Procedures for bringing maid from UAE

RikiTiki
By RikiTiki

Hi there
We are moving from Abu Dhabi to Doha and we are bringing our maid with us. Does she have to go back to phillipines or can she come with us when we arrive. My husband will get the Qatari visa in November after Eid and then we will immediately apply for the rest of the family. Can we apply for her at the same time and can she come with us when we leave here? Any advice would be appreciated.

Wow, thanks to those that offered advice. it was helpful. So we need to have visas first and then she can get hers. My husband is coming to Doha for two weeks after Eid to sort out his visa. How long will it take for ours and then hers or can we all apply together.

I shall ignore the other comments as they are not worth responding to.

You can only apply for a license to sponsor a maid once the family visas are processed and issued. That is the rule in Qatar. And thr whole process takes time.

yes you can bring her direct. no need to send her back to Philippines. After your husband acquire his qatari visa, apply the visa of the maid together with the rest of the family.

Marhaba..If you have some free time could you please come and babysit my sick daughter everyday? Because my body is full of aches and I myself have some serious medical issues. And I do not like or have the right to ENSLAVE anyone.What if some poor slave got some money to feed her family by doing the only work she knows and is capable and confident of doing...

Please respond...

How about doing what most women do - clean the house and look after your children yourself! Call me old fashioned but thats what people used to do or has God given you the right to enslave someone? Why do u want a maid - so that you can do coffee with the girls? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
