Do you know how long it takes for the renewal of employment pass category II now?

Any experiences to share? I have received a special pass already.

My company uses a visa agent. He submitted my application on 20 September 2022. I checked on ESD portal, but the status is still “submitted/documents verification” until now.

Hi suebpong,


Once you received the special pass, usually it take 25 working days to get your employment pass Category 2.

How long will it take to process and approve the Employment Pass application?

Once all required documents have been submitted, all applications will be processed within five (5) working days.


OK. I though it would take about 5 working days.
