Expatriate sponsors of maids and domestic helps will lose the Dh5,000 guarantee fee if the maids abscond, an informed source at the Abu Dhabi Naturalisation and Residency Department (ADNRD) said.
The source, who declined to be named, told Khaleej Times that if the residency card of the maid is printed on the expatriate sponsor’s passport, they cannot get refund of the guarantee fee they (sponsors) pay in case of their maids running away from them, and even if the sponsors file absconding reports.
“However, a sponsor can change the maid within the first two months of the latter’s entry to the country, that is before the maid’s residency is stamped on the sponsor’s passport,” the source added.
“But if the maid wants to leave, the sponsor is not required to pay another guarantee fees, and he\she can bring another maid at the same fee,” the sources said.
The Dh5,000 guarantee is to be paid to bring a maid for one year on a renewable contract basis. The maid has the right to refuse the renewal of the contract.
However, the Naturalisation and Residency laws allow the national sponsors to bring maids and domestic helps without paying any guarantee. Source
