❓ How much does a Tadbeer visa cost in 2026?
A 2-year domestic worker visa through Tadbeer costs AED 7,850–10,900 for standalone visa processing. Monthly live-in packages start from AED 2,500/month and include the visa, medical, insurance, and worker salary.
❓ Can expatriates use Tadbeer centers?
Yes. Tadbeer centers serve both UAE nationals and expatriate residents. Some centers offer special expat sponsorship packages where the center sponsors the worker on your behalf.
❓ How long does Tadbeer visa processing take?
Typically 7–14 working days for a new 2-year visa, including Emirates ID, medical exam, and health insurance. Express services at some centers can complete this in 3–5 business days.
