Consulate for the maid's entry

do's and don'ts in their preferred choice of language. In the entry
interview, it is also explained to the sponsor and the maid that a
mobile with a SIM card and a minimum refill of Dh20 has to be
provided by the sponsor to the maid.
In case of absconding maids, the sponsor has to file a

the consulate. If the maid approaches the consulate, then the sponsor
is called to resolve the issue. As per local laws, once an absconding
report is filed, they will be deported with a life ban.

Dos and don’ts to avoid trouble with maids
+ Give the maid a true picture of what to
expect before she comes to work for you. Make her understand she is
not coming for a holiday abroad
+ Choose a maid who does not have an
ailing husband or small kids back home. They may have genuine concerns
and can easily become homesick
+ Wait for a month before you stamp the
visa on the passport. That gives you enough time to study her
behaviour and commitment to work.
+ Don’t let your housemaid go out
unaccompanied for a long period of time. You are inviting trouble.
+ Always keep monthly salary slips and
make your maid signs on them on their pay day. You may need to show
proof at the embassy (GN).
