Sometimes, it takes a little bit of luck to locate the ideal maid for your family. So, when employers found a maid of the perfect match, they would like to keep the maid on for as long as possible.<\/p>\n

Every two years, a maid\u2019s WP must be renewed by the employer, otherwise they will bear the risk of levy penalties and overstaying fines. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) usually will send the employer a letter of renewal about eight weeks before the WP expired. You can renew the WP online after receiving the letter of renewal. You can also ask for an extension if you cannot renew the WP on time. You must renew the WP for your maid before she departs Singapore if she is travelling before the expiry date.<\/p>\n
You must apply insurance package for your maid, including Medical Insurance, Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) and security bond before the renewal of your maid\u2019s Work Permit.<\/p>\n

Before renewing the WP, you need to prepare the documents and information as below:<\/p>\n

Step 1: Purchase a new maid insurance with a coverage of medical plan and personal accident plan that meet the minimum requirements of MOM. The issuance date of the insurance must match the date of the WP. Make sure every detail you put in is accurate so that the needed information for security bond can be issued smoothly.<\/p>\n
Step 2: A security bond of $5,000 must be purchased for non-Malaysian maids. It can be bought together with the insurance and the insurer will send the details to MOM. Before renewal of WP, keep a scanned copy of the Security Bond Transmission Number as legitimacy guarantee.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Make a new employment contract. You can make any adjustment to your employment contract if there is a need. Both parties must agree on the specifics of the contract. It will also enhance the communication and understanding between the maid and the employer.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Verify that all required information and documents are accurate. Make sure that none of the documents, especially her passport, are about to expire before proceed with the renewal. The employer should take the maid to the embassy to renew their passport if it is going to expired in a few months.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Submit all the documents and application forms to MOM online and pay $35 of renewal fee with a Master Card, debit card or VISA.<\/p>\n

Print the Temporary Work Permit (TWP) given by MOM after the Work Permit has been renewed. The old card must be returned according to the instructions in the notification letter. Your maid may continue to use the existing card if it\u2019s indicated in the TWP. You would be charged $60 to replace the card if you returned it when you do not need to.<\/p>\n
The procedure for renewing your maid\u2019s WP can be complicated and time-consuming. Leave the paperwork to a professional and trustworthy employment agency. To avoid any additional fees, renew your maid\u2019s WP weeks before it expires. If your maid is returning to her hometown, make sure her passport is still valid and renew her WP before she departs so that she will have a smooth entry to Singapore when she is back.<\/p>\n
