When Do I Apply For My Maid’s Home Leave Application?
A short break for your domestic helper to visit her family and settle home matters is known as “Home Leave.” Typically, this leave is 2 weeks (14 days) for each completed contract in Singapore.
Here’s a guide to help you navigate the process:
Ensure Passport Validity
Make sure your helper has a valid passport for her Home Leave. Check the expiration date and renew if necessary.
Immigration Requirements
Verify the home country’s immigration requirements by consulting her country’s Embassy in Singapore. This ensures compliance with all regulations.
Home Leave Application
Submit the home leave application with her country’s Embassy in Singapore. We can assist in ensuring all documents are correctly prepared and submitted.
Travel Documentation
Always keep a copy of her travel tickets for her Home Leave (both to and from Singapore). This is crucial for record-keeping and any necessary follow-ups.
Re-Entry Preparation
Ensure your helper carries her Work Permit card and passport. These documents are essential for her re-entry into Singapore after her Home Leave.
Additional Considerations
During the Home Leave period, you, as the employer, can apply for a levy waiver. Additionally, you may defer her 6-monthly medical examination if required.
