How much will I have to pay for a foreign maid? Rates have been creeping up in the past few years.

Recent newspaper reports suggest that prospective employers can now expect to pay well over RM10,000 upfront. Even with that hefty price tag, you may still find yourself having to wait several months for your maid. The total sum depends largely on your maid's country of origin

fees for the local recruitment agency and the agency in the maid's country of origin. the maid's salary for the first three to six months. processing fees and charges for all government levies and duties in Malaysia and her country of origin. the maid's work permit and levy for the first year; medical insurance.

Note that regulations differ in each country, and you should be clear about the papers and permits needed by authorities in Malaysia and your maid's country of origin before you decide to go it alone. For example, the Philippines Embassy here, which issues the POEA (Philippines Overseas Employment Administration) permit, will only deal with agents registered with them.
