Multiple filing of S pass or EP before starting to work in Singapore. by malaysiaNewBie

Hi, I am presently In India.I got a job offer in Singapore and my employer prepared the documentation to file a S pass for me.I think they will start the processing in a day or two. But, I got another job offer now from another employer, say E2 ...

ruddy24

it should be possible to have two concurrent applications. An in-principle approval letter does not mean you are already employed, hence there is no need to cancel that (you'll just let it lapse - usually they give 3 months to show up after ... Read More

SOS really need help! by kidrock

HI, i need to ask for advices, Pls help me? This is my case..I have credit cards debt in singapore approximately 20k with 3 different banks (loan and credit cards) singapore dollars, I left singapore 1 year ago in 2011 since then i stop paying my ...

ruddy24

20K across three banks is not a huge amount and most big banks wouldn't even take matter to courts for such amount, so I doubt they have obtained judgments against you, hence don't think you'd be arrested the moment you enter. Credit rating ... Read More

It does seem odd that they would apply for a TEP after you've been working on EP for 2 years. As its name suggest, TEP is reserved for employees undergoing training (interns e.g). Are they planning to move you to a different job scope, hence the ... Read More

Scammers by cer

I'm currently looking for a place to stay, and i've found something that could be great. Usually prices are floating b/n 800/1000sgd per month. So I think that this is the average price for a room in the central districts. Isn't it? Than, I've ...

ruddy24

don't get your expectations high for low-priced apartments below $500. In 90% of the cases, those would not be individual rooms but rented on a shared basis. Definitely come here first to have a look before agreeing to anything, I've heard of ... Read More

Visa: this strange animal... by cer

Hi! I'm gonna start an internship the 25th of June or the 2nd of July( it depends on how much time it's gonna take to prepare all the papers for my Training Employment Pass). In the meanwhile I have to book the flight and find a place to stay. So ...

"The TAP will cover me from the first day i'll start to work till the last one(right?)" Yes that's right. The moment your pass is issued, your tourist visa is cancelled and your entry/re-entry permit is tied to your TAP. You don't need to purchase ... Read More

Employment Pass Rejection by louisa15

I have been in SG for 6 years in a row now (healthcare and an Sg licensed professional) and has been on employment pass ever since and as of the moment, my salary complies with the Q1 category which is above 3,000sgd. Never changed companies at ...

ruddy24

sorry to hear. the rules have been tightened for Q1 passes. It's not just salary that is taken into account but age as well. $3,000 monthly just would do it for a fresh graduate, but for older employees, salary is expected to be higher, almost at ... Read More

it's anyone's luck at the moment for EP applications. If you want to maximize your chances at a succesful appeal, don't hesitate to involve your HR, and get MoM to reveal reason for rejection (this can be tricky as they are usually reluctant to ... Read More

"is his a reason and also my company is not employing any singaporean" - unlikely to be the reason as there are no foreigner quotas for employment passes of Q1 category and above. For S-Passes, there is a quota and if there are no Singaporeans ... Read More

welcome. first off, SG is the most westernized city in the East. Conservative? that totally depends on someone's POV. I think it appears polished on the surface but in general people are mostly liberal about many things. It's always hot and humid. ... Read More

Effective Pass Appeal by babydollsakura

My employer and I have been having problems with MOM. I used to be an S-Pass holder in Singapore and after I resigned from my previous job, I looked for a new career that suits my degree and knowledge. I was aware of the changes in the salary and ...

first, you have to make sure the problem does not lie with the company itself (i.e company not compliant, foreigner quotas exceeded etc). In those cases, any appeal is useless. if your company is confident the problem lies in your application, bulk ... Read More
