Hi,

We are an Indian family. I have two daughters below age 8 and we are expecting our third in March. We need a housemaid for 6 months full time. Can I find a housemaid locally and not have to sponsor her visa?

Soniya, I met Mahmoud at Batilco and he was very informative and they have a good list of CV's with Photographs of the maids for you to select. We finally selected our house help now just praying she arrives before the baby does. Hope you get your maid too soon.

Hi Soniya. I was about to delete this question because we finally got the visa approval approved. We applied on our own and it got rejected with no reason and then my husband approached his company PRO and he helped us get the approval. So if you are applying, go ahead and try on your own but if does not work out try seeking the help of a PRO and God willing it should work out. I will now approach Batelco agency and they will do all the necessary formalities to get me a house help hopefully by the end of next month. 4862826 is the number of Batelco Agency.

Other comments are right....you may find a part timer but not a full time maid. Check with the recruiting agency to sponsor one is the best option.

I'm afraid it is illegal to have a full-time housemaid living with you that you do not sponsor.
