Foreign nationals can marry in Egypt, whether marrying an Egyptian citizen or another foreign national. Such marriages are generally documented through the competent office of the Ministry of Justice.
What shapes the process
- The nationalities of both parties
- Each party's religion, where relevant to the applicable rules
- Previous marital status
- Whether the marriage needs to be recognised in another country
Because these factors interact, two couples rarely follow exactly the same path. A short consultation at the start saves weeks later.
