Hi all,


Currently my maid is going to be due in June 2010 and she will be extending for another 2 years. We intend to let her go on 2 weeks of home leave before she continues working again.

I would like to check if i should renew her passport now or after she comes back to Singapore, the expiry date is 2 June 2011.
We intend to let her go back in late May.

Will she have any problems coming back to Singapore?

Thanks

Please make sure she has some deposit in terms of cash if you let her go on home leave and only renew her passport and work permit on her return.

My second maid asked me to renew her passport and she did not leave any deposit with me. She left for home leave of 1 month. On the day she was to return, she sms me and said she would not be coming back. Luckily i did not renew her passport and work permit as it requires one to buy the insurance as well when applying for the work permit.
So i lost on time, the amount paid for the return air ticket and the emotional stress, not to say the inconvenience of taking extra leave to wait for the new maid.
After that, subsequent maid if want to go on home leave means go back for good. If want to extend work permit, then cannot go on home leave.

So if i let my maid to go home and come back on the 28May will she have any problem entering Singapore as her WP expires on the 2June

I had an agency to help me renew my maid's passport 2 years back which costs me $450, I was pretty naive back then. (maid still with me). A friend took the maid personally & renew it at the Indonesian Embassy. BTW, please do not take passport photo before hand (they might reject), the Embassy will have their own standard photographer over there. Everything in I think was less than $200. I do agree that you need to keep aside 1 to 1 months' of pay for safekeeping.

Thanks

I do keep aside $500 of her pay for safekeeping.
I had checked out the fees for making passport. Go to embassy personally to renew passport will be $35, take photo $10, renew work permit online will be $10.
Agents quote me $400 for passport and $40 for WP.
