Info for Indo maids:
1. They must have valid passport, then can get work permit (WP) for 2 years or up to 1 month before their passport expires.
2. After you get the WP, you are advised to take them to the embassy in SG(opens 9-12pm; and 3-5pm) to sign the contract.
3. Minimum wage is $400. Does not say off-day is compulsory.
4. If they go back to Indo for holiday, they need to make the KTKLN card - and this can only be done in Indo. Docs required incl the agreement with their Indo Embassy stamp! They need to show this KTKLN card before they can pass their immigrations - so, no KTKLN = no come back to Singapore!
This is their government's way to track and protect the FDW. So, for example, if your maid's passport is still valid, and not going for home leave, looks like no need to go, right? So far, there is no mandate. But if the FDW renews the passport, part of the requirement is also to sign the contract.
Note: Info accurate at time of posting.

clarification: so if my two weeks old maid jus received her valid passport n wp, need to go to indo embassy sign contract. i need to bring her or her agent can do all tis?

Shebeautiful: You would notice that you do not have a contract with your maid, right? Because the only contract recognised (for Indo) is the contract signed at the embassy. I think you should, to protect your own interest. Also make the maid think not so easy to change employer? Not sure. Interesting to hear what the agency say? Since you must’ve paid them a fee, you should consult them first.
For signing the contract at embassy, the employer or any other adult residing at same address as the FDW can go. Agent cannot.
Maybe other forumers have better advice? -
is tis applies for new maids? or for all? mine is a transfer maid. here working for 5yrs oredi. her last visit to indo was three years ago.

The point that I am trying to make is this: You do not have a contract/agreement with your maid. If you want this, you will need to goto the embassy to get it done.
Else, you can get it done at a later date when your maid renews her passport, or before she goes for home leave. -

Hi,
I have a Myannmar maid and I need to send her back as she wants to go back to her hometown, citing all sorts of excuses like family problems ...blah blah blah. Actual reason - she dislikes taking care of my elderly father. She had just caused my father to fall on several occassions and hit his head and she is not even one year with my parents !!!!! :mad:
My agency says they will get a replacement maid for me but since the existing maid wants to go back instead of transfer, I have to get the air ticket for her myself and send her to the airport.The only thing they will do is to terminate her work permit for me. :rant:
I don't have such experience before and need some enlightenment.
Can someone please advise me like where to get cheap air tickets to Myannmar and what are the things that I need to do ? :scratchhead:
Thank you.
