* Based on my own experienced ,written last November 2011,i will wrote the others detail on how to get married in malaysia if your are filipino and your fiance is malaysian *
First I promise to myself that after ten years ill be coming home to Philippines.
After the smooth flow here comes the angry wind trying to destroy the calmness of our relationship.Ohhh !!!!!
Well life is always ups and down.
Yes I do- three words easy to say but didn't think about the process.It was long long journey before I reached my destination.
First I have to quit my job in singapore and go home.
Too many requirements(never think about it before, untill I myself experienced grrrr dammed it so wishy washy in philippines.)
I went to National Statistic Office (NSO) to take my birth certificate and CENOMAR(certificate of no marraige).Its documents cost 300 plus pesos per copy.Make two copies for sure.( hehheehe I'm getting kiasu). And wait for another days to collect but depends on how many applicants coz the more means you have to wait a little long.Collecting the documents you have to show atleast one valid ID.
While waiting the NSO I went to the NOTARY PUBLIC to ask for affidavit of parent"PARENTAL CONSENT AND LEGAL CAPACITY TO MARRY.After which I have to instruct them to pass to the REGIONAL TRIAL COURT for the issuance of CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY FOR NOTARIAL ACT.But before that I'm in trouble coz my mother don't have any valid ID which it was the lawyers requirement for her for oathtaking.So the next day I bring my mom to the Municipality to take her,birth certificate,cedula,barangay clearance, police clearance and bring to the post office to get an ID.Gosh my mom's documents are not accepted as she must used her present surname in which its so complicated coz I'm sure the judge won't accept it and will ask for more documents,why were not the same surname.(scratching my head....the more headache she bought to me grrrrr....evil me..I blame her.she shouldn't remarry and evrthing gonna be easy.)
In the afternoon I came back again to the post office and bring along my aunties husband,I heard that if you are well known to your baranggay its easy to get what you want .He and the officer know each other.Took an hour of convincing the officer .In the end I enterupt and beg the officer and I'm willing to give prize.(lol....money settle it faster..if ever I know I won't waste time begging to him. ...grrrr..drama me my tears drop also while saying thank you....lol..what an experience).
After it I bring all documents to the judge and thanks God it was ok.
All my documents are now in hand so the next thing to do is submit all to DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS( DFA) for furthers authentication...OH MY GOD one documents is denied.I rush to came back to my province.The judge then type another documents for me.The next day I fly to Manila again via Cebu Pacific Airlines.I handle the documents to the officer and again it denied...( are they kidding on me:( ) the officer told me go to the supreme court in Manila for specimen signature of the judge.When I reached the office of the court administration it was closed and the guard told me to wait for another one more hour.Wow I'm patiently waited at the corridor with an empty stomuch and too many mosquitto bites me.(what a badluck...lucky the mosquitto they got something to eat...me grrrrr).When the doors open I look for the SC CHEIF JUDICIAL STAFF OFFICER.oh men! 3steps 1.go to 201 records
2.proceed to cashier at second floor( what the hell...so long que)
3.return to personnel for issuance of certification..thanks to judge MARIA TERESA O.DEMESA-RAZAL she is kind to sign and don't ask any question...hnmmmm unlike others to many blah blah blahhh and not doing their job waiting someone will give them a tip..So I went back to DFA almost closing time 4 pm.I give all the documents.(bULLSHIT )another officer look at my papers and directly told me to go back to my province and do the Authority of Notarial Act.Why can't they have have same procedure.which one first? I ask but instead of getting an answer I have been scolding for being stupid" Tanga daw ako"(bravo how would I know if all the documents wasn't in order.it wasn't my job)..Again I go back to my province those officer think I'm rich to fly back and forth easily.I'm so exusted it almost a week I don't have proper sleep and eat and the travelling back is so miserable coz I have to catch evry last minute fligh or last minute ride(if this goes on ....I'm dead)Its dangerous to travel especially in Manila area.I came out from my dorm at 3am in the morning just to catch the first flight.Once I reached in Dumaguete airport I have to rush ride the tricycle to cath the morning ferry boat then when I'm in Siquijor wharf I had to rush to the Trial court in Larena before lunchtime.Thanks I'm able to make the time.Waited so long for the judge I get irritated.( sucks. .....to many applicant people ...less officer on the counter)
I finally get the documents and heed to buy air ticket again.The lady have been laughing" yayaman ang cebu pacific sayo" yah I hope I got the right one so I won't be coming back again.My pocket will be empty soon if this goes on.I decided to be at home for one day to relax and fly the next day.
I'm so early in the que hoping evrything will be ok.As I give my documents I'm so nervous.Finally all documents are accepted and wait 3 working days for release.I'm happily went back to my dorm( ladies dormitory in Guzman college dormitory,this is place where I always live evrytime I'm in Manila..I feel safe inside this dorm).
All documents are ready.Next is how to get a 3 months Visa to entry to Malaysia.As far as I know one month is enough.The embassy of malaysia give me the form to fill-up.I realized I don't have the sponsor letter yet.(tama nga yong taga DFA..tanga ako)So I called fiancee to send m e the letter with approval from phippine embassy in KL.Fiancee went to KL noticed that the requirements needed one more filipino sponsor who is residing in Malaysia.He got headache where to find .( hahahahah...I get revenge..this time its his turn to get headache to deal the processsing...hahahaha. .evil me^_^)
It take for him one week to find(of course he didn't do it evryday.he have to go to work na..)He submit all the papers to KL and come back after three working days.Payment cost RM 96.25.Its cheap the thing make it so costly is hiring the pilipino to help us as our second sponsor.We give more than four hundred( evil money,without it all useless..IS IT MONEY NEXT TO GOD THAT WE MUST PRAISE TO HAVE...)After send me through DHL takes one day for me to received.
While waiting for my Visa I have time to meet some old friends in Manila.Talking old memories and sharing experienced in life.October 12 ,2011 my Visa was been approved and on this day its fiancee's birthday.(wow good birthday news for him...soon ill be on his side...ewwww grosss me).
OCTOBER 13,2011 I decide to go back to province before going to Malaysia.I want to settle something important .( I listed the events in my other notes tittle"THE OTHER SIDE OF ME") all who was reading this might think"huh!this girl doesn't care to share her life" so what then read the other one before you judge me "INSIDE OF ME".
October 22,2011 at 8:45 pm is my flight to Malaysia.By five pm I already in the airport.(before that I treat all my roomates at Mc donalds...yummy in my tummy..cost one thousand seven hundred pesos...hehehehe that's my farewell..I'm busy in philippines that I forgot to take a snap in evry corner hehehe.) I Check in my laugage about six then proceed to the entrance.First pay travel taxt,next airport tax then fall inline to the immigration counter.Scary men all officer are look alike an angry bird.Really I'm not kidding coz when its my turn,the officer asked.What's your purpose in going there?(he asked that almost her eyeball poop out..crazy fellow). The officer point to room and told me to go therr for the interview.I thought he didn't mean tobr rude to me but actually "they does".Inside the room there's a line for some passengers who need to undergo for interview.They give you a form to fill-up and wait for your turn to be called.(only those tourist purpose shall be go for further interview,the rest will be automatically get in).I remember that to prevent from detention I must show my visa and the return ticket .Officer in charge in that are so mean in asking question.I heared the girl next to me that its her third time attempt and yet still failed and her trip is cancelled again.OH MY GOD I'm so nervous .One officer had asked me then the another one came asked me also( I'm thinking ...I know what they want...tips..another woman before me hand an eveloped to the officer and then she's been given approval without asking too many question.If they want to prevent human trafficking then why can't they do their job without involving money..anyway I'm may stupid but not stupid to abide law.I'm not going to give any cents.I've been seating there for almost an hour that I almost wanted to give up...The officer asked another question if I have any prof in which the person who invite m e is really my true fiancee.I quickly take my phone and show all my photos together with him.(taking photo with him before I go back home help me in that question...what a question.what that proof of purchased hhehehe).
Finally released from that room.Present my passport to the immigration again and proceed to departure area.Reaching to the area one officer approaching"have you done the enterview?Yes sir and avoid him as much as I can .(Grrrrrr really suck experienced and suck officer...make things so difficult.)
Midnight the plane landed in KL airport.It was 23rd of October.So far in the immigration of malaysia they don't ask much question coz when ask who invited me? I point to my fiancee standing behind the immigration counter.Fiancee was inside the immigration point as he also take same day flight with me.He's flight is 10 pm from Singapore to Malaysia and also he was worry if the immigration officer will detained me..Thanks God I'm came safe.Drop to the nearest hotel first to stay.The next day is Monday so went to Philippine embassy in KL.The documents are all accepted and wait for aftet 13 working days approval.
Wowwwwww so long to wait" fiancee complained.After waiting we went to collect the documents then next procedure is to submit it to department of foreign affair of malaysia in WISMA PUTRAJAYA for further endorsement.Then at the same day went to JPN registration office.Choose a place where you want to get married , probably is where you live.We went back to Kluang Johor as it was his place and then give all the documents uncluding the JPN letters of approval.( make sure to photocopy all documents coz in every counter all officer will ask a photocopy.)The officer told us to look for another officer to interpret what has been stated in the forms .All is written in Malay..gosh! They even speak in Malay and fiancee and have to translate it into mandarine so I will understand.WHAT A WONDERFUL NEW WORLD TO ME.
ALmost done and have to wait for another 3 weeks then marraige ceremony will be held.By that time I'm officially marraid by law but not yet on chinese law coz have to wait the suspicious date(watever....)
This coming 12th of december 2011 our hearts will be folded into one.(Amen...praise the lord).
Tan tantantannn..........
The episode of being a wife wasn't end yet...to be continued after the ceremony.Still a lot to process before I will be legally an malaysian wife...(lol......hoping I have much time)

ReplyDeleteHi Remz
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your humorous but factual post. I'm Malaysian, I've a FIlipino girlfriend recently, and if all goes well, we could get married in Malaysia one day. The "problem" is I'm divorced (legally) without children. She's 23 years old, still single. I wonder if there would be a big problem getting married because of my status.
Oh, I'm truly amazed that you did everything by yourself in Manila - going back and forth, spending so much money, time and energy before coming to Malaysia alone - and then face more problems here but I'm glad you're happily married now.
Best wishes to you, and hope for your reply soon

Hi, Last time I also post my questions regarding this stuff. I want to share my experience for our marriage registration. I follow every steps and provide every documents needed. After waiting 21 days, we went to his hometown, IPOH JPN to register, but the officer wont let us register because of my visa, she said that my visa MUST be remark as: "Making arrangement for marriage"
ReplyDeleteI have 30days extension that time, I got my visa extension from KL Immigration(providing also those necessary documents to prove that im getting marry). My fiance and I drive back and fort to Putrajaya, many times. We ask ourselves what step we missed out? but we get tired and cannot work properly, that's why our friend recommend an agent to fix for us. No hustle, but you have to spend a lot. What I was trying to say is, maybe last time its easy to do this steps, but now, i don't think so that the JPN officers or even the immigration will let you do the easy steps. Of course, if the agent handle everything for you, the government will be paid also.
Regards.
Thank you for sharing Ms Anna
Deletehi, may i know where u get agent to arrange your marriage papers? thank you
