Tadbeer centers offer visa services for domestic workers classified in the above-mentioned categories. The center facilitates all the processes of government typing, issuance and renewal of visas as well as new entry permits.
The Emiratis, GCC nationals and Expats sponsoring domestic worker visa has to follow the given steps at the Tadbeer service centers:
- Collect a Qmatic token from the reception for the service you need.
- You will be called by the typist at a counter to process the documents.
- Each typing process involves a step-wise approach, which relies on the MoHRE and General Directory of Residency and Foreign Affairs (GDRFA) approval to start with the next step.
- Open a sponsor file if you have not sponsored any domestic worker previously. This step takes about 24 hours for approval, and a notification is sent via SMS.
- Upon approval, you can apply for the domestic worker’s entry permit if they are not in the UAE and you want the worker to enter the country on an employment visa (entry visa). Once the typing process is approved for the entry permit, an SMS will be sent.
- You can also apply for the worker’s employment visa/entry permit if the candidate is in the UAE with a cancelled visa status or on a visit visa.
- Once approval is granted for an entry permit inside the UAE, you can apply for a change of status. The validity of this application is 60 days, during which the residence visa application is to be completed. The notification of approval or rejection of change of status will be sent via Email.
- The next step is to get a worker’s medical fitness test done via approved Government Health Centres only. This should be done before the issuance of residence visa. The medical fitness certificate is valid for 90 days only.
- Apply for Emirates ID as it is mandatory to get approval for residence visa. If the domestic worker is entering UAE for the first time, then complete the bio-metric process. For Emirate and GCC nationals, the Emirates ID is valid for two years, whereas for expat, the Emirates ID remains valid for a year.
- Apply for medical insurance once a labour contract is signed, a medical certificate is issued, and an application for Emirates ID is submitted.
- Get the MoHRE employment contract printed in case of a new visa application or if you hold an old contract.
- Once the worker receives a residence visa and their application is processed, make sure it is stamped on their passport.
In case of expats sponsoring household worker visa, they get a 2-year domestic worker visa, MoHRE contract, access to a WPS account and salary (protected), including managed HR and PRO services throughout.
Besides, on sponsoring a worker visa through Tadbeer, you get a 2-year visa at a cost starting from AED 10,000 that includes free pediatric first aid training and 30 days settling in training. And there is no visa renewal fees.
