My ex-helper would like to return from Phillipine and work with us again after leaving for 4 years. I have called up the Phillipine embassy and they said is possible but insist that they want to see the old embassy contract. I have no idea what is this embassy contract and when I checked with my ex-helper, she also doesn't have any idea about it.


We only have the standard service agreement from the agent and her old work permit, but apparently they did not accept these documents.

Can someone advise me what is the embassy contract about and where can we find it as we do not want to go through agency?

I'm at a loss and would appreciate if someone can assist me.

Thank you.

Why don't you call your ex-maid agency to ask?

2 years ago, my sister only produced the agency contract, the maid workpermit and document of the cancellation of workpermit. (This is to prove that your maid worked for you at least 2 years.)

Thanks JJ.

Just found out that this ex-maid was under my other family name at that time. Is this still possible then?

You might want to call MOM to check the proper procedures. However, for the other employer, he/she has to sign a letter of undertaking that he/she will not transfer the maid within 2 years during the maid's employment with him/her when arranging for documents @ phillippines embassy. Not sure how comfortable is he/she to do the transfer for you?

It is really a lot of hassles when doing direct hire for filipino.

That means that employers of Filipino maids must undertake not to transfer the maid within 2 years? So if the maid doesn't work out or if she wants to transfer, how?

Tks Lynn

She was under a different employer name.

With regards to transfer, can I immediately transfer once she touched down here? What are the additional costs involved?

I tried before bring my ex-maid back to Singapore. Min 2 years working with you and a copy of her work permit last time.

One criteria I think would be the Employer must be the same.

When you mentioned \"other family name\", is it under a different employer? Or you changed your family name?

If it is under a different employer, maybe you would like to employ her back under the same employer name and do a transfer in Singapore when she is here. If it is changing of family name, guess you need to explain to phillippines embassy.

If remember correctly :-

1) Bring the necessary documents to the embassy to authenticate the new contract. You might want to make a trip down to the phillippines embassy to check what are the documents needed. (Air tickets to Singapore/New contract/think work permit (new and old also... )

2) Once the contract authenticate, you need to send the contract and all supporting documents to your ex-maid in phillippines. Taking the contract, she needs to apply for OEC in phillippines. With the OEC and air ticket, then she can board the plane to Singapore to work for you.

It is definately a lot cheaper to arrange on your own. I spent around SGD500-600 including air ticket/insurance/work permit etc as compared to SGD1k-2k+++ through agency.
