Author : Flood Hutchinson | Published On : 30 Oct 2025

Hiring and sponsoring a maid or domestic worker in Dubai allows you to legally employ full-time household help under UAE law. Whether you’re hiring a nanny, cleaner, or housemaid, this guide by Excellence Center Tadbeer explains every step of the maid visa sponsorship process in Dubai — requirements, documents, costs, and processing time.

What Is a Maid Visa in Dubai?

A maid visa (also known as a domestic worker visa) is a residence permit that allows families or Tadbeer centers to legally employ domestic workers in the UAE. The visa is valid for two years and is issued through the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) and GDRFA (General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs – Dubai).

There are two ways to sponsor a maid visa:

Through a Tadbeer Center (like Excellence Center) – easiest and most compliant way.

Direct Family Sponsorship – handled by the employer directly through GDRFA.
