Step 1 — Confirm the appointment details
Date, time, address, booking reference, and what the mission asked her to bring. Write it once. If the slot clashes with duties, treat as a schedule change (#46).
Step 2 — Pack documents early
Passport, work pass, photos, forms — per the mission’s list. Use safekeeping habits (#115). Do not invent “must pay $X” fees; check the mission’s live fee page.
Step 3 — Soft-check WP / timing with EA if unsure
If the visit touches pass validity, travel, or renewal windows, soft-loop your EA (#26) and skim #108. Card collection is a different day (#138).
Step 4 — Transport and return window
Brief the route (#144). Agree who covers the house while she is out. Emergency contacts current (#151).
Step 5 — House-rules pointer
Note “embassy appointments need written time off” in house rules (#32). Platform ≠ agency.
Soft MOM
Fair access to personal documents and reasonable time for official appointments: soft framing on mom.gov.sg. No invented $.

- Docs packed early (#115)

Scripts
To helper: Bring this pack tomorrow. We blocked your duties for the appointment window. Message me when you leave and when you are on the way home.
To EA: Soft-check whether this embassy slot affects any pass timing on our side — platform is not the agency.
Bottom line
Embassy day needs early docs, a written time-off window, transport, and an EA soft-check when pass timing is unclear. Browse on SmartMaid; place through a licensed EA under soft MOM rules.
