Maid Visa In Dubai

Obtaining a maid’s visa in Dubai is a simple and straightforward process. This visa can be sponsored by the head of the household (typically the male). To be able to apply for this visa, you must have an income of at least AED 10,000 and a tenancy contract (indicating a minimum of a two-bedroom flat), and Ejari attestation.

Validity

1-year validity

While the UAE maid visa is initially valid for one year, it requires annual renewal. In contrast, several other UAE work visas have longer validity periods, typically extending to two or even three years.

The total expenditure for two years would be between 16, 000 and 18, 000 AED. We’ve listed all of the costs associated with obtaining a maid visa, as well as the renewal costs, so you can get an idea of how much money you’ll need to spend over the course of two years.

Apply in Dubai

The majority of expats in Dubai hire maids from within the nation. Many maids swap employers due to Dubai’s independent employee/employer norms and regulations. If your maid’s residence visa was canceled and you still want to proceed with the maid visa, you can begin the process right away. In case you require additional time to gather the necessary documents and complete the process of document attestation, there’s the option to apply for a tourist visa change, all within the UAE, without the need to exit the country.

Cancellation of Maid Visa

If you need to cancel your maid visa due to poor performance or any reason, you can do so during your visa’s validity time by following these steps:

• Fill out the resident visa cancellation form for Maid.
• You must provide a copy of the maid’s passport, a one-way ticket for the maid to her home country, the sponsor’s passport, and a copy of the maid’s domestic card/labor card.
• Get your visa cancellation form.
• After receiving the cancellation form, transport the maid to the airport on the day of departure, together with the cancellation paperwork and Maid’s original passport. To obtain the sticker, you should submit one visa cancellation form to the DNATA cancellation counter, and you’ll also need another form to request a 2,000 AED deposit reimbursement.
• At the airport, check in the maid and acquire a boarding pass.
