Renewing your Migrant Domestic Worker's (MDW) Work Permit in Singapore is a crucial responsibility for employers. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) mandates that employers renew their MDW's Work Permit before it expires to ensure legal employment. At gentleHelp, we specialize in providing a seamless renewal process, handling all necessary steps to give you peace of mind.

When to Renew

MOM typically sends a renewal letter about 8 weeks before the Work Permit expires. Upon receiving this letter, you can proceed to renew the Work Permit online. It's advisable to renew promptly to avoid any penalties or legal issues. ‍

Key Requirements for Renewal

Before initiating the renewal process, ensure the following:

• Medical Examination: Confirm if your MDW needs a medical examination by referring to page 2 of the renewal notification letter. If required, schedule and complete the examination promptly.
• Security Bond: For non-Malaysian MDWs, obtain a new security bond. Coordinate with your bank or insurance company to send the new security bond details to MOM, which may take up to 3 working days.
• Insurance Coverage: Extend or purchase new personal accident and medical insurance policies for your MDW. Ensure these are in place before proceeding with the renewal.

Steps for Work Permit Renewal

1. Prepare Necessary Documents: Gather all required documents, including the MDW's updated passport details and medical examination form (if applicable).
2. Renew Online: Log in to MOM's FDW eService to submit the renewal application.
3. Pay the Renewal Fee: A renewal fee of $35 applies per Work Permit.
4. Await Approval: Upon approval, print the new Work Permit and ensure your MDW carries it at all times.
