All About Maid's passport renewal

[minnie]

Karrine:

I just did my Indonesian Maid PP renewal yday, it took me about 1.5hrs, I was lucky that the interview went well, i told him i'm giving her an increase to S$450 from S$ 340 with no off days, he didnt even persuade me to give her off days as i read online that they will persuade the employers to give them off days.

Please photocopy all docs before hand as they charged at S$ 0.50/pc. And for the photos, my maid has some balance of the photos she took and when i asked the photo shop cashier from the embassy, they said cannot therefore she re-took however it turned out that her photos she had was much clearer and nicer.

My maid just started work with me for few months but her passport is going to expiry in May 2013. When i took her, the agent did not inform me about her passport validity. What is the interview at embassy about?

mwchua:

The Indonesian embassy website stated that processing time for Indo foreign workers is 3 working days.


Does it mean that if we submit on Monday, can only collect on Friday?

Thanks.

Should be Wed, unless there's ph in between.

Minnie: If your maid’s passport expires in May2013, it means her WP expires in Apr2013. So, you will need to do all these (if renewing her contract):

1. Renew passport @ Embassy
2. Sign contract @ Embassy
3. Renew WP (online or through agent)

1 & 2 to be done together. I hope your maid would’ve serve a full 2-year by the Apr 2013. Else, you lose out because you would’ve made all payments for 2yrs, e.g. insurance.

Hi Straffan23,

Thanks for replying. What kind of contract at Embassy?

As for insurance, my agent purchased for 26months as she overlooked my maid passport validity.

We did the application for maid’s passport renewal last week. We brought her along. Question - do we need to bring her to the embassy again for the passport collection next week? Advice please. Thanks.

no need. any family member with the same household address can collect on behalf. but ensure that the NRIC address is the same as the maid registered address. remember to bring the contract and the proof of payment slip.

Hi,


Can anyone share with me the following information regarding renewing Maid's PP:

1) What is the interview of renewing Indonesian Maid all about? What kind of questions will be asked?
2) What is the contract in this forum referred to? Does the embassy ask the employer and maid to sign some contracts?
3) My maid passport expire in Sept 2013 but her work permit expired in Mar 2013. I know I have to renew the passport first as work permit depends on that as well. So am i right to say that I need to get ready her new passport by Jan 2013 so that we could renew her work permit by Mar 2013?

Thanks for your advice.
