Home leave rules are not just about booking a ticket. Employers and migrant domestic workers (MDWs) should also check Work Permit validity, return-entry requirements, levy waiver eligibility, and any home-country documentation that may be needed before the helper can travel and re-enter Singapore.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1418\">Immigration and departure requirements can vary depending on the helper\u2019s nationality, her home country\u2019s rules, and whether she is returning to the same employer in Singapore. This guide explains the current process for <strong data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1294\">Filipino and Indonesian domestic helpers in Singapore<\/strong>, plus the most important MOM rules employers should know before approving home leave.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1418\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.helperchoice.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/yoopies-cms2fa6f95759-9531-407e-8138-946f39e72897-homeleavesingaporeairportmaidfdw.jpg\" alt=\"Home Leave for Maids (FDWs) in Singapore | HelperChoice\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"182v5jp\" data-start=\"1643\" data-end=\"1682\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Home_Leave_Process_for_Filipino_FDWs\"><\/span>Home Leave Process for Filipino FDWs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1684\" data-end=\"2263\">For Filipino domestic helpers, home leave usually involves Philippine labor-related compliance in addition to Singapore travel arrangements. In practice, this often means checking whether the helper needs contract verification, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.philippine-embassy.org.sg\/labor\/household-service-workers\/registration-oec-issuance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC)<\/a> -related process through DMW, or both, depending on her case. The Philippine Embassy in Singapore currently requires appointments for labor transactions, and its published schedule shows that contract verification and OEC application are handled through the Labor Section by appointment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2265\" data-end=\"2689\">This is one of the biggest updates from older guides: rather than relying on a simple \u201cless than 2 years vs more than 2 years\u201d rule, it is safer to follow the current MWO\/Embassy appointment system and case-specific instructions, because procedures may differ depending on whether the helper is returning to the same employer, renewing documentation, or updating employment records.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1jvgmpi\" data-start=\"2691\" data-end=\"2731\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_employers_and_helpers_should_do\"><\/span>What employers and helpers should do<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2732\" data-end=\"2771\">Before travel, Filipino helpers should:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2772\" data-end=\"3108\">\n<li data-section-id=\"bc1ko1\" data-start=\"2772\" data-end=\"2812\">\n<p data-start=\"2774\" data-end=\"2812\">Check that their passport is valid<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"ecs94p\" data-start=\"2813\" data-end=\"2883\">\n<p data-start=\"2815\" data-end=\"2883\">Make sure their Singapore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.helperchoice.com\/c\/maid\/work-permit\">Work Permit<\/a> remains valid for re-entry<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"ybvt5k\" data-start=\"2884\" data-end=\"2972\">\n<p data-start=\"2886\" data-end=\"2972\">Confirm whether they need contract verification and\/or an OEC or OEC exemption<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"y8bbi8\" data-start=\"2973\" data-end=\"3108\">\n<p data-start=\"2975\" data-end=\"3108\">Book any required MWO\/Embassy appointment early, since labor services are appointment-based<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1oflamf\" data-start=\"3110\" data-end=\"3148\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Filipino_FDWs_Still_Need_an_OEC\"><\/span>Do Filipino FDWs Still Need an OEC?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3150\" data-end=\"3495\">For returning Filipino workers, the key document has traditionally been the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.philippine-embassy.org.sg\/labor\/household-service-workers\/registration-oec-issuance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC)<\/a> . DMW\u2019s current FAQ pages still identify POPS-BaM \/ Balik-Manggagawa as the system used by returning OFWs to secure OEC-related processing and verify employment before going back abroad.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3497\" data-end=\"3824\">If the worker is returning to the same employer and same job site, she may qualify for an OEC exemption through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmonline.ph\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Balik-Manggagawa Online Processing System<\/a>\u00a0instead of going through a full OEC issuance process. That exemption framework remains part of DMW\u2019s official guidance for returning workers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3826\" data-end=\"4118\">If she is not exempt, she may need to proceed with an appointment and processing through the Philippine labor authorities. The Philippine Embassy in Singapore\u2019s published labor schedule still lists OEC application as an appointment-based service.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"ypx9f\" data-start=\"4120\" data-end=\"4148\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_practical_note\"><\/span>Important practical note<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4149\" data-end=\"4495\">Older articles often say a helper will automatically be denied boarding without an OEC. Today, the more accurate advice is this: Filipino helpers should verify their current DMW\/Balik-Manggagawa status before travel, because some returning workers may be exempt while others still need formal processing.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"mm9y5x\" data-start=\"4497\" data-end=\"4538\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Home_Leave_Process_for_Indonesian_FDWs\"><\/span>Home Leave Process for Indonesian FDWs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"4540\" data-end=\"5018\">For Indonesian domestic helpers, the process is generally more straightforward from the Singapore side. The most important Singapore requirement is that the helper must still be able to lawfully return on a valid passport and valid Work Permit status. MOM also encourages helpers to use the digital work pass in the SGWorkPass app for verification, which can reduce the risk of losing or damaging the physical card while travelling.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5020\" data-end=\"5317\">This is another area where older articles may now be outdated. In particular, references to older migration cards or legacy document systems should always be checked against the latest Indonesian government guidance before travel. For practical purposes, employers should make sure the helper has:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"5318\" data-end=\"5598\">\n<li data-section-id=\"ci1kgb\" data-start=\"5318\" data-end=\"5359\">\n<p data-start=\"5320\" data-end=\"5359\">A passport with sufficient validity<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"4otysz\" data-start=\"5360\" data-end=\"5395\">\n<p data-start=\"5362\" data-end=\"5395\">A valid Singapore Work Permit<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"a8ein5\" data-start=\"5396\" data-end=\"5454\">\n<p data-start=\"5398\" data-end=\"5454\">A copy of her itinerary and employer contact details<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1vrr7jv\" data-start=\"5455\" data-end=\"5598\">\n<p data-start=\"5457\" data-end=\"5598\">Any additional documents required by Indonesian authorities or the airline before departure or return<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"e6nlr1\" data-start=\"5600\" data-end=\"5675\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Important_Things_to_Consider_Before_Your_Helper_Goes_on_Home_Leave\"><\/span>Other Important Things to Consider Before Your Helper Goes on Home Leave<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1f9xm5w\" data-start=\"5677\" data-end=\"5728\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Check_Work_Permit_validity_before_she_leaves\"><\/span>1.

Keep a copy of the travel itinerary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"6020\" data-end=\"6301\">MOM specifically advises employers to keep a copy of the helper\u2019s travel ticket or departure itinerary.

Levy continues during overseas leave, but waiver may be available<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"6376\" data-end=\"6740\">A very important MOM update is that employers continue to be charged levy while the helper is on overseas leave. However, you can apply for a levy waiver after she returns, as long as the overseas leave lasted at least 7 consecutive days. The waiver for overseas leave is capped at 60 calendar days per year.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6742\" data-end=\"6941\">If the helper does not return, MOM says the employer should cancel the Work Permit if it is still valid, then apply for waiver under the relevant category.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"14dgv31\" data-start=\"6943\" data-end=\"6997\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_You_may_defer_the_6-monthly_medical_examination\"><\/span>4.

This is useful during travel because it lowers the risk of losing the physical card.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"129cqjx\" data-start=\"7488\" data-end=\"7537\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_If_the_helper_does_not_return_to_Singapore\"><\/span>6.

If the employer is travelling and leaving the helper behind<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"8091\" data-end=\"8401\">This is related but often overlooked. MOM has a separate e-service for employers who are travelling overseas and plan to leave their MDW with a friend, relative, or employment agency while they are away. Employers must notify MOM at least 7 days before the trip.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"114wazr\" data-start=\"8403\" data-end=\"8420\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"8422\" data-end=\"8842\">Home leave in Singapore is manageable when both the employer and helper prepare early. For Singapore compliance, the biggest things to check are Work Permit validity, levy waiver rules, itinerary records, and any needed 6ME deferment. For Filipino helpers, there may also be a separate DMW \/ MWO process for contract verification, OEC, or exemption, depending on the case.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8844\" data-end=\"9098\">Because rules and embassy processes can change, it is always best to verify requirements before booking flights\u2014especially for helpers returning to the Philippines. A little preparation can prevent airport problems, missed flights, or unnecessary delays.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_might_also_be_interested_in\"><\/span><strong>You might also be interested in:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.helperchoice.com\/c\/maid\/work-permit\">Foreign Domestic Worker (FDW) Work Permit<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.helperchoice.com\/c\/maid\/off-day-hours\">FDW Off Day Hours<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.helperchoice.com\/c\/maid\/employment-law\">Maid Employment Law<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.helperchoice.com\/c\/maid\/employers-add-need-domestic-helper\">Ways to Get FDW Employment History and Feedbacks<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.helperchoice.com\/r\/singapore-maids\">Looking for a maid in Singapore?
