Click to go to NEW cheapest maid insurance II
J’s maid was completing 2 years of service and he recently received the Ministry of Manpower’s (M.O.M) notice. It is actually quite simple to purchase insurance for your maid and we have a campaign for it below.
Once the maid insurance is in-forced, M.O.M will allow you to renew online. It should be instantaneous.
Before we dive in, these are mandatory requirements for maid insurance:
- $60,000 Personal Accident coverage
- $15,000 Medical coverage
- $5,000 Security bond
Do not hastily click on the lowest premium option when you search online!
I checked around for the maid insurance offers and realised some packages do not include sufficient coverage for all 3 items.
So which is the cheapest maid insurance plan out there?
MSIG’s Maidplus $267.50 or HL Assurance Maidprotect360 $234(26mths coverage)
These 2 plans are among the cheapest maid insurance while fulfilling the M.O.M requirements. While HL Assurance plan is cheaper at $234, MSIG is giving a free medical package worth $70 consisting of a medical checkup and a flu jab. Hence, we are comfortable recommending it.

** For 14mths, NTUC Income plan is the cheapest
Maid insurance plans are designed to be 14 or 26months which gives an excess of 2 months of insurance to maids. If you had a previous maid insurance, it should also have an excess 2months which has to be forfeited when you renew now.
PS: Once the MSIG Maidplus plan is purchased, an original redemption letter will be mailed to you in about 2 weeks.
Our Campaign: Buy the right plan now and make a small donation
Why we are doing this campaign?
Before we describe the campaign, we would like to state that we are paid a commission by all insurers. MSIG’s MaidPlus plan is recommended solely because it is a competitive offering and there are no additional charges going through with us. In addition, we can assist you administratively in future as your representative.
Though the commission amounts are meagre, we will still eek out a $2 donation for every case done through our broker portal.
It will be made to Children’s Cancer Foundation online. The amounts are small and I hope we can do it simply on trust. At any step, you can feel free to still purchase directly from insurer via their DIY portal.

Optional cover called “waiver of counter indemnity”: It is designed to protect you from a possible loss of $5,000 if your maid breaches the security bond.

Do note that M.O.M has clarified that should maids get pregnant, this $5,000 is not forfeited as mentioned in this link.
