The Foreign Worker Bond will only be discharged if: - the work permit is cancelled; and - the worker has returned home; and - you did not breach any of the conditions of the Foreign Worker Bond.
If you or your foreign worker breaches any of MOM’s rules or conditions, MOM may forfeit the bond and demand for payment from ECICS. ECICS will pay $5,000 to MOM on your behalf and in such cases, we will seek recovery of the amount from you.
A Foreign Worker Bond (commonly known as security bond) is a commitment to reimburse the government if either you or your foreign worker violates or fail to adhere to the terms and conditions of the work permit. This bond typically takes the form of a banker's or insurer's guarantee. For each non-Malaysian Work Permit holder you employ, you are required to purchase a $5,000 security bond.

You need to buy the Foreign Worker Bond before your new worker arrives in Singapore or before you can renew your existing worker's work permit.
