A maid’s visa can be obtained by the head of the
family (called sponsor, and usually the male), whose salary is not
less than AED 6000 a month or AED 5000 + accommodation. Bachelors
are not eligible to sponsor a maid. You can only sponsor a maid from
the following countries: India, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Ethiopia,
Bangladesh, and Indonesia.
Employment of domestic workers now requires work contract
A new unified contract (called employment agreement
for domestic workers and sponsors) to regulate the rights and duties
of domestic workers has been put into place from 1st April, 2007.
The contract will be valid for one year with option to renew and governs
vacation, air tickets, medical care and procedures, in case of breach
of contract. See media update, media update.
The sponsor must provide the maid: Airfare to home country
at least once every two years, decent living conditions in sponsor’s
house or additional AED 500 for external housing. All 11 articles
of the unified contract must be adhered to.
Country specific requirements
Do keep in mind that each country has its own regulations
regarding minimum salary, age etc and you will have to check with
the respective consulate embassy for these details. A maid from India
or Philippines must be older than 30, but not over 60. Even recommended
minimum salaries differ, with Indian maids to be paid from AED 1,100
onwards as advised by the Indian Embassy, while new regulations from
the Philippines say the minimum salary should be AED 1,400.. As per
the Sri Lankan embassy, the minimum salary for Sri Lankan maids is
AED 825.
Tip: Maids from the sponsor’s country are subject
to approval by DNRD. In addition, an affidavit from your country's
embassy/consulate certifying that the maid is not related to you.
If you need more than one maid for a large family, DNRD has the right
to decide, but much will depend on sponsor’s salary and size
of the family. Always carry copies and original documents, including
labour contracts, salary certificates and passports. You may be asked
to show your accommodation contract and are advised to carry this.
