Frequently asked questions

What documents do I need to sponsor a maid or driver?

Typical documents include your passport and residency visa copy, Emirates ID copy, tenancy contract (Ejari) or proof of accommodation, employment contract or salary proof, passport copy of the worker, and passport-size photos. Requirements can vary by emirate and sponsor type (individual vs company).

How long does visa processing take?

Processing times vary by emirate and case complexity (medical clearance, backlog at authorities). Entry permits often issue within days; final stamping may take from a few days to a few weeks. AL SAHRAA tracks each step and provides estimated timelines for your specific case.

Is a medical test required?

Yes. A medical fitness test is required for most domestic worker visas. AL SAHRAA arranges appointments at approved medical centers and follows up on results.

What about Emirates ID and biometrics?

Biometrics and Emirates ID issuance are mandatory. We coordinate appointment bookings and follow the application until the ID is produced and delivered.

Can I transfer sponsorship of a domestic worker?

Yes, sponsorship transfer is possible subject to MOHRE/GDRFA rules and the worker’s contract status. We handle the paperwork, approvals and notifications required for a lawful transfer.

How do renewals and cancellations work?

We prepare the renewal documents before expiry to avoid fines and follow the correct cancellation steps when a worker leaves. Each action is completed according to current UAE regulations.

Do you provide legal or employment advice?

We provide administrative PRO services and guidance on required government procedures. For complex employment disputes or legal advice, we can refer you to qualified legal professionals.
