Does anyone claimed levy with MOM before while maid on leave? What’s the procedures and requirement?

you can go to mom.gov.sg website to lodge a waiver, but only after the maid has returned to singapore because you need to submit document like air ticket and copy of the immigration chop on the passport as proof

the refund will be offset against the level in the month when the refund is approved

Maid said will return but did not. How to proof?

Only way is to cancel her wp and see if it can be done retroactively based on when she leaves the country. Else wait for her return like what vks2010 suggested.


But how to keep waiting for her to return? For me, the risk is if she return using the wp, but not to the employer home. that will be the real headache.

I think it’s good she has money with the employer. I’m impressed she hasn’t flown back back yet for that amount. Usually I will keep - but in the bank, and under her name (joint account), and usually the quantum is not so much becos she would want to bring home to buy land/house etc.

You don't have to prove that at all.
Immigration Dept will have record of everyone leaving/ entering. Left, but didn't enter subsequently - they will prove that she's gone and didn't come back. (unless ahe came back but you don't know :yikes: )

[verykiasu2010]

if the maid has not returned, you simply cancel the work permit. no way for her to return using the wp and go to someone else


the wp is issued to work for you - your name is on her wp - no way she can work with anyone else

and based on the cancel date, FWL payment will stop

if you have proof like airticket showing departure date, there is way for MOM to verify with immigration, their computers are linked, to verify the departure date, and claim the refund, but takes time

gahmen won’t eat our money this way

think it is time to train your kids to help with chores and do without a maid

Thanks all for the advices. She's not coming back, avoiding call from our end. Yes mind switched \" No Maid Mood\"

Thanks for advice to check her luggage. My last maid sealed up most of her stuff and very quickly sent them home by sea-mail - the big box type. Her face was very black when I tried to check her luggage. Luckily I thought about this scenario, did an inventory check and transferred all the more valuable and important items to a small room at StorHub and a safe deposit box with Certis Cisco 4 months before she was due to leave. I put all the more valuable and important stuff there, including branded items.

Luckily, my maid took small items and hide in her purse. My hair clip and sock!!! Angry part was she insisted belong to her which are not possible- clip & sock from Jpn. She also took my dried mushroom (half pack) 1 bottle of J&J milk bath - all she need just ask from me and i’ll jolly give it to her…

Piss off also when claim for waiver of maid level - MOM needs letter from airline office to proof that she "flew". Garuda want charge me $30 for admin fee and must go down office to pick up somemore… cannot understand why $30? only a pc of paper and few sentences. $10-$15 is still acceptable $*@#@#!!!

Huh? MOM cannot talk to ICA to ascertain the maid left? Send email and cc your mp - faster. This is ridiculous.
