Domestic Worker’s New Working Permit No Longer Show Employer Name and Address
From 24 Aug onwards, all domestic workers will be getting a new layout for their work permits issued by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) which will no longer show their employer’s name or address. And the employer’s name and address will only appear if you scan the QR code in this new permit system.
This also means that if a domestic worker ends up changing residences when their employers move, they no longer need to get a new work permit issued.
New work permit card costs $35
If you would like to get this new work permit for your domestic worker, do note that you will have to bear the replacement fees. This fee also applies the same for a 2-year work permit for foreign domestic workers. While the new version of the foreign domestic workers’ work permit is more convenient and more environmentally friendly too.
