Does the Foreign Domestic Worker Law apply to Salon Workers?

[lemondrops]

Hi there,

My maid and her daughter would like to move to Singapore with us.  My maid will work for us, and we will get her a FDW pass.  She has a high school diploma.  She would also like to bring her daughter over who works in a hair salon, but has no high school diploma. Would it be possible to find work for her and get her an employment pass if she has no high school diploma?  I.e. Is she also covered by the FDW law?

TIA

[in short]

no

Thanks, does that mean she would not have to present a high school diploma to get a working pass here?

Er... no.

It means there's no way she'll get approved for a work pass, and she doesn't qualify for FDW status.

[maybe check]

to see if there are any other rellies that might want to come.
Also, check with neighbours and in your local mini-marts too. Maybe if you get enough you could work out some kind of special rate.
