Apply for a work permit in Singapore


Applying for a work permit is not difficult. It can be done online on the website of the Ministry of Manpower of Singapore.


Do it yourself


We recommend you do the application yourself by following these two steps:

  1. To make the process easy for you, we have created a summary of all the information that you need for the application. You can download and/or print that sheet by pressing the “Apply for Work Permit” button in the contract section of your profile page. This will require you to login/register (for free).

  2. Visit the Ministry of Manpower website and follow the steps to apply for a work permit for a foreign domestic helper.

Let an agent do it


If you prefer, you can also ask an agent to do the application for you (at a cost). In that case, press the “Document Support” button in the contract section of your profile page. This will require you to login/register (for free).
