Choose Your Nanny Visa Sponsorship Option

Family Sponsorship (Direct)

Sponsor a nanny directly under your own UAE residence visa — you act as the legal employer and fulfil all requirements for domestic worker visas.

Tadbeer / Licensed Agency Sponsorship

Hire through a MOHRE-licensed domestic worker centre (e.g., Tadbeer) — the centre handles recruitment, visa processing and compliance.

Transfer Existing Visa

Transfer sponsorship if the nanny already has a valid domestic worker visa with another family or agency.

Step-by-Step Nanny Visa Process

Step 1: Check Eligibility & Requirements

The sponsor must be a UAE resident or citizen with a valid residence visa, meet income/ housing criteria (e.g., adequate accommodation for the nanny), and agree to sponsor under domestic worker rules.

Step 2: Apply for Domestic Worker Work Permit

Submit the initial work permit application through MOHRE or via a licensed agency (Tadbeer).

Step 3: Entry Permit & Arrival

Once approved, an entry permit is issued for the nanny to enter the UAE if she’s outside the country.

Step 4: Medical Fitness & Insurance

After arrival or status change, the nanny undergoes a medical fitness test and the sponsor must arrange health insurance.

Step 5: Emirates ID & Visa Stamping

Complete Emirates ID processing and get the residence visa stamped on the nanny’s passport — typically valid for 2 years.

Childcare-role contract drafting

The contract is written specifically around full-time childcare duties, because a nanny's role is judged differently from general household help and the permit must reflect that.

Timing, the cost picture, and what holds a file up

How processing unfolds

With a clear childcare contract and a fit candidate the steps move steadily, and the nanny visa is issued for a one-to-two-year term that renews while you remain eligible.

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

What sets the hiring cost

The figure follows the staff type, the validity term, and the medical and Emirates ID charges, with government and stamping fees on top, repeating at each short-cycle renewal.

  • Childcare-staff category
  • Visa duration chosen
  • Medical, ID, and stamping fees

What delays a childcare file

Hold-ups arise from a contract that does not clearly state childcare duties, an outstanding medical, or income below the condition for the household size.

  • Childcare role not clearly defined
  • Pending medical fitness result
  • Income below the household threshold

Keeping care covered

Where our nanny-visa support reaches

Full-time childcare role framing

We define the childcare scope precisely so the contract, the permit, and your family's expectations all line up.

Care-continuity stewardship

We manage renewals proactively so your children never face a stretch without their nanny's legal status in place.

When a nanny moves on, we handle the change so a new childcare hire slots in without leaving the household uncovered.

Regulatory alignment

We keep the sponsorship compliant with household-staff rules so the family's arrangement stays sound over time.
