Re: British giving birth in Dubai
Def recommend medi-express. They sorted the whole thing for us when we had our first baby three months ago. Just check the spelling on the english-language birth certificate, they messed this bit up but corrected it on request.
American Hospital was first class - the midwives especially.
The whole embassy/passport thing was very straight forward.
You obviously have to be married to deliver here, but we know folks who got pregnant and got married just after. The hospital do the maths and if birth date - wedding date = <9 months, I am told CID will fingerprint mother and footprint baby, nothing else.
Hope it all goes well!

That's *if* you get married as soon as you discover you're expecting, and the pregnancy could reasonably be explained away as a "honeymoon baby" (even though it wasn't). Getting married later than that is asking for prison and/or deportation.

Re: British giving birth in Dubai
Thanks for all your advice. Due to special circumstances I will be delivering in the UK. Yes I am married to my husband but now want to know what is needed in order to produce a birth certificate and a passport for my child in the UK. This is needed in order for my husband to sponsor my child and for him to travel back to the UAE. What do we need to do here in order to sponsor our child? And how much would the fees be? Also, I want to cancel the visa which I currently have on my work to go to my husband. What do we need to do to do that?
there are two other website you should check out re these issues I thin you will get more info... I dont know if I can put them here I think they get censored for some bizarre reason...
expatwoman.com and ***********.com.....
also do PM me if you have any questions I just had a baby here and I'm english.....
Good Luck

Re: British giving birth in Dubai
So you'll be in the UK delivering your baby, your husband is in Dubai, and you want to know what's involved in bringing your baby over here to live?
It's pretty straightforward. Once the baby is born, you'll just need to apply for a passport using the form you can get from the nearest Post Office. I think you'll need to send birth certificates for you, your husband and the baby along with the form, and maybe your marriage certificate too - it's all clearly laid out in the notes that come with the form.
Once you've got the passport, you can fly straight back to the UAE, bringing the baby in on a normal tourist visa. Then your husband can apply for the baby's UAE residence visa, for which he'll need a salary certificate, the baby's birth certificate, *maybe* a copy of your marriage certificate (can't remember now, although it was only a couple of weeks ago that we did this!), the baby's original passport, and a copy of his own passport.
You may need to get the baby's birth certificate attested in the UK before it will be accepted in the UAE, though. That's something for you to check.

Re: British giving birth in Dubai
my husband born outside the UK (German) because my FIL working for RAF. He can passed on the citizenship to his son eventhough born outside the UK.
The catch is ... if my son's wife delivering the baby outside the UK ... the baby won't be able to get the british citizenship.

Re: British giving birth in Dubai
Hi there
Just a quick question, I left the UK a few months ago and I am now working and living here. I am also pregnant and planning to give birth this year in the UAE. Will he still have the British Citizenship if he is born in the UAE and not in the UK? Is there any way round getting him to get the British passport if he is born in the UAE? I hope you can help me on this question else I will just call up the British Embassy and get more information from them.
Thanks
