Mr Lim Biow Chuan asked the Minister for Manpower whether the Ministry is able to provide an indicative date to employers of migrant domestic workers (MDWs) on the possible dates for the MDWs’ entry into Singapore instead of leaving the employers uncertain and unable to plan.

MOM recognises that there are still many families waiting for approval for their migrant domestic workers (MDWs) to enter Singapore. As the regional COVID-19 situation improves, MOM is able to give more entry approvals. From 15 October 2021, we have opened up new applications for the entry of fully vaccinated MDWs, for entry from 1 November onwards. For those employers who are not successful in getting entry approvals, they may wish to access the application portal in subsequent weeks as entry slots are periodically made available. Households that require MDWs urgently may wish to consider the commercial programme by the Association of Employment Agencies (Singapore) (AEA(S)).
