yes. this was what i said above. this new rule is with effective 24 Feb. they hv to do a thorough body check, can't just have those cheap $80-100 body checks. I have just paid $600 for my maid to do body check la :(
o, i also paid $1600 tim excl $600 body check.
my BK friend told me start from 24 Feb, all Indo maids need to take a $500 or above body check examination (instead of $80), so I am pretty sure renewal fee will be more expensive now.
some agents also charge maid for renewal fee that's why they can charge you lower. for my agent, only charge me $1600.
i checked with other 2 agents, they charge $2000-2200 tim.
