Questions

Can Golden Visa holders sponsor domestic workers?

Yes. Sponsoring domestic workers is one of the Golden Visa benefits, subject to the current rules.

Is there a minimum salary for the sponsor?

The authorities set income and accommodation conditions, and they change from time to time. We check your case before you pay any fees.

Check these three conditions first

01Income of around AED 25,000 a month (AED 22,000 is generally accepted with employer housing)
02Your family lives with you in the UAE: single residents living alone cannot sponsor
03A home with at least two bedrooms on a registered tenancy contract
