FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Top questions from families in United Arab Emirates
How much does it cost to hire a maid in the UAE?
Typical all-in cost is AED 2,500 to 5,000 per month, plus a one-time visa, medical, and Emirates ID fee of AED 4,000 to 6,000. Tadbeer centres provide a clear breakdown — no hidden fees.
What is a Tadbeer centre?
Tadbeer is the UAE government's official network of MOHRE-licensed domestic worker service centres. They handle recruitment, contracts, medicals, and the legal employment of domestic workers under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 9 of 2022.
How long does it take to hire a domestic worker?
Most placements take 5 to 7 days once your documents are submitted. Workers already inside the UAE can start in 24 to 48 hours.
Do I need a sponsor to hire a domestic worker?
If you hire through a Tadbeer centre, the centre acts as the legal sponsor for the worker, not you. This is the legal standard in the UAE since 2018.
What if the worker doesn't work out?
Tadbeer centres offer a 30-day trial replacement guarantee under UAE law. If the worker doesn't suit your family in the first 30 days, you can get a replacement at no extra cost.
Which nationalities can I hire?
Common nationalities available in UAE Tadbeer centres include Filipino, Ethiopian, Indian, Sri Lankan, Indonesian, Nepali, Kenyan, and Ugandan. Availability varies by agency and changes month to month.
What documents do I need?
Emirates ID (employer), salary certificate or trade licence, tenancy contract (Ejari), and recent utility bill. The Tadbeer centre takes care of the worker's documents.
Is part-time / hourly maid service legal?
Yes — but only through a MOHRE-licensed Tadbeer centre. Hiring an undocumented hourly maid is illegal and exposes families to AED 50,000+ fines under UAE labour law.
