UAE Maid and Domestic Worker Visa Dubai

Important: Salary & Accommodation Rules

To sponsor a maid in Dubai, the sponsor must have a minimum monthly salary of AED 25,000 (or AED 22,000 with company accommodation). Additionally, bachelors are not permitted to sponsor domestic workers; you must be living with your family.

How it Works

Maid Visa Journey

The complete legal roadmap for securing your domestic worker's residency.

1

Entry Permit

We apply for the initial Employment Entry Permit (pink visa) allowing your maid to enter the UAE or begin the status change.

2

Status Change

If the maid is already inside the UAE on a visit visa, we process the official Status Change to an employment visa.

3

Medical Fitness

We type the medical application. The maid must attend a DHA medical center for a standard blood test and x-ray.

4

EID & Biometrics

We submit the Emirates ID application. If it's their first EID, they will visit an ICP center for fingerprinting.

5

MOHRE Labor Contract

We draft and submit the official Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation (MOHRE) domestic worker contract.

Visa Stamping

The digital residency visa is issued instantly by GDRFA and the physical Emirates ID is couriered to you.

Documents Required

Ensure all documents are clear color copies to avoid GDRFA rejection.
