Many many thanks :) if can be all attested here in Dubai then not an issue.
I have had the visit visa extended myself on a number of occasions however this time DH decided to get it done through work which wasn't all that efficient .
You don't need to be in UK to have it attested. We had our marriage certificate attested at the British Embassy in Abu Dhabi (My DH works in AD). Afterwards, we had to take it to the Ministry of Foreign affairs, again in Abu Dhabi, to have it stamped/authenticated.
After that my DH's company handled everything else re. the residency visa application (before my 30 day visit visa expired), so can't offer any advise on this aspect of your problem.
You may be able to do s visa run to Oman/Hatta - although as I've never done this not sure if you can do it after your visit visa has already expired???
HTH
I am UK national ,husband has a work visa in Dubai.Last year i travelled bk n forth to the UK so was never in Dubai for more than 40days .Now wld like to have a more stable lifestyle therefore now that DH has a new job am totally confused about the spouse visa requirements .Please help !
I have with me our original Marriage certificate from the Register's office, our Islamic Marriage certificate and a photocopy of my birth certificate.
DH gave his employer my passport to extend visit visa- this was to expire on 30th dec , papers submitted on 28th dec .We got a email from HR dept that as my initial visa expired cant be renewed! IT HAD NOT EXPIRED ON THE DATE OF SUBMISSION!
If I now want to go for a spouse visa what do I need to do ? The HR dept are saying i need to go back to the UK and get the marriage certificates attested/translated from there ,which seems odd cant I get them done here whilst am in Dubai?

totally confused why something which should be relatively simple is over complicated !
