Hi all,


Tell you abt my experience abt direct hire. I called up mom & talk with a customer service officer who assured me that I can do direct hire without going thru an agency. I have a aldy a candidate in mind & proceed to do the direct hire myself. What a joke! When I start to do all the necessary documents & started to liase with the Phillipines Embassy... I was curtly told by them that they will only deal with accredited agencies. :stupid: :stupid:
So I paid an agency a $3000 fee to get my helper. Now, after 2 months, she claimed that she missed her mother & wants to die if I don`t send her back soon. Looks like I have to fork out money to send her back asap & she havent repay me a single cent for her loan to me!!!!

Any advice from any of you would be much appreciated.

best regards,
Dannyho

Go check your contract with the agent.
I think you can return her to agent. You should get the balance of the loan money from the agent. They will have to transfer her to someone else or send her home (at their cost, not yours).

Is it possible to direct hire a phillipino maid (from Ph, not currently in SG)without going through an agency?

Yes, if the Filipino maid's last employer was you.

If not you need to go through both Singapore and Philippine agent to bring her in legally from Philippine. This is the Philippine's requirement, not Singapore's requirement.

Another way, is that you apply her, get the IPA and insurance and fly down to Philippine and fly back with her. There is a risk the Philippine immigration might stop you.

Can the maid just exit Philippines (after employer obtains the in-principle approval from MOM) as a tourist?

Even if she has got a two way ticket, there is high chance that she will be stopped, asked for show money, asked for hotel reservation, asked where did she get these money. It is a very stressful ordeal. Especially for ladies, the check is very stringent.

All I can say, is their immigration has been very effective.
