Hi, starting this thread to see if expat applications are getting approved for hiring FDW.

Do share your approvals or rejections, any queries here....

Last post

It seems many employers are giving helpers higher pay to retain them as helpers are getting competing offers from expats. Is this okay with MOM?...
