💍 Step-by-Step: How We Prepared for Our Marriage in Malaysia 🇲🇾❤️🇹🇷

A lot of people asked me:

“How did you get married to a foreigner (Turkish citizen) in Malaysia?”

So here it is — the full story (with love and paperwork 😂)

---

🏢 Step 1: Go to the Turkish Embassy in Kuala Lumpur 🇹🇷

📍 Location: Menara Tan & Tan, Kuala Lumpur

⏰ Level: 18th Floor

Honestly... I was SO NERVOUS 😰 the first time I went.

But no worries — I’ll guide you through!

🔐 Important Reminder Before You Go:

Bring your IC or passport ✅

Bring your partner’s passport ✅

You MUST have an appointment, or you can’t enter ❌

🖥️ How to Make an Appointment:

1. Go to the official Turkish Embassy website

2. Select “Make an Appointment” (don’t worry — the website can auto-translate to English 🇬🇧)

3. Choose your service type & fill in your info

4. You’ll receive an appointment date and confirmation email 

Easy, right? 😊

🧾 What Happens Inside the Embassy?

When you arrive:

1. Security will collect your phone 📵

2. They’ll give you a card and send you to the waiting area

3. Wait for your number to be called

Then, go to the counter and:

Submit your partner’s passport and Turkish ID (Kimlik Card)

Request the “Certificate of No Impediment” (Sijil Bujang / Single Status Cert)

💵 Fee: Around RM84 (please double-check)

After you receive the 1-page certificate, you’re ready for the next step!

🌐 Step 2: Register on the e-Munakahat Website 💻

For those getting married in Pahang, you must register at:

🔗 e-Munakahat Website (auto-translate works!)

📝 Fill out all the required forms, including:

Personal details (for both parties)

Marriage location

Witness info, etc.

📄 Then, print out the completed form and prepare these supporting documents:

Copies of IC/passport (both)

The certificate from the Turkish Embassy

Photos

And any other requested files

Make sure everything is clear and neatly compiled 📚

🛂 Step 3: Get Kebenaran Berkahwin at Immigration 

Before you can proceed to Jabatan Agama Islam, you MUST go to Immigration to apply for:

✅ Permission to Marry a Foreigner (Kebenaran Berkahwin Bagi Bukan Warganegara)

🗂️ Bring all the compiled documents (with embassy cert too!)

Once approved, you're almost there 🥹

---

🗓️ Timeline Breakdown (Approximate):

📍 Embassy Appointment: 1 day

📍 Immigration Process: 3 days

📍 Jabatan Agama Islam: 3 days

✅ Once everything is approved, you’ll receive the final document (Catatan Nikah) to bring on your actual wedding day!
