All About Full-Time Maids

[gsksp]

Hi I am new here and have a question about maid. I need to send my Myanmar maid home for home leave. What I need to prepare/give her for smooth clearance in custom? What I heared is Myanmar home leave is very complicated as compare to Filipino / Indo.

Oh yah, I wld to know abt the details too but mine is Filipino maid.

Also, can she renew her passport at embassy?

I’m interested in one from there, wonder if generally, their English is passable.

Cheers.

You can ask the Embassy when you renew the passport? There is a shop at Peninsula Plaza (can't rem the name but it's an employment agency) that can help renew passport at $50, and they can also help write a letter on the home leave thingy. You may want to ask them.

Hi,


Anyone can recommend me a good maid agency which I can go to? I am looking for a maid agency with good services? The one which I employed my maid doesnt provide good services & the agent fees are high too.

I appreciate your help.

Hi kopiying,
Yes, she can renew her passport at the Philippines embassy. Take the passport photos there as there is a requirement on their background and clothes.
Please also take along her work permit and I think your maid needs to pay $65 to $70, can't remember the exact price.
Do log on to th ephilippines website for their operating hours before you go and be prepared to spend at least an hour there. Long queue always
FYI, it is very warm and stuffy there.

I have been using NATION at Eastpoint for many years. They are very professional and patient. However do not go to Net Resources as I have terrible experience with them.

Hi, I used to have a indonesian maid from west timor. I think it is very hard to judge their proficiency of English from the area they come from as it is individual language ability.

You can try speaking to the maid from the phone to hear her standard of english.
