A detailed cost comparison of visa options in U.A.E and relevant costs to hire a maid

It is possible to obtain a maid visa through authorized Tadbeer centers or Tas-heel. The visa is available in two options, Tadbeer visa or direct family visa. The table below provides an explanation of the difference in cost. While Tadbeer visa is much cheaper than direct family visa, some families prefer to opt for direct visa as it gives full control. Note that each Tadbeer center has a slightly different Visa package, google tadbeer visa then contact Tadbeer centers, ask for the cost of visa.

If you have a Tadbeer visa, you must transfer the maids’ monthly wages to Tadbeer, who will deposit the wages using its WPS system. The family needs a letter from Tadbeer stating that he has no objections if, for any reason, they choose to travel with the maid. 

Maidfinder had partnered with one Tadbeer center for an easy installment Tadbeer visa, cost explained blow.
