  • Driver

    A vetted private driver for the school run, errands and daily travel across Dubai, placed on a two-year visa with the same online process as a maid.

How to Hire a Domestic Worker in Dubai

Yalla Maids helps Dubai families in two ways, both handled online without an office visit. Most families hire a fully sponsored maid and leave the paperwork behind. Families who already have a maid can instead have just her visa processed.

Hire a Fully Sponsored Maid

When a family hires a maid through Yalla Maids, the maid stays under the Yalla Maids sponsorship. The family does not deal with the visa, the insurance, the salary or the legal side, because all of it sits with the agency. Pre-vetted maids are ready for quick deployment, which lets a family hire a maid in Dubai without an office visit and leave the rest to the team.

  • Choose from pre-vetted maid profiles by experience and skills
  • The maid is sponsored by Yalla Maids, not by the family
  • Visa, health insurance and WPS payroll are all handled by the agency
  • Zero legal liability for the family, including insurance and runaway cases
  • No government visits, no Ejari and no paperwork for the family
  • Cancel anytime, with unlimited free replacements until the fit is right

Already Have a Maid? Yalla Maids Can Handle Her Visa

If a family already has a maid and only needs her on a legal visa, Yalla Maids processes the full two-year maid visa online. The medical, Emirates ID, insurance and payroll are all arranged, without a single office visit.

Do Domestic Workers in Dubai Need a Visa?

Yes. Every domestic worker in Dubai must be on a valid residency visa. Employing anyone without one is against the law. The visa keeps the family compliant, gives the worker health insurance and a proper contract, and puts the salary on an approved payroll channel.

With Yalla Maids the worker stays on the agency visa throughout the contract. The family sponsors the help without taking on the renewals or the legal liability that come with direct sponsorship.

Rights and Rules for Domestic Workers in the UAE

UAE law under the federal framework sets out clear protections for every domestic worker. Yalla Maids builds each one into a placement from day one.

  • A written employment contract that states the role and the salary
  • Daily rest hours and a weekly day off
  • Paid annual leave and end-of-service benefits
  • Health insurance for the length of the visa

Salary is paid on time through the WPS payroll system, which keeps every transfer on record and protects both the family and the worker.

Yalla Maids serves families in every part of Dubai, from the villas of Emirates Hills, Dubai Hills Estate and Mirdif to the apartment towers of Downtown, JLT and Deira. Wherever a family lives in Dubai, the application, medical booking, Emirates ID and stamping are handled remotely.

Domestic Help Across the Regions of Dubai

Dubai spreads from waterfront towers and gated villa communities to older trading districts. What a family needs from domestic help changes with each one. The support below is shaped for every kind of Dubai home.

Working Professionals in the Apartment Districts

Around Dubai Marina, JLT and Business Bay, many sponsors are dual-income professionals and new parents who need dependable daily help or infant care while both parents work. Yalla Maids places a vetted live-out maid or nanny and handles the full visa online, with the medical, insurance and payroll arranged in the background.

Growing Families in the Villa Communities

Across Emirates Hills, Arabian Ranches and Dubai Hills Estate, larger villas often need live-in help or a driver for school runs and after-school routines. Yalla Maids matches the right worker, then runs the whole two-year visa from documents to WPS payroll so the family stays covered from day one.

First-Time Sponsors in the Established Neighbourhoods

In Deira, Bur Dubai and Al Qusais, many families are hiring help for the first time or moving a worker onto the correct visa. A clear, affordable and fully online route matters most here, which is exactly how Yalla Maids keeps every placement, with transparent terms and no hidden charges.
