What is a Maid Visa?

A maid visa allows a UAE resident to legally sponsor a domestic worker — a maid, nanny, cook, or driver — under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 9 of 2022. Sponsorship must go through a licensed Tadbeer centre or a MOHRE-approved private route, and both come with minimum income and accommodation requirements you'll need to meet. Employing someone on a tourist or visit visa, or "borrowing" someone else's sponsored worker, is illegal and carries real fines. Ampsy Consultancy confirms your eligibility and manages the sponsorship process correctly the first time.

If you are ready to apply for maid visa sponsorship in the UAE, Ampsy Consultancy handles the full process, from the work permit for your foreign domestic worker to the final Emirates ID. We check your eligibility first, explain your sponsorship options and prepare every document, so your UAE maid visa application is complete and correct from the start.

Every household is different, so we begin by understanding who you want to sponsor, such as a housemaid, nanny, cook or driver, and which sponsorship route suits your family best. We explain the difference between a licensed Tadbeer centre and private sponsorship in simple terms, so you can choose with confidence. Once you decide, we prepare the employment contract, submit the work permit for your foreign domestic worker and coordinate the medical test, health insurance and Emirates ID. We also help you set up salary payment correctly and track your renewal date, so your domestic worker's residency stays valid and you avoid last-minute problems. With one team managing each step, you do not need to visit multiple offices or worry about missing paperwork. Whether this is your first UAE maid visa or a renewal, Ampsy Consultancy keeps the process clear, organised and stress-free for your family.

How to Apply for Maid Visa in the UAE: Steps We Handle

Eligibility Assessment

We confirm you meet the minimum income and accommodation conditions before you commit to a route or a candidate.

Tadbeer or Private Sponsorship

We help you weigh the fully-managed Tadbeer route against private sponsorship, based on your budget and how much ongoing management you want.

MOHRE Contract & Documentation

The mandatory Unified Standard Employment Contract, entry permit, and supporting documents are prepared and filed correctly through our PRO and visa services.

Medical Test, Insurance & Emirates ID

We coordinate the worker's medical fitness test, mandatory health insurance, and Emirates ID application.

WPS Salary Setup & Renewals

We help you set up compliant salary payments through the Wages Protection System and track your annual renewal date.

Work Permit for Foreign Domestic Worker

A work permit for a foreign domestic worker allows your household helper to work legally for you in the UAE. It is linked to your sponsorship and employment contract, and the worker must complete the required medical, insurance and Emirates ID steps. Requirements are set by UAE authorities and can change, so we confirm the current rules for your case before we start. If you plan to sponsor family members as well, see our family residence visa service.

Having a valid work permit protects both you and your domestic worker. It shows that the employment is official, that the terms of the contract are clear, and that your household helper is working under the correct sponsor. Employing a worker without the proper permit and visa can lead to legal problems, so it is important to complete the process correctly before your helper starts work.

Our team explains each stage of the work permit for your foreign domestic worker, prepares the required documents and follows up on the application until it is completed. We also guide you on salary payment, renewals and any changes in your situation, such as a new address or a change in household needs. If you are not sure whether to use a licensed Tadbeer centre or private sponsorship for your maid visa, we compare both options and help you choose the one that fits your family. Contact Ampsy Consultancy today and we will confirm the next steps for your UAE maid visa application.

Documents Required for a UAE Maid Visa

The exact list depends on your sponsorship route and your personal situation. Typically we ask for your passport and Emirates ID, proof of accommodation, proof of income, and the passport details and photo of your domestic worker. We confirm the full list for your case before we start.

Depending on whether you choose a licensed Tadbeer centre or private sponsorship, additional documents may be requested, such as a signed employment contract, marital status or family details, or proof of your residence in the UAE. If your domestic worker is already inside the UAE, we also check their current status and any earlier visa or permit records, so the new application does not face avoidable delays. All documents should be clear, valid and consistent with each other, because even a small mistake in a name, date or passport number can slow down your UAE maid visa application. Before we submit anything, our team reviews every document, tells you exactly what is missing and prepares the file correctly. This makes it easier to apply for maid visa sponsorship and complete the work permit for your foreign domestic worker without repeated visits or corrections. If any document is not in Arabic or English, our translation services can help.

Sponsor Household Help the Right Way

Sponsoring a domestic worker involves more moving parts than most people expect — income thresholds, a formal MOHRE contract, mandatory insurance, and ongoing salary compliance. Ampsy Consultancy manages the process end to end, so your household is fully compliant from the first day your worker arrives. Explore all our UAE visa services.

Frequently Asked Questions

For expatriate sponsors, a minimum monthly income around AED 25,000 is the commonly applied threshold for private sponsorship, though Tadbeer-sponsored arrangements can have a lower threshold. UAE nationals typically face different conditions. We confirm the exact figure that applies to your situation before you apply.

Tadbeer is a government-regulated centre that handles recruitment and sponsorship as a bundled package, generally at a lower upfront cost and lower risk for the sponsor. Private sponsorship costs more but gives you direct control over hiring a specific worker. We help you weigh both against your situation.

Self-sponsorship is more restricted for unmarried male sponsors, and applications from this category are generally handled on a case-by-case basis through a Tadbeer centre rather than a straightforward private application. We advise on the realistic route for your circumstances.

Processing generally takes one to three weeks depending on documentation completeness and how quickly the medical test result comes back. We keep your file complete and moving to avoid unnecessary delays.

You choose a sponsorship route, sign the employment contract, complete the work permit, medical test, insurance and Emirates ID steps, and set up salary payment. Ampsy Consultancy manages these steps for you.

It is the official permission for a domestic worker to work for a specific sponsor in the UAE. It is issued as part of the maid visa process once the sponsor and contract requirements are met. Company staff are sponsored differently, through a UAE employment visa.

The cost depends on your sponsorship route and the services you need. Call Ampsy Consultancy for a clear quote for your case.
