Hi expats,

My relative girl trying to visit(travel visa) SG second time, she was deported by the ICA officials. They advice her to enter SG with valid docs. As they suspect, "she is trying to do job here"(They took her handphone and noticed there are many job seeking apps)

But after few she got EPass and trying to enter, they detain her again and advice to appeal in the ICA for clearing the previous deportation issues.

Then the previous sponsor(travel visa) approach ICA, they said need to submit form14 with supporting documents thru email. And we done it, we receive auto generated acknowledgement too.

Now almost 3 weeks already, there is no updates from ICA. We dunno how to know the status.

Did anyone go thru such incidents, pls advice what to do next. Your valuable suggestions will be appreciated.

Regards!

After deportation, you always need clearance from ICA before travelling (otherwise you will be denied entry, as you encountered). So your relative should contact ICA and ask for pemission to travel to Singapoe. She should mention the already approved EP - the previous tourist visa (and its sponsor) do not help.

Agreed, we had done those you mentioned, but need to check the status. Any possible ways 😔?

@zazonzazon If the ban was already liftet, you should be able to enter the country as before.

But if you want to be sure, contact ICA first!

@selvamani19790605

I have had similar case and would like to know whether your relative girl declared the refused entry in the Employment pass application and explained while submitting to the MOM.

When did she get the employment pass ?

Coming to your case did she submit the form14 and other relavent doumnets to ICA through the employer (as a local sponser)

Any updates from ICA after that ?

@zazonzazon Hi

Did you appeal through local sponsor (Singaporean / PR holder) or company ?

How long did the procedure take and did they any additional documents ?
