Special Power of Attorney is a document which authorizes a person to process specified transactions on your behalf. If you can get the SPA “under the table” in the Philippines, it’s still a privilege to spend less. However, traveling back and forth to process costs more.
For the SPA Application:

1. Go to Philippine Embassy located near Mushrif Mall.
2. Come first thing in the morning (before 8’o clock).
3. Ask for a priority number and SPA form in the information window (You can ask a maximum of three forms).
4. Fill in the form. You will be asked to have two random witnesses to sign the form.
5. Pay the regular fee which is 100 AED released within five working days or 140 AED for rush in three working days.
6. In claiming, personal appearance is a must, or a written AND signed authorization letter is required. Specified timings around 3-5PM only.

When all of the requirements are ready (including the certificate for marriage counseling),

1. Filing of marriage will be on 8AM-12NN only.
2. Go to the information window for the checklist document and priority number.
3. Pay 100 AED for the joint affidavit of the two witnesses and 100 AED for the marriage license.
4. The application will be posted in the embassy as marriage banns for 15 working days.
5. After the posting of marriage banns, return to the embassy to schedule for solemnization of marriage which costs 240 AED.
6. The day before the marriage, you will be asked to return to the embassy to check if there is any lack of information or misspelling.
7. Prepare for the next day’s big day.
