MOM does not refund admin fees.

Admin fees are used to recover the cost of providing services to you, e.g. processing work pass applications.

However, if multiple payments were made due to MOM's error, we will give a refund for the extra payments.

Payment of admin fees using GIRO is only for Employment Agencies.

To set up GIRO payment for admin fees:

1. Print the GIRO form.
2. Complete Part 1 of the form.
3. Post the original completed form to:
   E-Payment & Admin Fee Management
   Work Pass Division
   Ministry of Manpower
   18 Havelock Road
   Singapore 059764

You will receive the outcome by post. It may take 4 weeks or more, depending on your bank. While GIRO payment is being set up, you need to pay your fees using available methods.

Once GIRO payment is set up, deductions will take place on the 17^th of the following month (or the next working day if the 17^th falls on a weekend or public holiday). Make sure you have enough funds for the GIRO deduction.

To qualify for levy concession, you need to have the eligible person needing care listed as your household member.

If you did not indicate the eligible person as a household member in your Work Permit application, you need to add them by logging in to FDW eService > Menu > Account > Edit my profile > Household details.
