Hi
I applied for my helper while we were still in Singapore. Once you get a HKID and a proof of permanent address, you can start the visa application process. We used an agency in HK with a working relationship with one in Singapore (Lucky Plaza), paid about HKD3000 in HK to the agent in HK and SGD300 to the agent in Singapore. Thereafter, the visa application took about 6-8 weeks.
While in HK, we applied for an extension of her stay (extended by 2 weeks). Had to go to wanchai to do this. At the same time, chase the domestic helper department to hurry!
Then once the visa was approved, she took a ferry to macau and came back in to activate the visa on the same day.
