About Sumitoyo Employment Agency Pte Ltd
Sumitoyo Employment Agency Pte Ltd is a maid agency based in Singapore, covering islandwide placements for families seeking full-time foreign domestic workers. The listing is KakiList-verified and ACRA-registered. No regulatory licences are currently recorded in this listing, and the Google rating of 5/5 is drawn from only 2 reviews — too small a sample to carry meaningful weight. Prospective clients should verify the agency's MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence independently before proceeding.
Engaging a maid agency typically begins with confirming the agency's MOM EA Licence number, which is verifiable on MOM's online EA directory. From there, you would discuss your household's requirements — the number of occupants, whether you have young children, elderly family members, or a person with disability (which determines MOM levy eligibility), and preferred source country (Indonesia, Philippines, Myanmar, or Sri Lanka are common). The agency will present candidates, arrange interviews, and handle Work Permit application, the mandatory Settling-In Programme, and the helper's medical examination. Placement fees differ between new-hire helpers (typically S$1,500–3,500) and transfer helpers already in Singapore (typically S$500–1,500), and monthly costs include the helper's salary (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience) plus the MOM levy (S$300 standard, or S$60 concessionary for qualifying households). Confirm what is bundled in the agency fee versus billed separately — FDW insurance, medical exam, and Work Permit application fees are sometimes itemised on top.
Contact Sumitoyo Employment Agency Pte Ltd by phone or through the enquiry form to ask for their MOM EA Licence number, current candidate availability, placement fee schedule, and replacement guarantee terms before paying any deposit.
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.

Placement fees at maid agencies in Singapore typically run S$1,500–3,500 for a new-hire helper and S$500–1,500 for a transfer helper already in Singapore. Sumitoyo Employment Agency Pte Ltd has not published a specific fee schedule on this listing, so you should request a written breakdown before committing. Beyond the agency's placement fee, your monthly ongoing costs include the helper's salary (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience) and the MOM levy (S$300 standard, or S$60 concessionary if your household has a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with disability). Ask the agency to clarify what is bundled in the placement fee — mandatory FDW insurance (~S$300–600 per year), the Settling-In Programme, the pre-deployment medical examination, and Work Permit application fees may or may not be included.

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 EA licence is currently recorded in this KakiList listing for Sumitoyo Employment Agency Pte Ltd, so you should ask them directly for their licence number and cross-check it on the MOM directory before paying any deposit. EA Grading runs from A+ to C; agencies rated A+ or A have stronger compliance and complaint-handling track records. Hiring through 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 paying any deposit, and read the agency contract's replacement, refund, and early-termination clauses.
Standard replacement guarantees at Singapore maid agencies typically cover a window of six months from the helper's arrival date. Within this period, if the placement does not work out due to a documented mismatch, the agency arranges a replacement candidate. The number of free replacements and what circumstances void the guarantee — such as the employer terminating the helper without cause — vary by agency and should be confirmed in writing before you sign. Also clarify the early-termination process outside the guarantee window. If the placement breaks down after the guarantee expires, the household bears the cost of the helper's repatriation flight, Work Permit cancellation, and any unused MOM levy refund paperwork. Sumitoyo Employment Agency Pte Ltd has not published its specific replacement terms here, so request these details in writing before proceeding.
