Hi all,
I am planning to re-employ a maid that used to work for me a few yrs back. I would like to find out how to go about it. Do I still have to go through maid agency to settle for me or otherwise?
Thanks in advance.. :D

Hi, I did it before, last year - applying myself, not through an agent.

You can log on to MOM website for Domestic Helper application and start from there - step by step.

Good luck and Cheers!

I intend to rehire my previous maid if this present one does not want to renew her contract.
I will pay for her airfare, medical checkups, insurance and the necessary that needs to be done for the Singapore side. However, I expect her to pay for her passport.

I only let her pay for all the costs involved - much lesser than the agent's loan. Something like $50 off every month until all costs are covered.

Is it troublesome?
My sis is also considering my maid's sister.
