Your helper's work permit must be renewed before it expires, together with her medical insurance and security bond. Suria handles the whole renewal for you: we check what is due, arrange the insurance and bond, and submit the renewal to MOM, so your helper can keep working without a gap.
We renew work permits for helpers hired through Suria and for helpers who came through another agency or by direct hire.
What our renewal service covers
- Checking the permit expiry date, her passport validity and any unpaid levy
- Checking that her six-monthly medical examination (6ME) is up to date
- Renewing her compulsory medical and personal accident insurance
- Extending the $5,000 security bond guarantee for the new permit period
- Submitting the renewal to MOM and paying the MOM renewal fee on your behalf
- Sending you the renewed work permit details once MOM approves it
How the renewal works, step by step
- WhatsApp us a photo of the renewal notice from MOM, or her work permit card
- We tell you what is due: insurance, bond, 6ME and fees
- You confirm, and we arrange the insurance and security bond
- We submit the renewal to MOM
- MOM approves it and we send you the new permit details
Before you renew: what to check
- Her passport must be valid for long enough to cover the new permit period; renew the passport first if needed
- All MOM levy payments must be up to date
- Her latest six-monthly medical examination must be done
- Start before the permit expires: an expired permit means your helper cannot keep working
Doing it yourself or through Suria
Employers can renew a work permit themselves online with MOM using Singpass. It means buying the insurance and security bond separately and checking every condition yourself. If you would rather not, we do all of it in one step and tell you exactly what each item costs before we start.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to renew a maid work permit?
MOM charges a $35 renewal fee. You also pay for her new medical and personal accident insurance and the security bond guarantee for the new period. WhatsApp us and we will quote the full amount before we start.
When should I renew my helper's work permit?
Start as soon as you receive MOM's renewal notice, and before the permit expires. Leave time to renew her passport first if it is close to expiry.
Can Suria renew the permit if my helper came from another agency?
Yes. We renew work permits for helpers hired through any agency, and for direct-hire helpers.
What do I need to send you?
A photo of the MOM renewal notice or her work permit card, her passport details, and your contact details. We will tell you if anything else is needed.
Do I need to renew the insurance and security bond too?
Yes. The insurance and the security bond must cover the new permit period. We arrange both as part of the renewal.
