Why House maid Visa Costs in Dubai Can Vary

Although base fees are standardized, the final housemaid visa cost in Dubai can vary due to:

  • Updates to government and MOHRE charges

  • Changes in medical insurance requirements

  • Visa duration (1-year vs 2-year options)

  • Sponsorship type (Tadbeer vs direct vs Golden Visa)

  • Additional services selected

For this reason, always confirm the final amount with a licensed Tadbeer center (like Excellence center).

 

Here are other reasons that affect the cost difference between Tadbeer centers:

Maid visa prices in Dubai can vary, but the lowest cost does not always reflect what is included or the level of support provided during the 2-year visa validity.

  • What the Cost Usually Covers: Maid visa fees generally include government charges, entry permit, medical processing, Emirates ID, and visa stamping. Differences in price often come from service quality, insurance level, and post-issuance assistance.
  • Medical Insurance Is Not the Same Everywhere: Some lower-priced visas include only basic coverage. At Excellence Center, the cost structure accounts for proper arrangements including medical insurance for 1 year, aligned with UAE compliance requirements.
  • Think Beyond the Initial Payment: A maid visa is valid for 2 years. Choosing a provider based only on price may result in additional expenses, delays, or difficulty obtaining support later during the visa period.
  • Transparent Pricing, Clear Inclusions: We explain what is included in the maid visa cost upfront, helping families make informed decisions without unexpected issues after the visa is issued
