Placement fees for a new-hire helper typically run S$1,500–3,500 at most Singapore maid agencies; transfer helpers are usually S$500–1,500 given the shorter process. On top of the placement fee, you will pay the helper's monthly salary (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience) and the monthly MOM levy — S$300 at the standard rate, or S$60 concessionary if your household includes a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with disability. Confirm in writing what is bundled into the quoted fee — mandatory FDW insurance (approximately S$300–600 per year), the Settling-In Programme, pre-employment medical examination, and Work Permit application are sometimes included and sometimes billed separately.

Every legitimate maid agency in Singapore must hold an MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence, which is publicly verifiable on MOM's online EA directory by agency name or licence number. The licence number should appear on the agency's website, contracts, and invoices. No MOM EA Licence is recorded against Golden Kayin Manpower Pte Ltd in the data available to KakiList at the time of this listing — this is a significant gap and must be verified directly before you pay any deposit or sign any agreement. EA Grading runs from A+ to C; A+ and A agencies signal stronger compliance records and complaint-handling standards. Engaging an unlicensed agent is illegal, leaves you with no recourse if a placement breaks down, and can void your FDW insurance. Verify the EA Licence number on MOM's online EA directory before proceeding. With only 2 Google reviews at 3/5, the review sample is too small to use as a meaningful trust signal.

A standard replacement guarantee at reputable Singapore maid agencies covers a window of approximately six months from the helper's arrival date and typically includes one or two free replacements for documented mismatches — for example, skill gaps or household incompatibility — though guarantees generally do not cover situations where the employer simply changes their mind. Golden Kayin Manpower Pte Ltd has not published their replacement policy publicly. Before signing, ask specifically: how long the guarantee window is, how many replacements are included at no charge, what documentation is required to invoke it, and what the cost of additional replacements would be. Also clarify the early-termination process — repatriation flight costs, Work Permit cancellation, and any refund of unused levy are typically the household's responsibility if the placement ends outside the guarantee window. Verify the EA Licence on MOM's directory before paying any deposit, and read the agency contract's replacement, refund, and early-termination clauses.
