Hi, I need some advice..
Currently, I am working here in Abu Dhabi and I am going to the Phils to marry my Canadian citizen fiance, who is coming in January too. He is going to submit our papers immediately after he came back to Canada and have my papers processed in Manila. Our plan is for me to come back to Abu Dhabi while waiting for my papers to be processed because processing in Abu Dhabi takes a lot longer.
My question is, can I put my country of residence as UAE even if my papers will be processed in Manila? or should I put Phils, since I will come back once my papers are forwarded in Manila and they request for my passport.
Can I come back here in Abu Dhabi to work for a month or two? Or is it better if I stay in the Phils while waiting for the papers?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
Schedule 1 Background Declaration question 5 asks you your current country of residence - answer is UAE, the succeeding question asks you your current status in that country - are you on a working visa? this is granting if you want to go back to Abu Dhabi
Before you leave Abu Dhabi get your police clearance, it`s such a pain to get a police clearance in soem countries
Now going back to your question about going back to Abu Dhabi to work, this is your decision. Because you will be asked in the Application of Permanent Residence form for your mailing address and residential address.
If you`re coming back to the Philippines to get married this January be prepared to stay a bit longer for your Medical, change of new passport and before DFA can even issue you a new one with your married name you need your NCSO marriage contract and CFO but it`s okey if you retain your maiden name and your old passport as long as it is still valid for 18 months or more, NCSO copy of your marriage certificate, NBI.
Fill up the forms with your spouse, attach all evidence, pay all the fees.
I don`t think there`s any problem going back to Abu Dhabi for work for a month or two, i`m guessing that you want to finish your contract. But then the final decision is with you and what works in your situation.
