How to apply for a maid in Dubai?

Many people in Dubai find it difficult and time-consuming to hire a housekeeper or maid if they don’t have the proper resources.

To sponsor a maid in Dubai, the sponsor must have a monthly salary of at least AED 6,000 or AED 5,000 with Accommodation.

Step by step guide

You’ll need to familiarise yourself with all of the rules and regulations before you can begin the process. In order for it to be a success, you’ll need to put in a lot of time and money.
It’s your responsibility to pay the person you’ve hired as a sponsor, as well as provide them with other benefits. In order to bring the maid to Dubai, the sponsor must be aware of the laws and conditions you must meet.
Additionally, in order to obtain a housemaid visa in Dubai, applicants must be at least 18 years of age and must be sponsored by one of the following countries: India, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Bangladesh, or Indonesia.
The minimum wage for maids in Dubai is broken down by country. It is up to the sponsors whether or not they want to pay above the minimum wage:

Application Form
Passport of Sponsor
Passport copy of Maid/ Nanny.
Photos of Nanny.
Paystub or contract with the sponsor
a minimum of a two-bedroom apartment under the terms of an Ejari contract with the sponsor
If the sponsor and maid are from the same country, an affidavit from the embassy is required.
Health Certificate of the maid from the Country of Origin.

Filling/submitting the application

To obtain an employment entry permit, you’ll need to have the required paperwork typed up by a reputable Tadbeer center. Under a normal application, this will cost you approximately AED 110, plus the typing fee.
Upon arrival in the UAE, the sponsor must obtain a Medical Fitness Report and apply for Emirates ID.
Passport of a maid to be stamped with a residence stamp.
The sponsor should be given a Domestic Worker Card, and the maid should be given an Emirates ID card.
This form along with all the aforementioned documents must be submitted to the GDRFA.
AED 5,200 is the non-refundable fee for a Dubai maid visa or stamping fee, and a refundable deposit of AED 2,000 must be paid before the maid can leave the UAE.
An additional AED 100 will be charged if you need emergency services.
You can give your maid a copy of the approved permit once you receive it. Only the original must be deposited at the DNATA Visa Desk or DNRD counter in Dubai International Airport if you have only sent the copy.
The maid’s passport will be stamped with a one-year residence stamp after she signs. A ‘Domestic Worker Identity Card’ will be issued to the sponsor by the officer.
You can get your maid’s Emirates ID card at any authorized typer or official government portals, the final step in sponsoring her in Dubai.

When deciding whether to complete the entire process on your own or hire a maid service, this is an important step.
Tadbeer centers, which are government-approved service centers that assist in the hiring of domestic and household workers in Dubai and the rest of the UAE, are one of the easiest ways to find a nanny to work for your family in Dubai.
There are several maid recruitment agencies in Dubai, including Tadbeer. They can help with everything from obtaining a visa to making travel arrangements for your new domestic helper.
Depending on the level of service you require, it can cost anywhere from AED 3,000 to AED 6,000 to hire a maid in Dubai through an agency.
As a sponsor, you must be aware that some agencies only apply for a tourist visa for your maid, and as a result, you will have to re-apply for the maid’s residency visa at an additional cost.
