All About Direct Maid Hire

[almostkiasu]

I only let her pay for all the costs involved - much lesser than the agent’s loan. Something like $50 off every month until all costs are covered.

You need to apply for In-Principal approval from MOM. Can do it online. Then get insurance- best from NTUC, fast and efficient,

Most instructions are online from MOM website. I have always done DIY w/o any agent. But always from India.

Not sure if there are any requirements for maids from Philipines. Can check with MOM officer over phone but waiting time on MOM hotline is like 20mins min!

I advise all employers to be very careful when hiring direct. Experiences from my relatives and friends are that the risk of them having the mindset of just coming here to 'look see and vacationing' is there.


My relative once had a maid from direct hiring, after having worked for 3 days told her that she wants to go back to her kampung as she had already been here and see a big city already... :faint: :faint: :faint:

How will you handle this if you were in my relative's shoe?
