Hi guys,

Need help. How do i renew my maid permit/need fomema ?
I get to know that my agent charge me more than 1K.
But in all the charges wont even exceed rm500 if you do it yourself. True ?

Can anybody advise me what are the steps need to renew my maid permit.

Thx in advance.

myeg

Go to Immigration office in Putrajaya. Ask questions at the counter, they will tell you A-Z what procedures and forms to isi. Ask nicely and you will get all the help from them. If act like big boss like some ppl I see there, then better give to agent.

maid under 4 years old service (if not mistaken) need to do fomema

now everything under myeg

just check their website or give a call to clarify

maid permit rm5xx

fomema rm1xx

thank u guys...
roughly had a idea how it goes about.
1 - download form from fomema website
2 - go to fomema pay and select doctor
3 - bring maid n original passport to selected doctor
4 - results out within 1week
5 - go immigresen renew permit with medical result.

save your $$$ n do it yourself.
think you better go Jabatan Imigresen (or website) to check n ask what you need to do.

No need to go to immigration. Just register for MYEG and renew through there. Then go to MYEG center in Putrajaya for first time verification. Then it's done and they will send the permit after 1-2 working days.

MYEG bruh.

dunt need medical check up from fomema ?

I had renewed my maid's permit myself. For the first 3 years, the maid must do medical checkup everytime you renew the permit. Get the form from fomema's office, then, bring your maid for checkup.

After checkup, wait a few days/weeks for result. IINM, you can check via online whether the result is available or not.

After that, you can renew the permit. For the first time, you need to go immigration office to ... i dont remember, but something about enabling to to renew the permit online via myeg. Then, you go back home, renew your permit via myeg. The following year, no need to go to immigration anymore.

summary :
-go to fomema's office and fill up form the get a medical checkup sheet
-bring maid to clinic
-check medical checkup status online.. whether it's already available or not. No need to pickup the result.
The immigration also check the result via online only. So, there's nothing for you to do.
-(repeat above for the first 3 years or 3 times medical checkup. After 3 times. No need to do medical
checkup anymore).
-go to immigration to activate myeg online (for the first time, or everytime you maid renew her passport)
-renew via myeg

What does this mean?


The maid is not tied to the employer.




' We are unable to verify the Employer's NRIC number with the given maid passport number '

Kindly email the following information to maid@myeg.com.my

Name of Employer
NRIC no of Employer
Copy of Old and New passport no. of maid (if applicable)
Photo of the maid's permit

Looks like it - maids are employed directly under an individual. The employers details (IC) is written on the maids employment card.

I received the same error as above even though i entered all the correct details.. Annoying

is it compulsory for FOMEMA for renewal? as per the notification when you login ?

ya its cheaper if you do it yourself.

What makes it mahal is the extras.
Duit kopi (if need to bribe) and the agents fee la. Agent also cari makan

what about more that 23 years ? it is now 24th...

There is a new ruling. Starting this year, 2018, the maid must do FOMEMA medical check every alternate years, FOREVER.
1st year, 3rd year, 5th year, etc until she quits the job.

The fomema process also is now, easier than before. Long time ago, you must present at fomema's office for registration. Nowadays, you just need to register online and pay online.

Oh i see! does it mean, i have to register at FOMEMA online first before proceed to clinic for medical check up ? or can go to clinic directly? thanks for the clarification !!

u must register at fomema first, pay to fomema, then do the medical checkup (no need to pay anymore). Repeat the same thing every 2 years.

i see.. thanks for the info.. the visa is expiring in one month + time.. hopefully no issue...

May I know have u able to renew via myeg? How long it take for myeg to rectify the error?

Did you solve your problem bro?

What’s the cut off to start renewing permit on myeg website?
Will the renewal not go through if fomema isn’t done yet?

FOr my case, my maid passport is new, so, I need to go to immigration to update the new passport only can do permit..

Ur fomema must shown Suitable only can proceed for permit renewal.. else, ur permit won’t approve. Better do it at least 1 month b4 the permit due.

Okay bro thanks for that. No other way to update the new passport information? Only way is to physically go to the immigration?

Yes, employer need to go to update at immigration.
Else, u can get agent to do for u if u can’t go.. coz I also pass it to agent to renew permit for my maid.. as some case only putrajaya can do.. coz putrajaya immigration has Myeg next to it..

What if the employer is an OKU?

Guess the employer can authorize someone to go to immigration to update on behalf with the his authorization letter.. or save the hassle, get agent to do for u..just pay extra RM200+ service fee to agent

Okay man thanks.
Any idea about how to get info about changing the employer's name to his son?

I completed FOMEMA checking for my maid and FOMEMA displayed below.

Status as at 25/06/18
Suitable, please proceed to immigration. Thank you.


but when I try to renew in myeg, it show below.

Permit record does not exists. Please reconfirm the Maid's passport number.

Thank you for using MyEG services. If you have any other queries, please email to maid@myeg.com.my.


I

Email them at that address, they are rather efficient in replying.

ur maid just renew passport? it is new passport, am I right?

If yes, u need to go to Putrajaya Immigration to update the new passport into the system n go to next door, myeg office to renew permit.

Hi,
My maid is in Seremban looking after my dad. I am staying in Putra Heights. So, do I have to go Putrajaya to renew my maid's permit after having done Fomema? Or can I do it in Seremban? Thanks.

U can do it online via myeg

It is only her second year. Still can do online?

Yes, u just need to make sure the fomema is pass then can renew permit online via myeg. Myeg will get despatch to deliver the permit to employer, the maid passport must be available to let myeg staff to stick on it when they come to u. It must send to employer, else employer need to authorise someone if employer not at home.

Is your maid from Philippines or Indonesia? My maid is from Philippines. Her initial 2 year contract is expiring next month and I have already completed the procedures to renew her Malaysian work permit. I have agreed to let her go back for one month. Did you allow your maid to go back for holiday at the end of her initial contract?

I would like to know if I have to do any other procedures before she goes back for a one month break? The Philippines embassy website is not very clear. There is a webpage referring to a POEA employment contract, insurance, notarized affidavit of undertaking, etc. However, it is not clear whether these are needed in my situation. I am concerned that my maid may have trouble clearing immigration in Manila.

my maid jus finish 2nd year...
she doesnt wanna continue anymore...
she going back to look after ill mother...

For registering Fomema, what should I select for employer type ? Individual Employers or Maid Online Employers? My one is existing maid, fourth year to fifth year now.

I try register..ended up not sure which to choose
So...i go to Fomema Kg attap.
Do Manually..

Rm190 is the cost....but PB to PB transfer or CIMB Click or
Kiriman Wang....So go to Pos Office DayaBumi but parked at Central Market..
Then fill the form and choose your clinic from The list show from the Computer..
You go use the computer and search which clinic.

Then submit....that all.

I choose Maid Online

So ur maid successful to do medical examination?

Yes

Hi there. To update passport at putrajaya, can we update the maid new passport at kelana Jaya?

Also what do I need to bring other than the maids passport?
Do I need to bring her along and other documents?

Does it got to be putrajaya?

Can still renew maid permit via myeg?. Or just go direct to immigration?.

Hey, I'm in the same situation. So just renew her permit before she goes back to Philippines then can d?

No, cannot. After trying to DIY, the embassy official told me flat out that must go through an agent. Your maid will need a permission letter from the embassy and something done in their overseas worker system. The embassy will only accept application through one of the "authorised agents". IMHO, it is likely a little scam that they have going on with the local agents. If you don't do this step, then your maid may have issues when she tries to leave Philippines to return to work in Malaysia.

didn't the government announce in budget 2 years ago that we can directly hire maids without going through agents? so that never happened huh?

Hey okyjace, thanks for responding. After some digging, I actually found some mentions on the Philippines embassy website. Must work here 5 years first I think.

This is my experience recently.

Malaysia side to get Malaysia work visa can be done without agent. However, the maid still needs to show some approvals from the Philippine side before the maid is allowed to leave their country. Such approvals from Philippine side cannot be obtained directly without going through agent. So if the maid agrees to stay on without home visit, then no problem. Can get Malaysia work visa renewed directly and immigration will not catch her as she will be here with a proper valid visa.

Last year renewed my maid permit for her 9th year. I put it in writing so I don't forget about it

You can refer here

Steps to Renew Maid Permit

Awesome !!! Thank you for sharing

I'm doing my second year renewal, your blog provided me a good head start.

For maid ikad, I was told by Imigresen that they no longer issue ikad. My maid 1st year work permit was approved in Oct 2018.

Do you have any idea how long does it take to renew maid's indo passport and does Majikan need to present together with the maid?

Document down my maid 2nd year Pas Lawatan Kerja Sementara (PLKS) renewal processes for future reference.

Part 1 : Fomema
1) Check maid's passport expiry date. Passport expiry date must be after the new PLKS expiry date.
2) if passport expiry date is before the new PLKS expiry date and you are running short of time, you can proceed with Fomema medical exam first and update the new passport details at Fomema once new passport done.
3) Login to Fomema with your employer code and password.
4) Click Start and highlight the maid name in the worker's list > Type in Description eg Maid 2nd yr renewal > click next step.
5) Highlight maid's name > Search and select your prefered Clinic > click continue registration.
6) Select payment method > Select prefered bank > click continue registration
7) Click YES to submission confirmation > Click to pay
8) Follow FPX instruction to pay.
9) Print out the tax invoice and print out medical examination form by clicking on ' Trans ID'
10) Bring the maid to the clinic.

Part 2 : Passport renewal.
1) Make sure that your maid's salary must be min RM1100 or more.
2) Make sure that your main is entitled to 1 weekly off day or RM169/mth in lieu of off days.
3) If the above min pay and off days requirements are not met, the maid might have problem getting her passport renewed.
4) Go to Indonesian embassy before 5am coz q number starts giving out around 5.30am.
5) 5 years passport validity cost RM100.
6) Within a week, the new passport will be mailed to the POS office nearest to employer's address.
7) Your maid can then collect the passport at the POS office with the receipt given during renewal application.

Part 3 : MyEg
1) Register account at MyEg portal.
2) Fill up the online form and pay RM610 online.
3) You have two delivery options for PLKS sticker I.e. delivered to home or self collection at MyEg KL.
4) Turnaround time about 1 to 2 weeks.
5) You can also apply and pay the PLKS at any MyEg branches and opt for deliver to home or self collect at your local MyEg branch.

now easy only.. save alot too

Hi All,

I am having issue here with my agency. my maid is new (well not so new) we paid all the fees in full when we hired the maid through this agency. But it has been 1 year since she started (maid is really good btw), agency still did not give me her passport & visa. She went for fomema twice already, now agency telling me her passport expiring need to renew first, but keep on delaying this and that. everyday there's a new excuse. I am so stressed, no idea what to do, so hard to travel since I only have her passport copy.

Mind to share which agency is this?

Supposingly they need to give u passport when they send the maid to u.. ur maid got valid permit?

I'm afraid you got conned. Try tell them you need to bring the maid for travelling, ask them to hand over the passport. If they refuse, I think they already songlap the money and didnt apply anything for your maid.

I wonder how the maid proceed for Fomema too.. normally u need passport only can do fomema

Since the passport still hold by the agency, I think the agency bring the passport and maid there and do it. Since the doctor wont check the permit. They need the passport for the maid personal information only.

Any good agency to introduce for visa application?

Yes, told them i need to travel, which was true. yet they cant delivered. endup i had to leave my maid at my inlaws.

She arrived first, then only they start preparing her visa, because Indonesian agency wants her to go out fast, apparently she is very good, and alot of other agency wants(so they tell lah, I dunno the real reason, but she is good). Only when shes here, we started the visa process, i signed the papers for permit & visa, and she did went to FOMEMA, i asked my maid, what happened during the checkup she said it was done correctly and her details were there.

Just the Visa part, I only have her photocopied passport. Apparently the issue is, her passport is expiring and something wrong with the age or something. she needs to go to embassy to renew her passport, too many people this and that. i have been bugging the agency everyday its crazy.

Did they give you her photocopied working permit as well? If yes then the reason they dont give it to you is beyond me. Because usually these agencies will care less about the maid after everything done and they got their money. If no, most probably they didnt apply.

Nopes, only the photocopied passport. Visa & permit "is still in progress" crazy right after a year!

It's pretty obvious that agency can't give you the passport, something has gone wrong already. You should take proactive action now to lodge a lost passport report and go embassy to make a new passport before the maid's PLKS expire. Only by going thru this process, you will get to know why agency can't give you the passport.
Before lodging the report, inform the agent fist and see what they have to say.

Now I suspect your maid is just a PATI.

I dont even know when her PLKS will expire. anyway, good suggestion.

BTW anyone recently brought their maid to embassy to renew passport? does it take that long. Cause supposedly the agency take her yesterday to renew, then suddenly cancelled saying too many people, even the one went earlier cant get the number, which is pure excuses lah. but i just wonder is it really that much people and super long queue.

Read my post #57, Ive just renewed mine yesterday. Done before noon time.
There isn't any passport, if there is, agency would rather give it to employer and wouldn't bother to give passport renewal service.
I suspect agency songlap all your agency fee and gave you a PATI without proper documentation.

No visa and permit means no PLKS. Means she is a PATI, now what you can do is lodge police report. Just say for replacement of lost passport at embassy. The police wont ask much but better make a story just in case. After that, get a reliable agency to do it for you or you can do it yourself.

Hi, just wondering if we can still renew our maid working permit at putrajaya Imigresen? I am always on the move so using myeg is not convenient for me. Has anyone renew maid working permit at putrajaya Imigresen recently? It can be done within one day right?

You can apply PLKS online at MyEg portal.
Now all PLKS are process by MyEg. But I was told you still can apply PLKS at imigresen but you must first go to MyEg to inform them that you want to apply PLKS at Imigresen.

Thanks for the info

hi, whats the penalty for late renewing maid permit ?
