As per a recent announcement from the UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE), all domestic helper visa applications will be subject to MoHRE approval. Accordingly, please anticipate an adjustment to the processing time for domestic helper visa applications by the DIFC GSO.

Below are the additional requirements for domestic helper visa applications:

1. Sponsor’s attested Marriage Certificate
