HELP: Maid Visa Query - Exit and Entry for a New Visa
Hello Everyone!
My DH and I just closed on a very nice maid who was working in Dubai, but who lost her job (Sponsor left the country). She reentered Dubai on a tourist visa, where we actually tried her and decided that shes was the one.
Next I had to process a very expensive Entry Permit for the maid (In total About AED 1000, with the typing, processing of Entry Permit within the country, urgent and other service fees).
Now that I have the Entry Permit, I am told she has to exit and reenter the country before I can process her visa for stamping.
I just wanted to get a few tips or suggestions for people who may have done this.
1. Can she leave and reenter on the same day?
2. I was told if we do a visa drive to Oman - I as the sponsor will have to accompany her for the exit and reentry. Is this true? Does anyone know the associated costs?
3. Tickets to Bahrain or Muscat are about AED 600 for a round-trip from Dubai. Can she exit and reenter on these tickets, without a transit visa (Essentially exiting and entering the country for a VISA RUN!)?
Please do get back to me with your responses as soon as possible. I need to action this by tomorrow as her Tourist visa expires tomorrow - and she falls into a AED 100 per day fine category.
Thanks in advance! :)
