Overview

What domestic worker visa sponsorship involves

Sponsoring a nanny, housekeeper, driver or other domestic worker runs through the Tadbeer system, the UAE’s regulated channel for domestic worker recruitment and sponsorship. The sponsor needs to meet an income threshold, and mandatory insurance and a registered contract are required before the visa is approved.

Whether you’re sponsoring a worker you’ve already identified or need help with recruitment through an approved agency, the visa and compliance steps are the same.

  • Sponsor eligibility check
  • Tadbeer contract registration
  • Mandatory insurance arrangement
  • Entry permit or status change application
  • Medical fitness test and Emirates ID biometrics
