All About Maid's passport renewal

[Cartier]

Hi MMM


Thank you so much for your quick response. I take it that anyone can go on behalf of the employer and everything is paid by cash no NETS?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Not sure about Nets but it's good to ensure you have cash to cover all the expected expenses.

Hi


I am also planning to renew my maid this or next week. Will the queue be shorter next week since school holidays will be over ? Any advice?
BTW, my maid’s friend (also a maid) renewed her passport last month and photo was taken at a studio , she said no problem.

Any other employer had their maid’s picture taken elsewhere besides the embassy and passed?

BTW, there is no parking at the embassy right?

I will be renewing my Indon maid passport next week.

I would like to know whether I can do all the following in 1 day?

- Renewal of passport
- Endorsement of passport with employer’s address
- Application for the working agreement

Thank you!

Where can I park at the Indonesian Embassy?

Many years ago i remembered i parked in a nearby paid car park but spaces were limited.

It was a breeze at the Indonesian embassy today.

It took < 1 hour !
I went there early after sending my kids to school to avoid the peak traffic. Arrived there at 8:15 am, parked along bishopgate and walked about 200 m before reaching the embassy. There was a queue at the waiting area before you enter. 9am sharp they open the counter and we each had to exchange a card for a pass. Any card with your name on it can as long as it is NOT a business card, ic , work permit or passport. They accept isetan card, link card, club membership card etc.

As uncle lim had previously mentioned, go to Level 1, take a quene number from the machine located between counter 2 and 3, then wait for the number to be called.
Green form to fill in particulars - this can be downloaded from the embassy website, fill it up first at home. If not then after getting the number, immediately go to the left of the counter, on the wall there are the forms and an English translation of it on the wall.

When your number is called,
Proceed to counter 1 or 2.
Get ready the following : maid passport and its copy ( page 2 and 3 and the last page)
Work permit and its copy
Employer nric and its copy
2 maid photos in white background, matte not glossy
The completed form
$35

Then you will be given a payment slip which you will collect at counter 3.

Then you proceed to level 2 for a short interview.
After that you wait for a short while before they give you the collection slip and the working agreement.
Another working agreement will be given to your maid for application of the KTKLN card if she is returning for home leave.

Collection of passport is 2 working days form today ie 14 oct 3 to 5 pm and can be done by anyone who has the same residential address as the employer.

I am going tomorrow. Thanks for sharing. I’ll get everything ready tonight. Is there a copier machine there? I am afraid I don’t have all the copies on hand. We can also take pictures there?
