Hi again, not sure what they mean about that but most of us don´t belong to those categories and have had no issue - could happen it would be an issue if you sponsored someone new that you were bringing in from the Phlippines as rules have tightened lately and that is why most people now have to go through an agency to bring new maids from Philippines. It's not applicable for maids that are already working here.

Just got that off their website, even more confused now it says if i am not one of the above i cant direct hire a maid, which i have done????
1) No need for the ID card to travel and come back.
2) Go to Polo office - yes. She will register that she´s an overseas worker and you have to supply some documents to prove it and and sign a paper that you authorise her holiday and that she will return for work at the end of her leave. Very importantly she will be given an exit pass which she needs to show in Manila to be able to fly back to the UAE.

1) Get her an Emirates ID card?
2) Go to Polo office? But will they let her do whatever she needs to do there or is it only for agency maids?
