All About Maid's passport renewal

[carebear]

Went to collect Indon maid passport today.

Again it was a breeze.
Arrived there at 4pm, just walked in and was served immediately.

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?

There is a photo copy machine and a photo taking machine there, but usually there is a queue and it would slow down the process.

They only needed one copy of the documents i mentioned earlier and 2 photos. But I was like you, afraid that they require more, so i made 4 copies! and stood by more photos!

I was No.1 on the queue, so the whole process took less than an hour.

Thanks! Went out last night to do her pictures. Discovered that the pictures she took earlier was on blue background. Seems like the requirements have changed. Also made copies. Going there this morning. Hope I can settle everything in 1 hour too! Thank you for all your help.

Hi carebear,

Just finished! Also took me an hour! Was third in queue! Passport renewal was fast but had to wait almost one hour for the work permit agreement. They had only one counter opened at the beginning. Later, a second one opened. Thanks again for all your advices.

I just did my Indonesian Maid PP renewal yday, it took me about 1.5hrs, I was lucky that the interview went well, i told him i'm giving her an increase to S$450 from S$ 340 with no off days, he didnt even persuade me to give her off days as i read online that they will persuade the employers to give them off days.

Please photocopy all docs before hand as they charged at S$ 0.50/pc. And for the photos, my maid has some balance of the photos she took and when i asked the photo shop cashier from the embassy, they said cannot therefore she re-took however it turned out that her photos she had was much clearer and nicer.

The work permit will only be renewed up to 1 month before passport expiry. Once the passport is renewed, the work permit can then be extended to the full 2 years.

Yes, do the passport renewal first. When i did my maid’s PP renewal, there’s still 1 year left to the expiry date. I renewed this July, the expiry date was next yr Jul. No issues.
