KTKLN for indo maid?

[tanjack77]

Without the KTKLN, the immigration officials in Jakarta will make it hard for her to exit the country if she is going back there on holiday. Usually, the maid agency should have helped the maid to apply for one before coming to Singapore but some agencies apparently cut costs by conveniently omitting this.

What if the KTKLN card expires while the maid has her contract + work permit extended here in SG? Will it pose any problems for her when she returns for good?


I’m thinking of extending the contract and WP here, but ignoring the KTKLN card expiry. From what I gather, she should not encounter problems entering her own country after that?

I wonder if someone can help me with my situation. My maid is a transfer maid so her documents are somewhat all unsync. Her passport expires 24 Nov 2016. her KTKLN card expires 13 Dec 2013. Her work premit expires 29 Sep 2014 which is also when her contract expires.


Can I ignore the KTKLN card expiry for now? Till she decides to renew her contract in 2014. If she decides to renew her contract, then I need go to the Indo embassy to get a new contract done, do up a new WP then she can come back from her home leave? Can I renew her contract before the existing contract ends?

Am wondering if anyone of you have tried to hire an Indo maid with going through an agency?


My in laws who are living in Bali found a lady who is ex-SIN maid and will like to come back to Singapore to work.

She will renew her passport on her own and will apply for the KTKLN card in Bandung. But how does she apply for the "Employment contract, issued and endorsed by the Embassy?"

Can someone help me shed some light on how do I go about getting this done.

Hi reddiechan,


The KTKLN card is only good if she is still coming back.

If she is returning for good, the expired KTKLN card would not pose any problem. Plus, if she is returning for good, her passport need not have 6 months validity too. Save money to renew her passport

Thank you! joanne_mas :thankyou:

The KTKLN card is only needed when your helper needs to come back to Singapore from Indonesia. So yes, you can ignore the KTKLN expiry for now I believe.

Thank you!! Though I think I will have to get a proper contract done at Indo Embassy if she decides to take home leave before the 2 years is up. The contract signed at the agency dont seem very proper and likely not recognised by the Indo government.

Make sure you bring IC photos for her, and set aside at least 2 hours to get it done. At least its free!
