Question

What are the right way if someone wants to get me here in philippines to work in dubai being a family driver.?

Answer 1

Being a family driver you are considered being a domestic helper and the following rules apply:

An expatriate resident can file an application for a domestic helper's visa at the visa section of the Residency and Naturalisation Department of the Emirate which issued his residence visa.

The head of the family (couple with or without children) or a working widow or divorced mother with children, or a widower or divorced father with children can apply for a domestic helper's visa.

The sponsor should earn a salary of not less than Dh5,000 with accommodation or Dh6,000.

When applying for the domestic helper's visa an expatriate must pay a Dh5,000 refundable deposit which will be returned when the residence visa is stamped on the domestic helper's passport.

The sponsor must retain the deposit receipt to obtain a refund.

Fees to be paid:

When the residence visa is stamped on the domestic helper's passport Dh4,800 must be paid in Interior Ministry fees.

Apart from the fee another Dh100 must be paid for the residence visa.

- Dh100 for the sponsorship and

- Dh100 for a domestic helper's card.

When the domestic helper enters the country, you must undergo a health check-up at a government hospital in the emirate where the visa was issued. The cost of the medical check-up is Dh1,200.

This should be done before applying for the residence visa. The domestic helper will then be given a health card.

You will also be taken for an iris scan and fingerprinting at the police headquarters of the Emirate. The residence visa must be stamped on the domestic helper's passport within 60 days from the date of the person's entry into the country.

No one is allowed to employ a domestic helper who is not under his sponsorship.

A resident can employ a domestic helper on his own by following the set rules or use the services of a labour recruitment agency which will charge Dh3,500.

The annual ministry fees of Dh4,800 and the deposit amount of Dh5,000 is under review and is expected to be reduced.

Emiratis who apply for a domestic helper's visa have to pay a Dh1,200 refundable deposit. They do not have to pay the annual Dh4,800 ministry fee.

The sponsor needs:

An e-form application filled and signed by the sponsor. This will cost Dh100.

A copy of the sponsor's passport.

copy of the domestic helper's passport.

Three passport photos of the helper

.

An official labour contract (approved and signed by the embassy of the domestic helper) signed by the helper and by the sponsor.

Copy of the work contract of the sponsor, with salary certificate.

The sponsor can bring a domestic helper from his or her own country, but you need a letter from the embassy or consulate to prove that they are not relatives.

Hope, that this answers your question.
