I heard that a Surat Cuti is needed? If yes, any example? Thank you. <strong>Hello Mike, as I mentioned to the poster before you, my maid is going back for a holiday too. The agent says that upon returning, the maid will have to show the following documents 1. Passport 2. Work Permit 3. Insurance 4. Letter from Employer 5. KTKLN Card . The KTKLN stands for Kartu Tenaga Kerja Luar Negeri can only be applied by your indonesian maid in Indonesia. It cannot be applied here. So you must give specific instructions to your maid on how to apply for the card back home. Best to check with your agent. My agent says that the application can be done at the airport in Indonesia. I saw a post on the addresses where the application for the KTKLN can be made in <a href="http://pjtkidantki.wordpress.com/2011/05/15/persyaratan-mendapatkan-ktkln-dan-alamat-kantor-bp3tki/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">this blog post</a> but I do not know how accurate it is since the post is dated in 2011. As for the letter, I saw a sample in <a href="http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1230196/all" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">this forum</a> which I intend to use. I hope that helps Mike. If your maid goes back before mine, perhaps you'd like to help by coming back to tell me about your procedure. ;) Hi there, when an Indonesian maid want to go back for a holiday, any procedures need to do?

Her permit ends this 25 July 2012 Her passport expires 20 July 2015. She plans to return to indonesia on 10 July 2012. She want to come back to malaysia 10 Sept 2012. Can anyone clarify the following: 1. Do I need to renew her work-permit at Malaysian Immigration for the 3rd year - at least 3 months BEFORE her departure? 2. Do I need to get a SURAT CUTI endorsed by the Indonesian embassy so that she does not get a levy upon her return? Thanks. Much appreciated. <strong>Hello Lilyana, I am also in the process of sending my maid of 4 years back for a holiday. I am not sure whether a SURAT CUTI is required but I found out from my agent that returning maids will now have to apply for a foreign worker card (KTKLN) which stands for Kartu Tenaga Kerja Luar Negeri. They will have to apply for this card back home in Indonesia, not from the immgigration offices but in designated places in Indonesia. Perhaps you would like to clarify this with your agent. I see that your maid's permit date will extend beyond her passport date if you were to extend her permit, so you will have to get her passport done first before you apply for the work permit. Anyway, I am still in the process of gathering information before I proceed. It is best that you check with your agent. It would be good if you could come back and share with us what happens. :)</strong> My Indonesian helper has decided to continue work after her 2 year contract and I am agreeing that she takes 2 months leave back to indonesia before restarting work.

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.
