Can I buy this SPIKPA/IG for my domestic maid insurance?

No. SPIKPA and the Insurance Guarantee are for foreign workers employed by a registered company, so they do not apply to domestic helpers. Immigration uses a personal bond for domestic helpers instead.


Maid Insurance with eInsurans


Medical costs during the helper's PLKS are the employer's responsibility, so most employers buy a maid insurance plan. See einsuransmy.com/maid-insurance, or WhatsApp us on 011-5621 6906 and our team guides you through the cover and the next steps.

  1. Who can apply: employers with children under 15 or sick parents. The helper must be female, aged 21–45, from an approved country (including Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Nepal).
