  3. How Much is Maid Agency Fee?

Maid Agency Fees Singapore 2020

Last updated on Oct 9, 2020

Fees tend to vary from one Agency to another. Many pay between S$1,000 ~ S$1,500 for the Maid Agency Fee in a survey of 18 Maid Agencies in Singapore in March 2020.

Amid Covid-19 pandemic, you may need to pay more depending on the types of FDWs you are hiring. For example, the demand for Transfer Maids has pushed up the Agency Fees by 20-30 percent when Transfer Maids are in short supply. There may also be additional paperwork to bring in the New Maids or Ex Singapore from overseas.

A cheaper fee does not necessarily mean it offers all-you-need solution, and a higher fee does not mean you are being overly priced. If you found a cheaper package, the agency will probably find another way to make up the fees or exclude some services.

4 Factors That Affect Maid Agency Fees

  1. Maid Nationality: Each foreign embassy has different legal documents & administrative procedures.
  2. Maid Type: Whether they are Transfer maid, Ex Singapore or New maid, each is processed differently against different stakeholders and timeline.
  3. Third Party Costs: Some Agencies may already include other costs in the agency fees like "All-in package" e.g, Work permit, SIP, Maid Insurance, Pre-medical checks, etc.
  4. Additional Services: Depending on the services you ask from the Agency. Usually agency fees include the maid replacement cost and post deployment services. If you do not require additional services, it is important to let the agency know so that the agency fee may be lowered.
