KTKLN for indo maid?

[yeo88]

Hi Carebear and anyone with info,

Just came back from Indonesian embassy to renew passport and to do the work agreement. Passport renewal was quick but it took longer for the work agreement as they opened later and only one counter was opened at the beginning. You have to go to the second floor to do it.

I had to do the work agreement as it is a requirement to process the new passport but then, I realise that the work agreement has the existing WP number. I wonder whether this will be a problem when our helpers try to obtain the KTKLN card as her new WP number would be different from the WP Nb stated in the working agreement. I forgot to ask just now. What do you think? Do we need to redo the work permit agreement after new WP is done?

or would MOM issue WP with same number?

Don't worry the work permit number will forever be the same!
Even if the maid leaves Singapore and returns, it will still be the same.
It is unique to each maid.
That's how you can view your previous maids info on whether they return to Singapore to work again for someone else.

Yeah! Such a relief! Like our ic nb!!!


Thanks. Regarding insurance, seems ntuc has better coverage. They told me we can renew over the phone and they can process within the same day. And they give option between 14- month and 26- month. Just sharing.

Actually I wanted to continue with AIA but they said can only renew through agent and agent gave the wrong info that WP can only be renewed 1 month before expiry.
So I called NTUC and they were very helpful and gave the exact info given by MOM and also can renew through phone and policy will be in force the next day.
Since they so efficient and knowledgeable i bought from NTUC.
Later I might add on a rider for a higher hospitalization claim, should my maid return to work.

Yup.
Oh, if you have purchased air ticket prior to making new passport, remember to call airline company to change the passport number.
I just did mine this morning.

Thanks for all your tips. Saving me lots of headaches. Haven’t bought tickets yet. Waiting for all these paper issues to be settled. Any good offer now? My helper going back to Jakarta.

You said your maid going back in November, right?
Better book soon or no more tickets left and it will be more expensive nearer the date of departure.
But maybe in your case if going to Jakarta, will have more flights.
I booked mine with Air Asia 2 months ago so I got it at a promotional rate.
