The timeline typically ranges from three to six weeks, assuming the application is submitted correctly. However, the duration may vary depending on the maid’s country of origin. Once you’ve selected your helper, we will begin processing her application (IPA). If her documents, such as her passport, are ready, we can obtain approval for her work permit application in less than a week. After the work permit is approved, we aim to have your maid arrive within approximately two to four weeks. Please keep in mind that the exact arrival date depends on the availability of the Entry Approval issued by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). If additional document processing is required due to her country’s regulations, it may take one to two months for her to arrive. Again, the arrival date will depend on the availability of the Entry Approval from MOM. Before she can officially start working, she will need to undergo a medical check-up and may have to complete the Settling In Programme, which is mandatory for all first-time helpers in Singapore. Additionally, she must pass her medical examination and have her work permit issued within 14 days of arriving in Singapore.
