KTKLN for indo maid?

[Staycation]

My helper has been in and out of Singapore for more 10 years. She has never been asked to produce the card. My neighbour’s maid just came back from home leave, same thing, no one ask to check the card at immigration.


Guess, this is pure paperwork but sadly we still have to do it…

khaine:

Some of the data required include the maid's ID card#, parents and grandfather name and address (I don't know why they need grandfather name...), maid agency name, employer details, the maid's monthly salary, home leave visa# (therefore I have to wait till I get back her passport after home leave application if I want to apply online), etc.

Hi khaine,
Thanks for your Detail explanation.
Really Good of U to share your First Hand Experience with us!
:thankyou:

Can't help grinning at your wonder at the request for \"grandfather name\" ....
But on thinking further, mayhaps it is necessary as Many Salimah working for us may have the Same Fatimah (mum) and Mohd (dad) ....
So Better Go one more layer up, to ensure the card issued is for the Right Person?? ....

So Going by what U experience, better for the Maid to apply the card when they back in Indo

carebear:

Her permit ends on 22/11/2011, and her passport in October 2012.

She intends to go back from 1/11/2011 to 15/11/2011.
I think the time frame is a bit dicy as it is too close to the expiry of her WP.

May I know when is the best latest time for her to go back?
Can she go home before she renews her permit and passport?

TIA.

Hi carebear,
If U can Trust Your Maid to Come Back ....
Better Renew it before she go home.
Renewal of WP Can b Done within the Last Month of expiry, and no earlier.
So U could send in the renewal from 23/10/2011 onwards, still got time to get back all the doc before her departure on 1/11/2011.

If she go home, and come back after the expiry date on 22/11/2011, she won't be able to re-enter Spore using her WP.
Then U need to re-apply again, and the process could be lengthy.
(And U will have to GO MAID-less during the period ....)

Her passport can be renew in Spore in the Indon Embassy next year.
MOM will issue her renew WP up to 1 mth b4 passport expiry.
but upon her new passport renewal (think it's 3 years), U can apply to MOM to Update her passport data, as well as extend the WP up to the full 2 years.

Note : Indo Embassy want Employer to bear cost of their Renewal of Passport .... (think its $60+ ....)

Hope this Info helps.

My maid actually has this card since she came 2 years ago. It will expire in 2012. She told me her agent in Indo processed for her. Therefore I think it is OK.

Thanks Funx3.
I have decided to trust her and renew before she goes home.
She has voluntarily offered to put a deposit with me to assure me of her return.
I really hope she will keep her promise.
