A first-time FDW must be 23 years old or above and below 50 years old at the time of the work permit application. For FDW who has previously worked in Singapore, her age must be 18 or above and below 50 years old. The FDW is allowed to work in Singapore up to 60 years old provided she is medically fit for employment. No, I am afraid you can't employ Vietnamese FDW to work in Singapore as Vietnam is not one of the approved sources for the FDW Scheme.

The penalty is a fine of equivalent to between two and four years of the FDW levy, or imprisonment up to one year or both. For the second and subsequent convictions the employer will face a mandatory imprisonment.

The penalty is a fine of up to S$5000.00. The employer will also be permanently barred from employing a FDW and risks loosing the S$5000.00 security deposit posted with the MOM.

You can apply for a FDW if your LTSVP is valid for at least four months at the time of application and your child/children should be holding valid Student Pass/es in Singapore
