Queen or Maid:

She applies or renews her KTKLN card when she is back in Indonesia. What you need to do on your end now is to get her the working contract from the local Indonesia Embassy. It is a two/three pages document signed by yourself / helper and endorsed by the embassy. They will give you two copies (one for her to bring back) and some notes with addresses where she can apply for the KTKLN card back home. She will also need to purchase insurance (Rp290,000) – all done by her in Indonesia. The card is like their exit permit and it is not tied to her passport validity. My helper passport is expiring in October but was issued a 2 years validity KTKLN card.
In fact, my helper went back in December and I was so worried (or kiasu) she will get held back in Indonesia I even got my home address endorsed in her passport. I kept reminding her to sort out the KTKLN card first before she enjoys her home leave which she did and sent me a text too.
Apply the levy waiver online on CPF website upon her return.
My indonesian maid has KTKLN card and still valid till Nov'13. She going home for 2 weeks. She was transferred from another employer and has worked for me for 6 months. My agency did not give me any working contract endorsed by the embassy when I hire her.
Can she just go home leave with the KTKLN and WP card, with the contract?
Is it a must for her to have a stamp on the passport?
If really need to go embassy to do all those, must the employer go down personally with the maid or can I get my sister or someone else to help bring her? -

My maid will be going back for her holiday soon too. So do we need to apply home leave for them? My maid KTKLN card will only expiring March 2014. She said she will go home and renew it.
One more qns for those employers maid will come back to continue the contract, will you hold some amount from them? Just in case, they don come back anymore. If yes, what is the amount? -
Hi
May I know what’s a KTKLN card?
Don’t think my mom’s maid has it, and she’s going on home leave this Dec.
Thanks! -

if maid has bank account, just keep the min sum in there. If not, up to maid and employer to agree. If maid is long timer, maybe not required. Sometimes the maid may have good reasons to bring all her money home (buy house etc) and may get disgruntled if employer try to hold their money. Remember it IS their hard earned money afterall.My maid will be going back for her holiday soon too. So do we need to apply home leave for them? My maid KTKLN card will only expiring March 2014. She said she will go home and renew it.

My mom’s helper is looking to go back to her town in Indonesia for two weeks in late August.
It so happened that her passport will expire in mid September and her work permit a week before.
We have received a letter to ask for us to bring her to medical checkup.
We are now lost what steps we should take. She is no longer with agent as she has been with us for more than 8 years.
Also we are not renewing her work permit and she is presently looking for her employer herself.
Appreciate any advice.
