Thank you !

How does one go about finding such staff ? Is there a governement labour agency ? private/government websites ? printed classifieds ?

Is it generally easy to find such staff ? In HK I have found it very easy.

Hello

I am thinking of relocating to Singapore with my thai wife and our 2 children. Can anyone advise if it is easy to find a thai domestic helper ? Alternatively, is it feasible to bring our own maid and get a domestic helper visa for her ?

Thanks
