You can inquire from the Church of the Epiphany,

http://www.epiphany-qatar.org/.

We got married at this church. They will give you the documentary requirements prior to marriage (a lot of paperwork). Both of you have to undergo blood tests only in accredited hospitals. We had ours done in Al Emadi Hospital - QR1200 each.

I hope the above helps. You can send me a PM if you need more information. Best wishes:)

There isn't a pregnancy test. It's a simple blood test to identify if you can pass on certain genetic diseases like thalassimia to your children.

No, you don't need a DNA test but you need paperwork from your embassies (such as proof you are single) and both must be residents of Qatar. Then you need a clergy person to marry you and counseling.

DNA test? Why?

Guys,

check if you can get married abroad.

Doha is difficult and needs time to obtain all needed documents and you need an expensive DNA test.

if you are willing to go through all the procedures, one of the churches that you will regularly attend in the religious complex (next t Barwa) will assist.
