You move to Dubai. Kids need care. A trusted nanny helps. But visa rules confuse many. In 2025, new online systems make it faster. Still, one wrong form delays everything. This simple guide shows how. For expat families. For domestic helpers from India, Philippines, Sri Lanka, or elsewhere. We explain steps. Costs. And how Al Ameer makes it smooth. Mr. Waseem leads our team. Let’s start.
Why Dubai Families Need Nanny Visas
Dubai has over 200,000 expat kids under 10. Parents work long hours. A live-in nanny is common. UAE law says: every helper needs a sponsor. That’s you—the employer. No sponsor? No legal stay. Fines start at AED 50,000. But good news: 2025 rules allow 2-year nanny visas. Plus, online medical booking cuts wait time by 70%.
Who Can Apply?
- Sponsor: UAE resident with valid visa. Salary proof: AED 15,000+ per month.
- Nanny: Female, age 25–55. From approved countries (India, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, etc.).
- New in 2025: No typing center needed. Full process via ICP app.
