About Foster Manpower Pte Ltd
Foster Manpower Pte Ltd is a domestic helper placement agency based at 400 Balestier Road, operating islandwide across Singapore. The listing has been verified by KakiList, meaning a real person confirmed the operating details and contact channel. However, no ACRA registration has been confirmed, no MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence appears on record, and only 3 Google reviews are available at a rating of 2.3 out of 5 — too small a sample to draw any reliable conclusions about service quality. Pricing is indicated at mid-range but no specific package fees are published.
Families considering a placement agency should confirm that the agency holds a current MOM EA Licence — verifiable on MOM's online EA directory by name or licence number — before engaging further. When you do make contact, key items to clarify include the placement fee for a new-hire helper versus a transfer helper, the helper's expected monthly salary (typically S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience), the monthly MOM levy (S$300 standard, or S$60 concessionary for qualifying households), what is bundled into the package such as mandatory FDW insurance, the Settling-In Programme, medical examination and Work Permit application, and the replacement guarantee window should the placement not work out.
To proceed, reach Foster Manpower Pte Ltd by phone or via the enquiry form, and request a written breakdown of all fees and the agency's EA Licence number before paying any deposit. Listing data is incomplete — contact Foster Manpower Pte Ltd directly to confirm details.

No specific package fees are published on the listing, so you will need to request a written quotation directly. As a reference, placement fees across the Singapore market typically run S$1,500–3,500 for a new-hire helper and S$500–1,500 for a transfer helper. On top of the placement fee, factor in the helper's monthly salary (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience) and the monthly MOM levy (S$300 standard, or S$60 concessionary if your household includes a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with a disability). Confirm what is bundled into the quoted package — mandatory FDW insurance (roughly S$300–600 per year), the Settling-In Programme, medical examination, and Work Permit application are sometimes included and sometimes billed separately.

Every legitimate maid agency in Singapore must hold a current MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence, which is publicly verifiable on MOM's online EA directory by agency name or licence number. No EA Licence has been confirmed for Foster Manpower Pte Ltd in the data available on this listing. This is a significant gap — the licence number should appear on the agency's website, contracts, and invoices as a matter of course. Before paying any deposit or signing any agreement, search for Foster Manpower Pte Ltd on MOM's EA directory yourself and confirm the licence is active and in good standing. EA Grading runs from A+ to C, with A+ and A indicating stronger compliance and complaint-handling records. Engaging an unlicensed agent is illegal, leaves you with no recourse if the placement fails, and can void your helper's insurance.
No details about a replacement guarantee have been published for this listing, so you will need to ask directly before committing. In the Singapore market, a standard replacement window runs six months from the helper's arrival date, with one or two replacements included. Clarify what voids the guarantee — documented mismatch or misconduct is usually covered, while a simple change of mind may not be. Also confirm the early-termination process: if the placement breaks down outside the guarantee window, the household typically bears the cost of the helper's repatriation flight, Work Permit cancellation paperwork, and any unused levy already paid. Get the replacement, refund, and early-termination clauses in writing before signing the agency contract. Verify the EA Licence number on MOM's online EA directory before paying any deposit, and read the agency contract's replacement, refund, and early-termination clauses.
