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.

Hi,


Will be renewing my indo maid’s pp soon. Would like to know what kind of questions the embassy would ask and what is the standard answer they expect? Also, read from the forum that renewal of passport cost about 100 plus, but saw from the embassy website that it cost $35, which is the correct cost? Thanks!

Hi,

Can I ask about Indonesian maid contract renwal?
My maid is coming to end of 4 yr contract. Going on home leave end-Nov.
She will continue with me, and already has her passport renewed (so it is stil valid), and WP already done.

Is it true i still need to go to the Indonesian Embassy with her to do a contract agreement? She needs it to do the KTKLN card?

Personally, I would think it is not ideal for a maid to take home leave at the end of her WP contract. She might have problems coming back. If it were up to me: 

First, ask if she wants to go for home leave. Give her a choice that if she doesn't go back at the end of contract, she can go back during the Hari Raya (which might be more meaningful); or end of the year (which you might be on holiday). 

Second, instead of going home at the end of the WP contract, I would get everything renewed first, and this is the process: 
1. Renew insurance 
2. Renew WP 
3. Goto Indonesian Embassy in SG to sign a FDW contract. At the moment, this service is free. Employer or adult from the same household to be present at an interview where salary and number of off-days will be asked and written down on contract. 

When your maid is back in Indonesia, she needs to go to their local MOM office to get a KTKLN card issued. This is COMPULSORY, without which they will not be able to return to SG. To issue this, they need to produce (1) Valid Work Permit; and (2) Signed FDW Contract from Embassy. This service is charged a small fee. 

When finally at the airport during their return, they have an additional airport tax. This changes from time to time but it would be wise to remind your maid to have cash with her until she is safely on the plane. Many predators lurk in the airport waiting for unsuspecting FDWs! 

You may wish to withheld 1 - 2 months pay to cover your costs - in case the maid does not return. But when she does, she will be very happy to see 2 months pay in her bank account, instead of having spent every single cent in her hometown - people are known to travel from afar to FDWs village, to borrow money, claim a loan, etc etc so often times FDW really ends up penniless by the time they reach airport.

Oh dear oh dear! My helper has less than 2 weeks’ validity for her work permit, does it mean I can’t get the work agreement from the embassy cos the website states minimum 2 weeks’ validity. Anyone with similar scenarios? I’m bringing her down with me tmr to renew her pp
