What is a Transfer Maid in Singapore?

A transfer maid is a foreign domestic worker already working in Singapore who is changing employers. Transfer maids can usually start work within 3–7 days after work permit transfer and medical checks are completed.

Losing a helper suddenly or facing urgent household needs can be stressful. When waiting weeks for a new maid from overseas is not practical, transfer maids offer a fast and reliable solution for families who need immediate household support in Singapore.

Common Questions About Transfer Maids

How long does it take for a transfer maid to start work in Singapore?

Transfer maids can typically start within 3-7 days after you’ve selected them, depending on how quickly the work permit transfer is approved and medical checks are completed.

Can I interview a transfer maid in person before hiring in Singapore?

Yes! You can interview transfer maids in person at our office before making your decision. This allows you to better understand the helper’s experience, communication style, and suitability for your household.

What happens if a transfer maid does not work out after placement?

We’ll arrange counselling support to help address any issues and improve the working relationship. With guidance and time, most helpers settle in and work well. If issues persist, we can arrange our free home service where our trainer visits your home to understand the situation and provide demonstrations based on your needs, or help you find a suitable replacement.

Are transfer maids cheaper than new hires in Singapore?

Not always. While employers may save on airfare and overseas recruitment costs when hiring a transfer maid, transfer maids often command higher salaries due to their Singapore work experience.

There are also other associated expenses to consider, such as food and lodging, as well as costs related to securing new employment and processing the work permit transfer.

The overall cost depends on your household’s needs, urgency, and the type of helper you require. Our consultants can help you compare both options before you decide.
