This is a very old thread but I just wanted to let you all know you can sponsor a south african maid.
I have had 2 already. If you are south african as well you and your husband just need to sign an affidavit stating that you not related to your housemaid and you need one extra letter from the courts stating that you would be taking care of the maid. I'm not sure what the letter is called though..I usually just take a copy of the first letter and tell them I need one of these...The courts in sheikh zayed road types out the letter and you get the affidavit signed by the sa consulate in dubai.
Easy.
Hi Donnadxb - I know your response is old, but I just wanted to find out if you still have a South African maid in Dubai? We are moving up in Jan and would love to take our maid with us, just not 100% sure where to start - is the process you described still the same? Also quite curious to know how your SA ladies adjusted in Dubai - did they interact with other maids in your area?
