We haven't had it done yet but as it will apparently become a part of the visa residence renewal process, as far as I've understood, no doubt we will pay for it. Don't think the maid will have much use for the ID except for having the residence visa done. My miad syas the police stop the buses and ask people for their ids. I guess they are asking for passport or labour card. Deadline for ID card has been extended to 2013 for expats and will be linked to the visa renewal process so it is perfectly legal not to be in possession of the Emirates ID as of yet but by 2013 all should have it. I thought it has only been extended till June this year, can I ask you where does it say expiry 2013!!! thanks

I would. Our IDs where paid by DH company he works for. So you are your maids employer, so I personally would pay for her visa then.

We paid for her ID card and my husband took her there to handle the entire process. We see all these documentation costs as our responsibility.

I don't have a maid but think it should be your responsibility as her employer. This subject came up previously and from what I recall got quite heated.

We paid and paid for the taxi fare for her to get there to do it. Although it states, on the website I think, that it is not the responsiblity of the employer I didn't feel right just leaving it all up to her to do.
