Maid visa cost in the UAE (2026)
One of the first questions every family asks is: how much does a maid visa actually cost? Here's a clear breakdown of Maid Link's 2-year maid visa packages and exactly what they include.
The two ways to pay
Maid Link offers a 2-year maid visa in two formats. The first is AED 8,500 upfront plus AED 160 per month over the two years. The second is a single one-off payment of AED 10,960 with nothing monthly — which works out cheaper overall.
Both options cover the same thing; the only difference is how you spread the payment. All prices are exclusive of 5% VAT.
What's included
The package covers the full 2-year residency visa, the Emirates ID, the medical fitness test, health insurance, WPS payroll setup, and all government fees. End-of-service dues and visa renewals are handled too.
Because everything is bundled, there are no surprise agency or setup charges on top — you pay for the package you choose and nothing else.
