UAE Maid & Nanny Visa Cost Calculator

Plan an itemised estimate for a maid, nanny or other domestic worker. Enter prices from your written quote and compare up to two options. No registration or personal documents needed.

Fees vary by authority, route and case. Unknown prices remain “Quote required”; an incomplete estimate is never presented as a final total.

1. Describe your plans

2. Enter your quote

Enter AED amounts for the applicable period. Leave unknown amounts blank. Enter 0 only when a charge is confirmed as included or not applicable. Do not repeat charges already included in a package.

Option A

A refundable security deposit, if applicable, is not included above unless entered under other fees. Ask the authority whether it is refundable and avoid counting it as a fee.

Option A estimate

These figures are planning estimates based on the amounts you enter, not an official or provider quotation. Eligibility, visa term, applicable fees and insurance must be confirmed for your case. Monthly wages, if applicable, are a separate employment cost; avoid counting them twice if included in a package.

3. Check official fee references

Maid visa costs in Dubai and the UAE

A quote may include work permits, residence processing, identity documents, medical fitness, insurance and service-centre fees. The actual process differs by emirate and whether the worker is already in the UAE. A licensed provider should explain its package and which items are separate.

New application or renewal?

Renewal and new applications can have different requirements and fees. Select the scenario above for your notes and ask the relevant authority or licensed centre for a quote for that scenario; the selection does not imply an unverified fee.

Direct sponsorship or a service-centre package?

Compare equivalent written quotes. Confirm the legal employer, contract period, salary, insurance, replacement terms, refunds and whether each government charge is included. A package price and a direct-sponsorship quote may cover different services.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the calculator without a quote?

Yes. Leave unknown fields blank and use the official references to prepare questions. The result will show a partial amount rather than a final price.

Does a visa package include the worker’s salary?

Packages vary. Check the contract and enter a monthly wage or package charge only where it is not already counted elsewhere.

Are the visa period and comparison period the same?

Not necessarily. Your comparison period is a planning choice. Confirm actual visa and employment terms with the relevant authority.

Are providers or prices endorsed?

Published package information is provided for comparison only; it is not an endorsement or paid placement. You can also enter your own quote labels and amounts.
