| | | You can bring in foreign domestic workers either on your own or by going through an agency. All applications have to be submitted to the Work Pass Division (WPD) under the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). In general, employers cannot apply for a Work Permit (WP) for a foreigner who is on a social visit such as on holiday or short term visit to Singapore. If you are applying for a WP for a foreign domestic worker who has never worked in Singapore before, she must be 23 years of age or above and below 50 years old at the time of the application. Also, she must have received a minimum of 8 years of formal education. |
