Hi


Indeed agency are really not responsible and professional in providing service that we paid them for. They are just after your $$$ and all else comes later, if not at all.

That is why I get my maid on my own and have done all the paperwork and leg work by myself.

However if you are doing what I am doing, you may still need to engage a "representative licensed agency" accredited by the Philippine Embassy in SIN to handle some administrative stuff which Employer do.

My Filipino maid arrived last Friday and I have paid less than $1800 in all.

Hi


Have any successfully hired a foreign domestic workers (Filipino) without going through agency?

I am currently doing so, and is in the middle of it. Would appreciate if anyone could help.

SINGAPORE SIDE
--Application process is straight-forward. All information and procedure is listed here;

PHILIPPINE SIDE
what do i have to do, any idea any one?

OR

Can we still do direct hiring these days? or its mandatory to use Agents?

Hi


Did you successfully hired you FDW on your own?

I am also doing it on my own, and is in the middle of it. The application process on SIN side is straight forward but am still exploring the application on the Philippine side on getting the Oversea Employment certificate for my maid.

Have you any idea? or anyone who have direct hire before?
