Hiring help at home

What sponsoring household staff covers

Employer-eligibility confirmation process icon

Employer-eligibility confirmation

We check your residence visa, household income, and living space against the standard a private sponsor must meet before committing to hire any domestic staff.

Role definition and contract setup process icon

Role definition and contract setup

The worker's duties are written into a clear employment contract, because the role you declare — maid, nanny, driver, or caregiver — governs which permit category the file uses.

Worker fitness and identity prep process icon

Worker fitness and identity prep

The employee's passport, photographs, and medical fitness clearance are organised so the worker arrives at the permit stage already cleared rather than waiting in queues.

Domestic-worker permit and entry process icon

Domestic-worker permit and entry

The domestic-worker permit is applied for and the entry or status step managed so the staff member can legally begin working in your home.

Worker Emirates ID and stamping process icon

Worker Emirates ID and stamping

Biometric enrolment and residence stamping are completed so the worker holds full legal standing, not just an approval in principle.

Sponsorship-transfer readiness process icon

Sponsorship-transfer readiness

Where a worker moves between households, we prepare the transfer so the sponsorship changes hands without an unnecessary cancellation and restart.

You as the sponsor

From household readiness to a working sponsorship

A private sponsorship makes you the legal employer, so the sequence is built around your duties as that sponsor as much as around the worker's own documents.

Sponsor-household qualification

We verify your income and accommodation satisfy the conditions for taking a domestic worker into your home.

02

Contract and category fixing

The employment contract is drawn up to match the actual role, locking the file to the correct permit category from the start.

03

Worker documentation and fitness

The employee's papers are assembled and the medical fitness test booked so the health clearance is in hand before submission.

Permit lodging and worker entry

The permit is lodged with the relevant authority and the worker's entry or in-country status change is managed through to approval.

What a household-sponsor file assembles

Sponsor identity and residency

Your passport and Emirates ID establish you as the household sponsor legally responsible for the worker.

Worker passport and images

The employee's passport copy and recent photographs are collected to the permit specification.

Role-specific employment contract

A contract naming the worker's duties is prepared, since the stated role determines the permit category and the conditions attached.

Timing, charges, and what stalls a household file

Timing, charges, and what stalls a household file

How the processing runs

With a clean contract and a fit worker the steps move steadily, and a domestic-worker visa typically issues for a two-year term that renews while you stay eligible.

  • Permit and entry approval
  • Medical fitness clearance
  • Emirates ID and stamping

What sets the sponsorship cost

The figure follows the worker type, the validity term, and the medical and Emirates ID charges, with government and stamping fees layered on top.

  • Worker category hired
  • Visa duration chosen
  • Medical, ID, and stamping fees

What holds a household sponsorship up

Files slow when the contract role does not match the permit category, the worker's medical is outstanding, or the household income falls short of the condition for the staff count.

  • Role and permit category mismatch
  • Pending worker fitness test
  • Income below the household threshold

Compliant past day one

Where our household-sponsorship support reaches

Worker-type categorisation

We assign maids, nannies, drivers, and caregivers to the right permit category so the role on the contract and the role on the visa never diverge.

Employer-duty briefing

We explain what becoming a legal household sponsor obliges you to do, so the relationship stays compliant beyond the day the visa is stamped.

Transfer and replacement handling

When a worker leaves or you bring in a replacement, we manage the sponsorship change without forcing the household to start the process from zero.

Multi-worker and renewal management

For households sponsoring more than one staff member, we keep the renewals coordinated so no worker's residence quietly lapses.
