Visas & Customs Requirements

Marriage:

Marriage is registered at a local public registry, which requires a Letter of Marriage Intention and payment of a fee.

A person under 18 years of age, who wishes to register a marriage, is required to present a letter of consent from his or her parents.

The registry will display the Letter of Marriage Intention for 21 days on a public notice board.

Provided that no objection to the intended marriage is made during the 21 day period, a couple may then register their marriage.

Birth certificates or official documents showing the ages of the couple are required together with the results of HIV and genotype tests.

A divorcee must produce a divorce certificate, while a widow or a widower is required to present the death certificate of the late spouse.

A marriage registrar may witness the exchange of oaths by the couple.
