For maid, there is no time limit. But for other worker, there's a max duration of 10 years. That’s a false information. For maid, there is no time limit.

Is it true she has to go back to indonesia for 6 months before applying for work permit starting from zero again? That means we allow maids to stay up to maximum of 10 years only, right? anybody has this experience? appreciate feedback. Ana hi,

Go to Block G, 3rd floor, counter #1. Get your number, wait for the queue. Then submit passport and she will ask you to pay at counter Juru Wang. No need number, just queue. Then go back to counter #1, submit passport and again wait for them to print and put on the sticker. When they call your name, collect and inspect. That's all. Simple and easy. <strong>Hi Lawrence.

She requested for a short holiday back to her hometown in April 2011 and would be returning to Malaysian after her 10 days break. However, I learnt from my agent that Indonesia immigration may not allow Indonesia maid return to Malaysia once they leave the country even though holding a valid work permit. Is any government authority can I validate the info? Or any document required to ensure she can return with no hassle? I would appreciate if you could share your experience with me. <strong>I think she needs a "surat cuti". I am not sure about the procedures though. However, having said that, fyi my sister's maid just came back last week from Indonesia after a 2 weeks holiday to renew her contract after 2 years with no problems or hassle. So, I think you need to check either with your agent again or call up the Indon immigration itself to check to get a more accurate information.</strong> I employ an Indonesia maid since 2009.

I really appreciate all the tips given. I am also going to renew my maid's 3rd year permit. I have a question here.... My maid is going back for holiday after I renew her permit which is expiring on 11/05/11, so do i need to get a Surat Cuti or any other docs so as to ease her return from Indon? And if I need the docs, where and how can I obtain it? Another question is do I really need to increase her salary to Rm600 as per signed at the Indon embassy as mentioned earlier? Thank you so much again. <strong>I think you need the surat cuti but I am not sure about other documents. As for increasing the salary, well, what you signed is a contract isn't it so I think you are bound by it. However, I am no authority on this subject. It would be best to ask around. :)</strong> Hello, thank you so much for sharing here. I really appreciate all the tips given. I am also going to renew my maid’s 3rd year permit.
