Can I get a maid from Philippines without involving an agency?

Apparently if you are a maid from Philippines they ask you to provide some kind of document from Philippines embassy/consulate in UAE, with a bunch of demands, before they let you get on a plane heading here. This document is neither legal or recognized by UAE immigration here, and they themselves told us not to sign any such documents. To make a long story short just refuse to sign it and all will be fine.

No. it could in basic terms be executed by authorized businesses right here in the Philippines. As you in all threat already understand there are a team of recent standards in place for the risk-free practices of the OFW's. Frankly The UAE has an exceptionally undesirable checklist of treating OFS's wisely and IAW their settlement. Dubai and KSA in paticular are the two worst offenders.

u can source them locally thru adds or word of mouth .

there are plenty available locally on visit visa to be tried and tested before making them permament legally .
