I guess this is the reason for the move. http://www.thenational.ae/news/uae-news/move-to-abu-dhabi-or-risk-your-housing-allowance There are some nice places in AD - not quite the same as Dubai, but you just have to put a little effort into finding somewhere. there is differently two choices - off island which is always cheaper, (al reef, Khalifa city, MBZ) and on island (Al Reem being the newest) The decision you need to make first is the school you want your children to attend as school places are always a challenge and with this change in law will become more so..... So look at the schools then where you want to live. If your DH already works here he may know some of the places to look out for. Good luck <em>edited by Tricia68 on 07/10/2012</em>

So if you use a maid from MAIDS.AE for example - do you have to sponsor them ?- are they not classed as live out maids ??

We are thinking of dismissing our live in maid as she has become quite lazy recently - and before your all go up in arms over that comment !!! I am being fair..I have pointed out all the things she is not doing and she still has not improved - I wont list all the issues as thats not the point of this post..she is up at 7am ish cleans for a few hours - does some laudry and ironing for a couple of hours in the afternoon - the rest of the day she is in her room outside not doing anything - we are both home at 5.30ish and we dont see her again for the rest of the night (she doesnt cook for us or the children)- our children are older now so we dont neet a nanny as such just a housekeeper/maid as we both work full time...now we are thinking of moving to a small villa with maid room inside the villa we are considering a agency maid to come in a few hours a day rather than a full time live in....does anyone else use a live out maid, if so did you get through an agency if so which one..??? also is having a live out maid actually legal. are you still required to sponsor etc?? any advice would be welcome
