My family is joining me in Dubai from Brazil in August and we would like to bring my wife's nice to Dubai to live with us for a while. This is for her to study english and possibly improve her life a little. I will be working for a major company in Dubai starting in May.

We would take care of her financially, but we are uncertain if this is even a possibility in regards to visa.

Could we bring her on a domestic helper visa, or a student visa?
How long could she stay on a tourist visa?
Can the tourist visa be extended?
What would be easier?
Where could we find information on what sort of courses she could study while in Dubai?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Max 90 days on a renewed visit visa.
Yearly student visa possible if enrolled in a decent educational institute.
Others know the details better.

Niece?

If she has a passport from some countries, she can renew visitor visa easily every 2 months. Supposed to be a maximum of 9 months or something but she might get away with longer. Not sure if she can enrol for study but then a student visa should be fine.

Tourist visa is not the same as visit visa.

Dubai visas has a list of countries with easy entry.
Dubai visit visa renewal might help also.
