Hiring a maid in Dubai requires following a legal process to obtain a maid visa. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you understand how to sponsor a maid in Dubai.



Who Can Sponsor a Maid?

To sponsor a maid, you must:

  • Be a UAE resident with a valid visa.
  • Earn at least AED 25,000 per month.
  • Live in a suitable accommodation for the maid.

Steps to Get a Maid Visa

1. Apply for Entry Permit

Visit the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) or contact to a typing center to apply for a maid’s entry permit. Required documents include:

  • Your Emirates ID and passport copy
  • Maid’s passport copy
  • Tenancy contract and salary certificate

2. Medical Test & Emirates ID

After the maid arrives, she must undergo a medical test at an approved center. You should also apply for her Emirates ID.

3. Visa Stamping & Residence Permit

Submit the maid’s medical test results to GDRFA and pay the visa fees. The maid’s passport will then be stamped with a residence permit, allowing her to legally work in Dubai.

Costs Involved

  • Visa application fees: Approx. AED 5,000 - AED 7,000
  • Annual sponsorship fee: AED 5,000
  • Maid’s salary: Varies based on nationality and experience

Renewal & Cancellation

  • The maid visa must be renewed annually.
  • If you wish to cancel the visa, you must book the maid’s return ticket and complete exit procedures.

Following these steps will ensure a smooth visa process for your maid in Dubai. Always check with GDRFA for the latest updates.
