Hiring Costs

Costs of hiring a foreign domestic helper

Hiring a helper through an agency requires payment of agency fees, including introduction fees, visa fees, insurance, and other administrative costs, totaling around HKD 15,000. On the other hand, hiring a helper on your own does not require payment of agency fees, but it does require more time and effort to recruit and interview suitable candidates, with expenses totaling around HKD 1,000.
