              You will receive a letter from MOM and the instructions to renew the permit online is indicated there.

              If I remember correctly, it also states the minimum validity period required for the passport. The Myanmar embassy is located at Nassim Road in case you need to renew it. 1 day affair. The new passport will be ready around late evening. Think the appointment can be made online. Not sure if they entertain walk - in.

              You will need to renew her insurance. This is a pre - requisite before your online application for renewal.

              I did not do it myself as I was too busy but the above are the steps based on my agent's status updates during my recent renewal. Took about 2 weeks.

                  Hi,

                  I need advises on how to let my maid go back Indonesia as her husband and father pass away suddenly. Do I have to go Indonesia Embassy to get the letter or KTLN card? Also will I be able to get the document on the same day? Very concerned as I am left with only 2 days leave.
                  My maid agency told me that Indonesia embassy only open on mon-thurs. Realized it only today that it also open.
                  My maid only works for me a year but she actually has a lot problems. Wont be renewing her contract next year dec.
                  she wants to go back asap and only for 3 days.
                  Also do I have to get the letter or ktln card from Indonesia embassy before buying air tkt?Can I buy air tkt first?

                    To fatmama,

                    I don’t know for sure what the current situation is. But this is what I had to do the first time my Indon FDW went home for a holiday:
                    had to take her to Indon Embassy to get my address endorsed in her passport. This had nothing to do with the KTKLN, it was way before the KTKLN was introduced.

                    Btw, please be mentally prepared that your FDW will probably not be returning to Singapore to complete her contract.

                      I have the same sentiments. Hope we are wrong. All the best!

                        I have 2 young kids, one is 2.5yo n 8mo. Very fed up with maids cos everytime check on CCTV saw they always din fullfil the chores we tell them to do like mopping , wash toilets. Reminded several times still can say they have already done the chores. I really feel like going maidless or resort to part time maids . But is the cooking part which I don know how I should handle . Any one has any ideas? Or just listen to most of them say close 1 eye since my kiddos r still small n really need a 3rd helping hand. But close 1 eye to wat extend??
