Can we live together if we are waiting for the date of marriage?

Hi

My girlfriend has a job offer for 2 years in Doha. We have decided to go together (I will apply for a student visa).

We have decided to marry in the embassy of her country in Doha but the matter is that they told us it could take some months...
Could we have any problem for living together during the time they prepare our expedient and give us a date? It is ilegal there?
What is more recommendable in this situation, to live in a compound or in a tower? Could help to take a 2BD flat or villa and say we are separately in case we are caught? maybe is a stupid thing but if we can prove we are waiting for the date could help and they do not deport us...

sorry to say, but very true, its illegal.

you could atleast consider if you both are under same sponsorship & company has provided you with accomodation.

anyways, if not to take risk, you will need to rent seperately....

further, as you wish.... :) best of luck ..

It's technically illegal. Save yourself the trouble and get married before coming here.
