Indian Maid- Info needed- urgently

I am in the process of bringing an Indian maid to Dubai. I have been advised to bring her on a visit visa first. She has an ECR on her passport and to bring her in on an employment visa I would need to go through a very tedious procedure at the Indian Consulate.

The plan is to bring her here on a visit and then transfer to an employment visa paying the additional amount to the UAE immigration.

Is there anyone who has done this? Could you please shed some light?

What happens when she goes back on vacation with the ECR still showing but having a dubai residence visa? Will she have any problem at the immigration in India.

Your help/ feedback would be very much appreciated. Have had so much bad luck with maids its unbelievable.

Thanks!

Sorry to revive this very old post, but we're in exactly the same position! Got our maid here on visit visa, converted to Resident visa bypassing the Indian Embassy. Its been almost a year now, so need to start thinking about taking her with us on our next vacation.....but with the damn ECR stamp in her passport just cant afford to risk having her stopped at Indian immigration not allowed to leave! She's not eligible for ECNR under any other criteria. Tearing our hair out trying to find answers.....Did you get any??
