      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.

                        What will happen if we refuse to sign the agreement that they draft because some of the clause may be in conflict with the maids agreement signed at the agency?
