Legal Responsibilities When You Sponsor a Maid

When you sponsor a maid in the UAE, the responsibility goes far beyond applying for a visa. Sponsorship comes with legal, financial, and administrative obligations that must be followed carefully. At Mountain Gate Tadbeer, we work closely with families and individuals who have already found a maid and need professional support to handle visa and sponsorship legally and correctly.

Our role is to make sure every step of the process complies with UAE laws and MOHRE regulations, helping our clients avoid unnecessary risks, delays, or penalties.


What Sponsorship Means Under UAE Law

When we sponsor a maid on behalf of our clients, sponsorship means taking legal responsibility for the maid’s residency and employment status in the UAE. This responsibility begins once the visa is issued and continues until the visa is renewed, cancelled, or transferred.

Because sponsorship is governed by strict government regulations, any mistakes — whether intentional or unintentional — can lead to fines or legal complications. That is why we ensure the process is handled correctly from the start.


Our Legal Responsibilities as a Sponsor

MOHRE-Compliant Employment Contract

We ensure that a legally approved employment contract is issued, clearly defining salary, duties, working hours, weekly rest days, and leave entitlements. This protects both the employer and the maid and ensures full compliance with MOHRE requirements.


Timely and Proper Salary Payments

As part of sponsorship, salary payments must be made on time and through approved systems. We assist our clients with WPS-compliant salary setup to avoid disputes, complaints, or penalties related to delayed payments.


Medical Fitness and Health Insurance

We arrange the mandatory medical fitness test required for visa issuance and guide our clients on providing valid health insurance. These steps are essential to ensure the visa remains valid and legally compliant.


Emirates ID and Residency Visa Compliance

We manage Emirates ID registration and residency visa stamping within the required timelines. Missing deadlines can result in overstay fines, which is why we closely monitor and follow up on every stage of the process.


Ensuring Lawful Working Conditions

We ensure that employment terms follow UAE domestic worker laws, including humane working conditions, rest periods, and agreed responsibilities. Sponsorship requires respecting these legal standards at all times.


Visa Renewal, Cancellation, and Transfers

We support our clients with visa renewals, cancellations, and transfers when required. Proper handling of these procedures is critical to avoid fines, travel restrictions, or future sponsorship issues.


Common Sponsorship Mistakes We Help Avoid

Many families face legal issues simply due to lack of awareness. We help prevent common mistakes such as:

  • Sponsoring a maid under the wrong visa category

  • Delaying salary payments

  • Missing renewal deadlines

  • Issuing non-compliant contracts

  • Skipping required medical or insurance steps

By managing the process professionally, we reduce legal risks and protect our clients.
