I am a Singaporean and my fiancé is a foreigner who is a former work permit holder. Can we register our marriage overseas?
You should check directly with the relevant authority in the country that you intend to register your marriage in, on the requirements for registration of marriage.
Any current or former work permit holder (including Training Work Permit holder) who wishes to marry a Singapore citizen or Permanent Resident, must seek approval from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) via this form. This is a condition that all Work Permit holders agree to, before they are allowed to work in Singapore. If they fail to do so, their privilege to work in Singapore could be withdrawn and they may also be prevented from entering Singapore for a period of time.
MOM will take about 4 weeks to process the application, and the applicant will be notified of the outcome by email.
For more information, please visit the MOM’s website.
