How do I pay my foreign worker’s levy if my GIRO application has not been approved?

You should pay using Check and pay levy by the 17thof each month. 

How to pay using PayNow QR in Check and pay levy:

  1. Log in to Check and pay levy. Select 'PayNow' as payment mode and a QR code will be generated.

    Note: Please re-generate a new QR code for each new transaction. Please do not use QR codes generated from previous transactions in Check and pay levy or previous hard copy levy bills.

  2. Open your mobile banking app on your mobile device and scan the QR code.

    Note: If you are viewing this QR code from your mobile device, save the QR code and import the image when paying through your mobile banking app.

  3. Check the details of the fund transfer. Make sure you see 'Ministry of Manpower' as the registered payee before submitting your request.

    Note: Please do not edit any transaction details in your banking or payment app during payment, except for the payment amount.
