Getting married to a bulgarian woman

Posted in Bulgaria forum

Hi Community,
I apologise if this question has been asked and answered before but I do need help here. I have bulgarian girlfriend and we both are muslims. We want to get married but the issue is that I am living in UAE on employment VISA with residence & work permit. She was a tourist and we met each other and decided to get married after knowing each other after few days as we did get along. So, she lives in Bulgaria and to get married here in UAE both needs to have a residence VISA and I can't sponsor her until we are married.

I need to know that is it possible for me to travel to Bulgaria and get married there and then get marriage certificate attested by Bulgarian Embassy and then by Pakistani Embassy and also by UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and/or Embassy? What exactly is the process to get married in Bulgaria in this situation where girl is bulgarian but the guy is non-bulgarian? And, also what documents are necessary and how many days it may take to get marriage certificate from there? Or if there is any other better solution, please do guide us.

Thank you everyone.
