The official Tadbeer Visa route — built around UAE labour law.
When you hire through Baythelp and sponsor through a MOHRE-licensed Tadbeer Dubai center, you're following the framework introduced by Federal Decree-Law No. 9 of 2022. No grey areas, no improvised arrangements — just the recognised path for UAE families.
What Tadbeer Includes
Find the worker who fits, before you talk to a center.
Baythelp lists 4,200+ verified domestic workers — nannies, maids, drivers, cooks, caregivers. Filter by nationality, skills, and live-in or live-out. The Tadbeer center comes after you've decided who you actually want.

Tadbeer isn't just a visa — it's a transfer of responsibility. Under the Tadbeer Visa, the licensed center carries the formal employer relationship while the worker lives or works with your family.
Legal Sponsorship
The work permit is filed under the Tadbeer center's MOHRE licence number — not yours. Your name does not appear on the visa file as sponsor.
WPS Wage Processing
You transfer the salary to the center monthly; the center disburses it through the Wages Protection System and keeps the audit trail.
Contract Custody
The MOHRE-registered employment contract is held, renewed, amended, and eventually terminated by the center as legal employer.
End-of-Service
Gratuity calculation, accrued leave, exit visa, and final settlement are processed by the center under UAE labour law standards.
Four stages, one clear pathway.
From identifying the right candidate on Baythelp to having them legally working with you under the Tadbeer Visa — here's the sequence in order.

Tadbeer in plain language: a practical guide for UAE families.
The word "Tadbeer" (تدبير) means "arrangement" in Arabic — and that's exactly what the UAE government built it to be. A clean, legal arrangement between three parties: the family who needs help at home, the worker providing that help, and the licensed center that takes responsibility for the visa, the contract, and the payroll. Before Tadbeer, the system around domestic hiring was fragmented. Now it isn't.
Every Tadbeer center operates under licence from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE), governed by Federal Decree-Law No. 9 of 2022. Cabinet Decision No. 106 of 2022 sets the operational standards, and Ministerial Decision No. 702 of 2025 covers the most recent compliance updates. None of that needs to be on your reading list — but it's the legal weight behind every Tadbeer Visa issued in the country.
How Tadbeer Dubai differs from older agency models
If you've hired domestic help in the UAE before 2022, you'll remember the old maid-agency model: a phone number, a fee, sometimes a quick interview, and the rest left vague. Tadbeer formalised what was loose. A MOHRE Tadbeer center must publish transparent pricing, register the worker on government systems, run medical fitness and orientation, and pay through the Wages Protection System. Fees that workers used to pay informally are now strictly the employer's responsibility, by law.
Where to find Tadbeer centers near you
The UAE has more than 134 MOHRE-licensed Tadbeer centers spread across all seven emirates. Dubai holds the largest concentration, with clusters in Al Nahda, Bur Dubai, Deira, Al Quoz, and Business Bay. Abu Dhabi follows closely, with centers in Mussafah, Khalifa City, and Al Reem. Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Al Ain, and Umm Al Quwain each have dedicated Tadbeer centers serving local families.
That said, geography matters less than you'd think. Most Tadbeer centers process visa applications digitally through MOHRE and ICP portals, so the physical location of the center doesn't restrict where the worker eventually lives. A Tadbeer center based in Bur Dubai can sponsor a worker who joins a family in Jumeirah Village Circle without anyone needing to drive across town.
What to expect on cost and timeline
Most Tadbeer Dubai centers price the two-year sponsorship package between AED 7,500 and AED 9,000. That covers the visa, Emirates ID, medical fitness clearance, health insurance, and the MOHRE-registered contract. The worker's monthly salary is separate and is processed through WPS. Timeline-wise, most placements take two to four weeks from selection to arrival or transfer — visa stamping takes about a week, medical clearance a couple of days, Emirates ID a few days after.
Why Baythelp is the right starting point
Baythelp isn't a Tadbeer center, and we don't pretend to be one. We're the marketplace where you find the actual person you want to hire. Once you've shortlisted a candidate from our 4,200+ verified worker profiles, you bring them to a MOHRE Tadbeer Dubai partner — Ritaj, ViceKeeper, M A F, or another from the wider network — and they handle the legal employer side. Two layers, working together, end to end.
