Renewal of Domestic Helper (Maid) Work Permit in Malaysia

I have been doing my maid permit renewal on my own without going to agent to save on some costs that we need to pay for their service.

My agent has quoted in year 2018 for permit renewal at RM1,369.00 with breakdown as follows:-

Levy RM620

Fomema & Insurance RM331

Service Charge RM318

Special Pass RM100 (in case maid permit expired, do extension to avoid compound)

Note: Insurance is optional but I have covered under Berjaya Sompoo at RM70 per year with details below

Personal Accident - Death RM15k

Permanent Disablement RM15k

Hospital and Surgical Expenses RM3k

Repatriation Expenses RM4.5k

 

 

I have listed below the steps for renewal:
