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.

Hi All,

I have a friend who is in Batam has a contact officer to do the KTKLN , he is charging at S$180 per pax (with full documents supported)… if more than 2 pax, fee is negotiable.(if door to door service, subject to addition fee) <– i am not sure is the fee reasonable? pls advice
what you need to do is scan and email the documents to him, once the officer confirmed can be done, he will ask for 50% deposit upon collect the documents from you, and remaining 50% upon collection of the card.

Hi,


For airflight, I booked Lion Air. SIN - JKT return. My maid is going back in mid Nov and it cost $119 for the return airfare. It is by default 20 kg luggage so no need to add on like budget airline. You can try to check the flight and price online. Unfortunately due to payment system, we cannot pay online so can only purchase the ticket at Changi airport terminal 1 or stamford court where Lion Air is based.

I went to the Indonesia embassy this am to do up a new working agreement for my maid. This is one of the criterias for KTKLN as they have indicated in a notice in the embassy. No need for forms,etc… I went directly to 2nd floor, got a queue number from the working agreeement reception and we were done (eg. got the signed working agreement) by 9.30am.

I also checked on the home leave endorsement. My maid currently has a endorsement in her passport so I enquired if I need to have that renew. They said this is only necessary when changing passport otherwise the earlier endorsement is valid.

Thanks for sharing such good deals. I also found some cheap tickets to Jakarta with air Asia and tiger airways but my helper said she prefers to fly to Bandung to do the paperworks. searched for cheaper airlines and found Batavia airlines. I am not sure whether it flies to Jakarta but you may try. Only setbacks is that they don’t fly everyday. Managed to get $150 round trip with 20 or 25 kg allowance. I could buy the tickets online.

I know Lion Air flies to different part of Indonesia. You may want to try that. Forget Batavia airlines if you've not book.

I used Batavia airlines the 2 yrs back. My maid is from Lumpung.... So she had to fly to Jakarta and take a connection fligth to Lumpung. But guess what... the flight was cancelled or rescheduled at the last minute and till today... I still cannot get back the payment. My maid cannot collect the payment on my behalf. For that amount, I won't want to fly to Indonesia for that. So just write off. So personally, i will never do batavia again. At least Lion Air has a direct sales office in spore.

Do the comparison, I tried Air Asia, Tiger and Jetstar and all amounted to around $170 - $190 with option of 20kg. So Lion air was cheap comparatively.

Oh no! Hope the flight won’t be cancelled! Already paid the tickets. 
