you need to fill up new contract forms, better you visit immigration dept on foreign domestic section 6th flr. ask for a domestic helper's contract and they will give you together with the yellow booklet, at the back of that booklet there's a checklist of what dopcuments you need to fill up when you renew your helper's contract, just make sure you prepare your proof of financial statements examples: income tax return from inland revenue or bank statement, or 3 months salary slip which is of the latest date... first step is go to the consulate if your helper is filipina, go to united center 14th flr. consulate general of the phils. in there you will pass the 4 pcs. contract of the same serial no, helper's travel document photocopy the front page and the visa status in the passport, then the helper's hk id (copy), employers hongkong id(copy) and the old contract to be renewed and a fee of 297.00hkk$.. then wait for 3 working days to pick it up be sure to keep the receipt, then after you can go to the immigration, you have to bring your all documents i mention together with the documents you picked up from the consulate prepare to pay the levy and the visa ( levy-2400 and visa 145.00) when your there in immigration you have to pass all documents to the information counter they will give you the card and wait for your no. to be called, the offier will do the interview and he will tell you to wait for your name to be called thats the time when you pay the levy andthe visa and there the visa is already renewed... Better ask your heper to do it her self she knows what to do, or process with the help of the agency but have to pay 2500 for the processing alone .

do we need to pay the owwa to the phil consulate. i find it very confusing as my helper keeps telling me different things i have to pay each day, and when i tried calling the phil consulate, i get different info each day.

yes owwa payment are shouldered by the employer, along with the authentication fee in the consulate, the visa and the levy and owwa those are the only payments that the employer should pay
