Overseas Domestic Worker Visa Assistance
The Overseas Domestic Worker visa may apply to a domestic worker travelling to the UK with their existing employer. Current eligibility must always be checked against official GOV.UK information; travelling together does not automatically establish eligibility.
Government, embassy, visa application centre, biometrics, insurance, translation, courier and other applicable third-party charges are separate.
Visa decisions are made solely by the relevant immigration authority. Gulf United Mobility does not guarantee visa approval.

Official references are orientation, not a staff-verified checklist. Individual requirements use our existing official-source verification process; possible changes require staff review before requirements are marked verified.
Designed for employers and households in Bahrain and the GCC.
Application-preparation support for international travel with an existing domestic worker, nanny, caregiver, chauffeur, cook or similar household employee. We can assess enquiries from other countries too. Bahrain residence alone does not create visa eligibility.

Gulf United Mobility provides application-preparation and document-support services only. Visa, immigration and work-authorisation decisions remain solely with the relevant authorities.
We do not guarantee eligibility, approval, work rights or visa issuance.
