hiActually direct hire is very easy.
Recently I got a fresh maid from Indonesia thru batam maid agency.
No agency fees, maid loan about 4-5months only.
But all application and medical at Singapore side you have to do yourself.
Also very simple. Online application and insurance policy takes few days to a week only.
I save a lot on agency fees, and get to choose and interview the maids myself.

Did you interview her in person , on online ?
I get my helper via direct. Easier. Once I have her details, login to MOM and apply. Dont forget to buy the insurance first.
I remember, i only did below
1. complete the first timer course for hiring helper.
2. buy insurance / medical checkup
3. apply online
4. wait for approval
5. once approved get her in
6. start levy

DoubleQ, may I ask if your helper faced any issues at the Indonesia immigration? I have ppl telling me to buy the helper return ticket to avoid issues. Some even said the officer asked for bribes. Is that true? Thank You!I get my helper via direct. Easier. Once I have her details, login to MOM and apply. Dont forget to buy the insurance first.

Hi,So, based on the info from DoubleQ and Cysts, we get them to fly over with a one way ticket . And they don't have to come via Batam.
Thanks both of you for the info.
I will be looking for a maid next year.
Btw, someone told me that at Jakarta airport, they have to grease some palms . But other airports are ok.
Did the helper already have her own passport? And did she go for medical tests before coming over?Oh ya one more thing, the helper was not tied to any kind of loan in this arrangement and the 500 sgd includes the air ticket.
Can u kindly advise how do I get maid directly from maid supplier in indonesia? Is it safe and any headache with them?Actually direct hire is very easy.
