How much is the application fee for MOM?
The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) application fee is a mandatory government charge incurred during the hiring process of a Foreign Domestic Worker (FDW) in Singapore. As of current regulations, the standard MOM application fee is $35, and an additional $35 is required for e-issuance of the Work Permit, totaling $70. This fee is separate from agency service charges and must be paid for every new or transferred maid application.
At Kare Employment, we ensure full transparency in all third-party costs, including MOM fees, so our clients are never caught off guard. We handle the entire submission and issuance process professionally, helping you hire your domestic helper smoothly and quickly.
How much is the security bond for FDW?
In Singapore, employers are required by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to furnish a $5,000 security bond for each non-Malaysian Foreign Domestic Worker (FDW) they employ. This bond acts as a financial guarantee to ensure that employers adhere to the conditions of the Work Permit and the employment regulations set by MOM.

The security bond serves multiple purposes, including:
-
Ensuring timely salary payments: Employers must pay their FDWs on time.
-
Providing acceptable accommodation: FDWs should be housed in suitable living conditions.
-
Covering repatriation costs: In cases where the FDW's Work Permit is revoked or expires, the employer is responsible for the cost of sending her home.
-
Preventing illegal deployment: FDWs should only perform domestic duties at the employer's registered address.Ministry of Manpower SingaporeMinistry of Manpower Singapore
It's important to note that Malaysian FDWs are exempted from this security bond requirement.
At Kare Employment, we prioritize transparency and compliance. We guide our clients through the process of securing the necessary bonds and insurance, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience when hiring a domestic helper.

When to buy maid insurance?
Maid insurance is a mandatory requirement when hiring a Foreign Domestic Worker (FDW) in Singapore. Employers must purchase maid insurance before the helper’s Work Permit can be approved or issued by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). This insurance typically includes personal accident coverage, hospitalisation, and a $5,000 security bond (unless waived by insurers under certain conditions).
When should you buy it?
➡️ For new FDW hires: Insurance should be purchased immediately after selecting a helper, before MOM application submission.
➡️ For transfer helpers: Buy insurance before the issuance of the new Work Permit.
➡️ For renewals: Purchase a new insurance plan before the current one expires, at least 2–3 weeks in advance to avoid processing delays.
At Kare Employment, we help you arrange maid insurance packages that are MOM-compliant, affordable, and tailored to your needs. We work with trusted insurers and ensure that your application process is smooth from start to finish—so you don’t have to worry about missing any key steps.
