KTKLN for indo maid?

[mwchua]

Just checked with my helper. She does not have the KTKLN card. That's why the agent arranged for her to take flight from Jakarta to Batam, then Batam to Singapore via ferry. The agent said that way she does not need the KTKLN card.


Have any of you heard of this way?

Just wondering if I were to do self-renewal when her contract expire, do I need to apply for KTKLN card for her before she goes for home leave? I have read through this thread but still do not have a very good idea on how to apply for KTKLN card. Can apply for this card at the Indonesian embassy?

Thanks

Nope. The card can’t be done at the Indonesian embassy. It can only be done in the designated offices in Indonesia. But one of theoffice is located in Batam. May be your agent will do the card there? Please note that your helper would need the working agreement (to be done at the embassy) and copies of her passports and green card to do the card. Also need to buy insurance there at a fee.

Thanks for your advice Let me see whether she wants to renew her contract 1st. Nowadays all of them want to go HK/Taiwan.

Updates.


My maid went back on 12th November. She called me twice :
* Her flight arrived in JKT at 3plus. It wasn't until the next morning that they can leave the airport. She said that domestic workers cannot leave the airport and take transport by themselves. There is a transport that brings all the domestic workers from airport to somewhere..... Anyone is aware of such practise? Didn't have this issue when she flew directly to her kampung last time round.
* I gave her SGD as a bonus at the airport. She said they change the SGD I gave her to IDR but at a significantly lower rate.
* She called on last saturday saying that she had done her KTKLN card. it took her 1 day. However... she need to pay S$100 more to whoever... tsk tsk tsk

Just wonder why should the poor maid be exploited??? :spank:

For those whose maid are going back for home leave, take this as a watch out.

My maid went back on 30 Oct to yogkarta. She has the KTKLN card but the card has her ex employer address. So I asked her to change it or do a new card there. She sms me a week later telling me do not need to change address. The office there told her can still use. She came back on 17th Nov. No one gave her any issue due to this card.

Maid went home today.

Instructed her to make the KTKLN card immediately upon arrival at Yogjakarta.
Previously I called the office and they said she can make the card there.
They open till 3pm.
She reached there at 1:30pm and they told her that she cannot make the card there!
I don’t know what was the reason, she told me over the phone but I could not understand her.
Anyway, she was instructed to do the card in Cilacap which is like 5 hours from her home town.
I don’t know what is going on!
I don’t even know if she will be able to make the card.

I asked my maid to sms me… now I know the reason.


The officer there said she does not have her ktp and kk card with her so cannot make!
Ktp card is like the NRIC and kk i suppose is birth cert.

Why is it that the Indonesian Embassy did not inform us of this?
And also when maid called the Yogjarkata office when she was in Singapore, they did not inform her as well.

Carebear,

It must be stressful for you. My helper managed to do her KTKLN card in Bandung without any pb. My geography is not good but is Bandung near Yogjakarta?
