What’s the process to renew Myanmar helper’s passport

[Theoldjaffa]

Hi all,

does anyone have any experience on the process of renewing your Myanmar helper’s passport ?

I tried to get an appointment via the Myanmar embassy’s website but the damn website doesn’t work.

I was also told that they don’t accept renewal until there’s only a month left in the passport’s validity.

So I’d like to get help from anyone here who has gone thru the actual process, to share with him how to get a queue number to make an appt, the leadtime to expect and what else to do.

Jin cham, wanna go for trip in Dec and just realised the helper’s passport expiring in Jan 2024. Cannot book tickets and cannot renew passport because of the system.

Thanks in advance!

Pay a small sum to an agent and they will do the rest for you, save the hassle.

yes bro, go back to the maid agency, they have runners running everyday and they know all the tricks. But there will always be a fee involve, I can't remember now, but i think is $50 or $150.  I had wanted to DIY also, but gave up and paid the agency to do it after going merry go round.

I think whether it is Myanmar or where, best is to pay a sum and ask agent to do.

Yeah, why trouble yourself? Get the maid agent to renew it. They will know better.

Alamak bro, I just called the maid agency I last used, she said since covid time, many runners quit, so now no runners doing passport renewal liao.

Have to book appt online and bring maid to embassy yourself now.  Paisay the last time we renew the maid passport was in 2017/18 I think.  Didn't know things changed now.  So sorry.

Maybe just go down to the Embassy personally , am sure they will help you that way and also recommend their so called “ in house agent “ ….. I had to do a similar one for Cambodia visas for a US relative ……. Their websites like can like “  Alibaba disappear” one and no response ; money also wasted too …… haiz …..and paid 10 times the original amount to Agent here for Visas within 48 hours 

[Theoldjaffa]

Thanks all bros who have responded. Appreciate it!

Ive decided to try my luck with Ayamart, one of the agents I googled.

Thanks bro, I managed to get a contact from there but it costs $180, which is double the $90 that Ayamart is charging.

Ah yes, peninsula plaza!

@Theoldjaffa, bro, there is this shop at level 3 where the maids go there remit money home, maybe they got lobang.  But go on week days, weekend there is no different from  a Myanmar fish market.

@Theoldjaffa  Have you tried Ayamart? I am worried it is a scam therefore my question.
