MAID Passport and Visa/Permit Renewal

Do you come across with scenario where you unable to renew maid permit due to maid’s passport expiry date less than 1 year?

I hope my experience below can help you to go through end to end process.

I did some research and the most recent example was from Mazlyn’s Blog. Since TRX construction is nearby Indonesia embassy and the location is along Jalan Tun Razak, I do expect heavy traffic jammed and limited parking space. Hence I bought Malaysian Insurance a day earlier and do photocopy of all required documents in advance.

On day one, I use car as maid need to be presence during the passport renewal. I parked my car just beside Indonesian embassy parking space. I arrived at about 7:15AM. At about 9:00AM the parking was closed and fully occupied. I paid RM15 (maximum per day) since the process took until 2:45PM.

Only maid was allowed to enter gate 1 and queue to get number. Employer was only allowed to enter after 9:00AM through gate 2. Employer then go straight to counter 30, 31 or 32 and request for 2 copies of working contract. Fill in all details and search for maid from passport renewal area. Take her to working contract counter to have interview while waiting for number to be called for passport renewal.

Once completed, employer need to come after 3 working days to collect new passport and working contract. Maid presence is not required.

Later proceed to Immigration office to have them updated maid’s new passport in the system. Permit/visa renewal still need to be done separately online through MyEG website. Before submit visa renewal, please verify whether FOMEMA medical examination is required or not.
