Hi I would like a few details regarding a house help (maid)
1. My husband is going to living alone initially, till we join him later in the year, in this case can we hire a live-in maid?
2. And if No, is a Top Maid Allowed, who comes once a day, does her work and leave?
3. What is the pay scale like?
4. Any other things to keep in mind, like do they have to take weekly offs, ? any permits etc.
5. If any one knows of a "top maid" or live out maid at Al hill Area, would appreciate details.

Thank You

I would avoid a good looking maid with two big personalties, especially with Indian men......

You cannot sponsor a maid unless your family is here as well, so no single male sponsorship.

You can get a part time maid from one of the agencies here but it will be expensive.

Technically part time work is not allowed other than her sponsor, if caught by the authority it will fine for both with the same amount, unless the maid got "no objection letter from sponsor" & should registered to Immigration for approval.
