Renewal of passport - who pays?
-
Hiaweh:
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?
Of course agent can do it for you. Pay only lor. :moneyflies:

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.Hiaweh:

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. -

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. -
Really? My last renewal was 2 years ago. Thanks. Will take note.

Ya just go embassay to sign papers but very time consuming.

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?

share story with you guys.. when i took my maid, her pp was abt to expire and the agent told me tht if agent renewed for me it would be cheaper and easier. the agent charged me $200. with the intro of the ktkln card, my maid needs to produce the working agreement from the embassy. when i went to the embassy i was told that the agreement had already been issued at the time of renewal of pp and to go and ask my agent for it. i asked my agent, who said the agreement was with my maid, but my maid has never seen it before. stress. had to file police report for lost agreement then go back to embassy to get another agreement.
and i found out how easy it was to make the passport myself with my maid.. $45 max incl $10 for foto.
