711mum,


You're welcome!

I was charged $450 for renewal of passport. After you have renewed your maid's passport, you can do the exit pass application on your own.

For exit pass application for home leave, I asked my maid to go embassy to do on her own. Cost $11 in total. $5.50 for the Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) and $5.50 for Pag-IBIG Fund membership contribution $5.50.

Thanks for the additional info :hugs:

Hello…

I bet your estate agent will have kept very quiet about the automatic renewal process, in the hope that you will pay them another fee.

There need not be anything in the tenancy agreement about automatic renewal. Statutory means by statute. In other words the government already made this condition. You need only to continue accepting the rent.

Thanks,

Hi,

recently renewed my maid's contract.

I did not really source around for insurance, I just grab the one which is more convenient for me. I bought income. The insurance i bought also help to renew the work permit, security bond etc. with courier service to pick up the documents from me from my home.

My maid's passport will only expire in another 3 yrs. So she do not need to renew her passport. So I'm unable to comment on this.

Hi, I renewed my maid last year but she is going back this year so in the process of getting a new maid....So impression is still quite clear.

For passport, if the validity is more than 2 years, there is no need to renew. However, if the validity is less than 2 years, it is recommended to renew the passport first before you renew her work permit. Otherwise the work permit is only valid up to the passport expiry date. Then you have to go through the entire renewal process again... So might as well just do it right the 1st time round. Mine is indo maid so I did the renewal at the embassy by myself.

Note that there are complications for indo maid if she is going back on home leave and she does not have ktkln card. There is another discussion on this. For this, you will need to ensure that you get a new working agreement drafted as well. Also, you need to remember to do the home leave stamping at the embassy.

For insurance, we got AIA. Bil is a agent so I did everything through him. Eg. submit the form, credit card details and he will tell me when to go online to apply for renewal. Seems to be fuss free. As my maid was with us for 5 years, I went for a mid plan for her so that better medical coverage. I didn't go for bond protector as it is lower risk.

WP Collection was fairly fuss free too as I think we can make appointment? I went on saturday morning and was done within 30 mins.
