ETA: when they come to your house to enter it, make your self you don't know her,like yes what they want? she will try to do the threat one more time, this time tell her you don't want her service coz you do not hire illegal maids, your friend need to be so careful not telling the neighbours about having this woman in your home and every this associate with this matter. and good luck.

the maid will always tell all sorts of accusations - unless she have no evidence on your friend - like photos, passport photo copy, or any thing like that... did your friend obtained any kind of documentations toward sponsoring this maid? this will be - your friend - evidence for the good well and will be against the maid. if not, your friend have to do a mass clean up - changing phone numbers, cutting access for the maid into the house/villa, not letting the children - if there are - with her at all costs. Tthen she can wait till the good moment the maid and the man with her - so called husband - are out, then she and her friends change the locks and through all the maids stuff out in the trash bin, this will be very good for her, as the maid diffidently will not report her self to police - she will be deported and will be in the black list. she can do this even before leaving the country, and definitely the maid will have nothing against your friend. just make sure she through the maids stuff in the bin - the big one which the trash truck collects - this way nothing could hurt your friend at all, and if the maid tried to pull her bluff to call the police then you tell her you will call the police for her coz she is a trasspasser(spl?), and wants to work illegally .

Grobattie would there be any implications for my friend if the maid said she was employed by her, even if she had left the country?

There are nothing to be done, all what I can advice, is your friend pack her own stuff and cool down the situation with the maid from h*ll, then she have to have more friends to be with her while packing her own stuff - to keep an eye on the maid and her husband- then leave the place... another thing: did your friend tried to call anonymously the immigration to check what really she can do in that situation? or the another thing: wait till the last moment before leaving here, wait till both are not in the MQ, change the locks and through all her stuff out in the rubbish bin. that will give her a very good lesson - and her so called husband.

I agree! Better for your friend to just pack and leave. The maid just not worth the trouble that she might get herself and her DH into if things go wrong.

She will get in trouble herself is she reports the maid. Your friend has acted illegally by hiring her under someone else's sponsorship.

Some advice needed please on the following story. A close friend of mine has for the last month employed a maid to help her out in the house with a view to sponsoring her. The maid moved herself and her DH into the MQ's and then refused to be sponsored saying she has a local sponsor and doesn't want to be under Friends sponsorship, which was just as well as the company announced they are relocating the family. Anyway it's turned out that this is the maid from the devil himself, completely psychotic and abusive to my friend (Iv'e seen it with my own eyes!). When my friend told her she had to leave the maid threatened her with all sorts, including a 50K fine. My friend told her that she would go to prison not her and the whole thing exploded into a major fight and the maid is just being horrible now using the threat that her local sponsor works for immigration so nothing will happen to her! Now my friend leaves the country in the next few weeks and wants revenge on this woman and wants to know how she can report her to immigration without getting into trouble. The maid is working at least three jobs! So how can she do it without being implicated and getting into trouble? She's trying to get the maid out this weekend, has a pp copy but no visa copy (maid would not let ehr have one).
