse has the right to receive compensation. To do this, a certain amount is placed in an open bank account, from which he pays taxes. If the matter does not come to a divorce, then you have the right to use this money. It often happens that a husband has not one wife, but several. In this case, it is better to play it safe, open an account, and transfer the amount specified in the contract every month. sum of money.
The divorce process takes place in the courtroom in the presence of a lawyer. All property will remain to its owner, regardless of whose money it was purchased with. So, for example, a spouse may not realize that a car given to her by her husband can be registered in his name. To speed up the divorce process, it is necessary for the husband to file the application. In this case, it will be considered in the first month. If a wife files for divorce, the case may take up to six months at most. If the party is not legally capable, then the marriage may also be declared invalid, but love fever does not apply to this.
These are just the most important nuances that women who are planning to marry an Egyptian need to know. In fact, there are many more pitfalls hidden here, which also conceal many mysteries.
