Hi Cmf,


Thanks for your replies. Helps me alot.

Will go to the embassy next mth with all the necessary prep work.

thnks again!

Hi CMF,


Sorry afew more clarifications,

1) If we go the night before, then therotically we need be there at about 830am the next morning when they open right?

2) Do we need employment contracts? cos my helper is already into her 3rd year in Singapore. (she continued from after 2 years contract under previous agency) Now working with us need formal contract ar?

3) According to our helper, she mentioned that the embassy in Myanmar last time will take her photos there n then. So if we bring her own passport photos, isit valid? how many do we need to bring?

4) How do they calculate her tax? 10% of income? eg. if she stayed for 30mths in Singapore, means 30x Salary x 10%?

Also I heard since April there is a new type of passport. How much did u renew for the passport? 3yrs validity right?

5) Everythg pay in cash, wah that means we need to pass her so much cash. Wait she become very stress. haha

6) Wah, she reach at 730am then 3pm+ then can go. So poor thing.

Thanks for your help. :celebrate:

regards

hi,


I heard that there is a new passport system for myanmar maids.

I have read this Link:
http://www.mesingapore.org.sg/consular_services.htm#renewal_passport

But their details are vague.

Anyone with recent experiences to share?

1) photos/items to bring?
2) need to pay income tax before renewal of passport?
3) procedure to apply the new passport? queue at embassy how long? Can put my maid there 1st thg in morning? come back later? or employers need to queue together?

The reason why I asked is cos my agency refuse to help us apply cos its no longer 'easy money' i guess. Cos alot of work for little money for them.

Any advice will be useful for me.

thnks all!

regards
