The Hiring Process
Deployment of New/Transfer Migrant Domestic Workers (MDW)
Farepro Services has Migrant Domestic Workers (MDWs) from the Philippines & Indonesia. Some of these MDWs have prior experience in Singapore/Abroad previously. Do find out from our consultants if you have any preference for the MDWs working experience.
Typical deployment time:
-
- New MDWs: around 1-3 months for straightforward cases
- Transfer MDWs: can be deployed relatively fast and may take 4-5 working days.
- Please note that deployment time is subjective based on government regulation compliances.

Security Bond Medical and Personal Accident Insurance Coverage
MOM regulations require you to buy a Security Bond for your MDW before she arrives in Singapore. This is a binding pledge to pay the government in the event your MDW breaks the work permit conditions.
Both Medical and Personal Accident Insurance for your MDW is necessary as part of your medical obligations during the helper’s employment in your household.
Works with one of the major insurance providers in Singapore and will assist you in purchasing the necessary coverage.
Medical Check-up
As part of our services, we will ensure that all MDWs go for their medical examination to screen for infectious diseases and pregnancies. The medical examination must be performed by a Singapore-registered medical professional. This happens when they arrive and every six months.
Employers have to bear the costs for the medical examination, and any medical expenses arising from the screening. If you want more details on the health of your MDW, you may send her for a more thorough medical examination.
