In the UAE, a golden residency visa holder may sponsor domestic workers. However, Cabinet Resolution No. 65 of 2022 is silent on the number of domestic workers a UAE residency visa holder may sponsor. Article 3 (2) of the annexure to Cabinet Resolution No. 65 of 2022 mentions that a UAE golden visa residency holder may sponsor domestic workers based on his or her financial solvency, which may imply that there is no specific limit on a number of domestic workers you may employ.
Further, an individual holdings UAE golden residency visa may only recruit any domestic workers in the UAE per the provisions and guidelines laid down in UAE Domestic Workers Law.
