<![CDATA[After cancelling Maid's WP, how many days is allowed to stay in Singapore?]]>It is impt for eyer’s to note that when cancelling FDW’s WP, it is the eyer’s responsibility to purchase an air-ticket for home country repatriation within the stipulated time. For each & everyday the helper is ‘lingering’ in SG, the eyer is responsible for all related expenses - cost of replacement ticket for missed flight, health related expenses & additional accommodation or accident related expenses (almost all under the sun). So it’s best to ensure they enter that “Departure Gate”. The ICA will ensure the helper boards thereafter. It’ll be an offense to miss flights or linger at the airport.

I am about to cancel my maid's work permit. I read the information in MOM regarding the requirement of departure dates is confusing. Anybody can help me? I write to MOM but there is no reply.

Buy a direct air ticket to the international airport in the helper's home country, nearest to her hometown:
You must pay for the air ticket and it must include check-in luggage.
The departure date must be within 2 weeks from the cancellation.

Flights are more than 14 days from work pass expiry\tRegister online to extend their stay.

The first link mentioned maid must return back to hometown within 2 weeks after cancellation. The second link mentioned to extend stay for more than 14 days from work pass expiry. Is it allowed to let maid stay more than 14 days after cancellation? If we cancel work permit more than 1 day after expired, will there be any penalty?

TIA.
If you are laid off without any notice period before the last date of employment, you have seven days from the date of termination of employment to cancel your work pass and other related passes. You will be issued a 30-day Short Term Visit Pass (STVP), which will allow you to temporarily stay in Singapore.

I requested for health certificate from local GP for her to bring back to Indonesia. The Indonesia immigration did not look at the health certificate at all. She only need to go for swab test on the next day. Just sharing to members here who intend to send helper back to Indonesia. This information might be useful.

It is advisable for you to clarify personally with a call to MOM.

You need to u’stand the context of detention. If u’re cancelling WP for repatriation, then it shld follow strictly to get her out of Spore within 14 days.

I believe the extension of 14 days are to cater for a situation during this COVID situation where flights may be drastically reduced fr pre-COVID times.

The only other extension I’m familiar with is when I’ve alr applied for a replacement helper, who either hv not arrived or I need a time cross for handover of duties. I’ve only used this twice for my Mynmar girls but nvr had experience with any other helper’s fr other countries.

Once you cancel a WP, you MUST hv a repatriation air-ticket with check-in luggage inclusive. It is our responsibility as employers owise we risks being held to tasks by MOM. So, my suggestion is you check available air flights first before cancellation of WP. That’ll be neatest. Pls also ensure you see her go thro the immigration with the CISCO guards at the departure hall. If she disappears without going in, any local expenses will be borne by employers notwithstanding the forthcoming charges of not having properly repatriated the FDW.

Pls verify facts with MOM. Hope you’ve all your paperwork neatly closed. Take care

Thank you for your reply. There is an option to select the date when we cancel the WP. The date available for selection is only up to 14 days. I have cancelled her WP and purchase the air ticket. The next thing, I find the requirement of travelling back to Indonesia is not clear. Will the airline require additional test from local GP for my helper to be deemed fit for travel? I hope there is a member here whose helper returned back to Indonesia recently can share her experience to me.
