I want to hire a helper who is currently abroad. How much does it cost and what does it cover?

The breakdown in fees are as follows:

• Service fee (differs according to country, refer to pricing plan here): We handle the entire hiring process with all necessary documentation and queries - this includes the preparation of the employment contract and safety agreement, taking care of the work permit application and issuance as well as purchasing the medical insurance and security bond on your behalf. All documents are signed electronically for your convenience and we also handle the communication and coordination with the Ministry of Manpower and all relevant parties involved, including our abroad agency partners. We also coordinate the documentation and procedures that have to be completed by the helper as required by the corresponding embassies.
