      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?[/quote]How to prove she hasn't come back?
      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: )

        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

              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.
