A Transfer Maid refers to a Foreign Domestic Worker (FDW) who is currently residing and working in Singapore and is looking to transfer to a new employer. unlike new helpers who are flown in from overseas, transfer maids hold valid work permits and are seeking a change of employment—often due to the completion of their contract or other mutual agreements with their current employer.

We will coordinate with the helper and their current employer (if applicable) to schedule an interview. We highly recommend a face-to-face interview at our agency, or a video call if preferred, to ensure the right fit.
Confirmation & Documentation
Once you have selected a helper, we will proceed with the service agreement and employment contract. We will require your details (via Singpass) to submit the Work Permit application to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).

Once MOM grants the In-Principle Approval (IPA), we coordinate the official transfer date. Your new helper can then legally and smoothly start working for your family.

We ensure the helper completes her 6-monthly medical examination (if due). Once all formalities are cleared and the work permit is issued, we arrange for the official handover and deployment to your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You’ve Been
Wondering About Transfer Helpers
Can I hire a transfer maid whose Work Permit is expired?
No. A helper must have a valid Work Permit to be transferred. An agency can help you check the status. If her permit is cancelled, she will usually have to return to her home country first.
How many times can a maid transfer in Singapore?
There is no official MOM limit on the number of transfers. But, too many transfers in a short time can be a red flag. It may suggest she has trouble settling in. It is always good to ask why she transferred from previous jobs.
Why do maids transfer?
There are many positive reasons! The most common include the previous employer moving overseas, the children growing up, or simply completing a contract and wanting a new environment.
Does the new employer have to pay for the transfer?
Yes, the new employer is responsible for the costs. This includes the MOM application fees, the new insurance and security bond, and any agency fees.
What is a "Letter of Consent" for a transfer maid?
This is a written, signed letter from the maid’s current employer. It must state that they agree to transfer her to a new employer. MOM requires this letter, and an agency will help you get this document.
What happens if I hire a transfer maid and it doesn't work out?
Reputable agencies, including 114 Maids, provide a replacement period. If things don’t work out within a set time for reasons covered in your agreement, we will help you find a new helper.
