Hi Im moving from Kuwait to Abu Dhabi and I wondered if anyone knows if I should go through an office to bring our house helper with us to Abu Dhabi or if I can simply do the visa requirements myself, any ideas for this precess, please help anyone?
Does she have to go home first to her country or can she be with us and make a vissa tranfer sort of thing?thanx

hello,

if you have a company registered here in UAE then u can apply on your own for their visas and if you dont have sponsor's status here (kafeel muqeem) then who has sponsored you your visa here? if you are on visit visa then u have to apply their visit visa for maids as well. and if you wanna stay for more long then u have to get your visa 1st then the person who sponsors u can give sponsorship to ur helpers as well. i wish i could help u more but m leaving for Malaysia 2nd week of june. anyways if you need any further help write me i will give u some gd contacts.

Regards.

thanx kingali,
Im on employment visa ,our company is new and a few people so we are not registered and they will not sponsor my helper , they will sponsor family only....so do u think i can simply bring her on visit visa and then transfer her to employment and i will be her kafeel or it does not work like that.

sorry to give you bad news girlie, but you can't transfer a visit visa to a residence visa. Same goes for anywhere.
