Amazingly, their email listed on their website bounced back when I sent an email to them.

To update, my maid managed to collect her passport on Friday by herself. I cannot be bothered to ask how long it takes anymore. The slip says collection from 3pm to 5pm. To make it simple, I even arranged to have dinner outside so that she won’t need to rush back to cook. And in return, this is what I get:


On Saturday night, she told me "Mam, tomorrow I go out" (offday). Usually her off day is once a month (because she doesn’t want to waste money on off-days), and usually taken on the 3rd weekend of the month. However, she went for her offday in April, then 10 days of paid home leave (while we were on holiday)… and 4 days at the embassy this week… and then to top it all up a last minute notice for going out? I asked her why and what is it that she needed to do that she couldn’t do in the 4 days that she was out. Her reply "then I don’t go". Then sulked all weekend. Then cooked cup noodles for all our lunch on sunday… duh…

Sigh, I got upset when I found out that PHL embassy is now on a 5days week. Well ok, good news for the staffs there but bad news for employers here.

Everything now has to take appointment online, go one day submit form, come back another day to collect. When she needs to do exit pass, the cycle repeats. I have to take leaves to take care of my kids so that she can go embassy. This is not all, home leave and exit pass needs $$. Go back holiday also must apply exit pass and pay. One pass one holiday. My helper said she was \"forced\" to make donation too. So each time she makes exit pass, she has to donate..hmmm

Hi all,

My Filipino maid with us only 3 months. She needs to renew her passport soon. I hired her without agency. I download the employment contract from MOM site and we signed it. On the Filipino embassy website I found, that the employment contract need to be verified. Please let me know,
- what is procedure for the employment contract verification?
- is it possible to do it same day with passport renewal appointment?
- how expensive is that?
- who needs to pay passport renewal fee? An employer or a maid?
- do I need to be in the embassy for the contract verification?

Thank you

Hi, if my Filipino helper's passport is expiring in June next year and wants to go home for good, can she still work all the way till May/June? Does she really need 6 months validity to go back to Philippines?


Thanks

I have the same question in mind... anyone has the answers?

They key word to the answer to your question is \"home\".
Don't need 6 days validity, not to mention 6 mths.
You need 6 mths validity to enter a FOREIGN land.

You need to make a police report. With that report then can make a new work permit.
