Maid Visa Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum salary to sponsor a maid?
The minimum salary requirement is typically AED 4,000 - 5,000 per month depending on the emirate and employer's status. This ensures capacity to pay the domestic worker fairly.
How long does maid visa processing take?
Typically 3-6 weeks from application to visa approval, depending on document completeness and government processing times. YABS expedites the process through established government relationships.
What if I don't have a separate room for the maid?
UAE law requires adequate accommodation for domestic workers. If you don't have separate room space, you may not be eligible for maid visa sponsorship. Sharing a room is not acceptable.
Can I change my maid's employment terms after hiring?
Any changes to employment terms must be mutually agreed and properly documented. Major changes may require government approval. We advise clear contracts from the beginning.
What are the working hour limits for domestic workers?
Domestic workers should have reasonable working hours with at least one day off per week. Labor laws protect their rights. Employment contracts must clearly specify working conditions.
Can I sponsor a family maid or live-in nanny?
Yes, both family maids and live-in nannies can be sponsored under the domestic worker visa category. The same requirements apply regarding salary, accommodation, and contract terms.
