House maid rules

Thanks for the responses; however is not clear if we can hire directly or after 6 months completion?

I think primarily approval/rejection is based upon your salary bracket.

Without any wasta, alot of my friends have housemaids and their wives are homemakers.

I'm a housewife- currently...and I got some friends same as my nationality...also housewives...and having housemaid that living with them.

Can you explain it?

I know lots of people who are empty nesters with no children at home and the wife doesn't work and they all have housemaids. Again, its all about the wasta

I have many colleagues who are engineers and their wives housewives with just one or two children and they all got maid visa.. But then they work in QP and a letter from QP is more than enough to get a maids visa whether your wife is working or a houewife.. I guess at the end, what really matters is a strong and powerful employer..

Thanks for the information; in regards to that must "hire" a housewife after 6 months in country with valid residence visa is that applicable or can proceed upon receiving the visa?

Yes. They wont approve it if she is not working.

There are cases where they approve, if we substantiate to them that our wife cannot handle as there are many children or she has some medical problem.

If she is a housewife means that cannot hire a housemaid?!

Your wife should be here and she should be employed to get a maid visa.
