Renewal of passport - who pays?

[Hard Truth]

well, I am pretty 'relax' with her, she chit chats with my neighbor's maids (outside my house) during tea in the morning, afternoon and after household chores from 8 plus everyday so I do not restrict her on making friends and chatting with them. But what is disturbing is that to see her out of my house in the afternoon, many many houses away, on another street and trying to hide among bushes when she saw my car. If she needs to return a book or leave the house a little while she could hv just sms me and inform me.


Is she pinching things out of your home? My neighbour learnt the hard way when his maid go roaming outside his home

Hi,


I just want to share that it is cheaper and easier to renew the passport on line for your Phil.helper.

I did it for my helper and only have to pay $102. It's really easy send application on-line with documents, then they will give you an appointment date. On the day of appointment just have to go embassy, take photo etc then get another appointment date to collect passport.

MrsSeah:

What I did was to get my maid to pay for the renew first. Tell her that if she worked 2 years for me, I will reimburse her. If she break her contract 1/2 way thru, than I wouldn't pay for her.

That's what I did too.
Agent says they have to pay passport renewal themselves and they know.

Has anyone renewed their Indo maid’s passport lately in SG? I was told that it is quite a hassle if we were to go and do it on our own. Is it possible to ask agent to do it?

That I know but I was told that employer has to be present with the maid during renewal. So m not sure if that's the requirement, then agent can still do on behalf.

If you do it yourself much much cheaper than you ask agent to help. But if your time cost more $, I suggest you ask agent to help.

Then who will sign the "employment agreement contract" that they make employers sign after the interview, if we get agent to do it?

I remembered the agent ask me to sign some papers.


It is about $100+ more to ask agent to do. The first one I did on my own, have to travel to go embassy to take number followed by going to one photo studio to take photos then back embassy again. Then go to a lawyer to sign some paper. Took me whole day. Stressful.

What agent you went to that charges only $100 extra. ~How much in total you paid?
Was it Indon maid? Nowadays relatively easy and cheap to renew. Don't need to go to a lawyer's office anymore. Just go embassy once to sign agreement n submit form (but prob have to wait patiently in Q). Then go back to collect the passport a few days later. Less than $100 all in.
