What is a UAE Maid Visa?

Sponsor and worker requirements

The sponsor and domestic worker must meet the applicable UAE requirements before the application can proceed. Supporting documents and financial or employment requirements can vary according to the specific case.

We review the case before submission so the sponsor understands the applicable requirements and expected process.

From application to residency

The domestic worker visa process may involve entry or status procedures, employment documentation, medical fitness, Emirates ID and final residency formalities.

The exact sequence depends on whether the domestic worker is outside or already inside the UAE and the applicable sponsorship route.

Keep domestic worker residency valid

Domestic worker residency and related documentation need to remain valid throughout the employment relationship.

We can assist with applicable renewal procedures and help sponsors prepare the required documents before expiry.

Maid Visa costs depend on the case

The total cost is not the same for every domestic worker visa. Government charges, medical fitness, Emirates ID, insurance, employment-related requirements and other applicable costs can affect the final amount.

Any government charges are separate from professional assistance fees.
