Now Hiring: Hotel Housekeepers in Dubai – Visa Sponsorship & Free Accommodation
Dubai’s hotel pipeline is still exploding with over 30,000 new keys coming online before Expo City 2026 which means operators are scrambling for reliable room attendants. To fill the gap they’re offering company-paid work visas, free shared accommodation, daily staff meals, and monthly pay that averages AED 2,000 – 3,500 (roughly €500-€900 / $550-$950) plus service tips
Dubai’s hospitality boom won’t slow down soon, but the prime, visa-sponsored housekeeping slots fill in weeks, not months. If you’ve got a keen eye for detail, stamina, and the desire to live tax-free in one of the world’s safest, most cosmopolitan cities, apply today and turn everyday cleaning skills into an international career with free accommodation, full health coverage and other amazing benefits
Benefits of Working as a Hotel Housekeeper in Dubai
- No recruitment fees – under UAE labour rules the hotel (not you) must pay all hiring, medical-test and visa costs
- Tax-free income – you keep every dirham you earn and tip out in cash weekly.
- Free housing & transport – most chains provide air-conditioned staff housing and a bus to and from the hotel
- Fast processing – hospitality visas are typically issued in 10-21 days once your medical is cleared
- Career growth – complete six months in housekeeping and you can bid internally for front-office or guest-relations roles that pay more
What hotels look for
- At least six months’ recent hotel or holiday-let cleaning experience (hostel, Airbnb or cruise-ship counts).

- A clean police certificate and willingness to pass the UAE medical (blood test + chest X-ray).

- Capable of thriving under intense pressure
What you’ll do each shift

- Deep-clean corridors, service pantries and staff areas on rotation.

How the visa & relocation process works
- Interview & offer: a 15-minute WhatsApp video call followed by an e-offer letter detailing salary, housing and shift patterns.
- Work-permit application: hotel PRO submits your documents to Dubai’s Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation.
- Entry permit issued: you print the e-visa, fly to Dubai, and the hotel meets you at arrivals.

- Residence visa stamped: usually within two weeks; your passport is returned and you receive your Emirates ID card.
