Hiring household staff in United Arab Emirates
In the United Arab Emirates, recruiting or placing domestic workers requires a licence from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE); unlicensed mediation is an offence. MoHRE publishes the list of licensed recruitment offices and runs a hotline (600590000). A free-zone company registration is not a MoHRE licence.
