Spass Application Status

@katheejamohamed2001 You received a call from a recruiter without having applied for a job? Then they applied for a work pass before you saw and agreed to the offer letter?

This is NOT the normal way to do this and sounds very fishy!

You should contact the employer directly and ask whether they actually engaged this agent (and thus will pay their fees). If they comfirm, then ask the agent to check with MoM why your application cannot be found in their system - certainly something os wrong here and no processing is done (12 weeks lost …).

In plain simple term, paying to an agent or recruitment agency is illegal here. Dont pay.

In Singapore, there were several black listed agencies operating to trick people from other countries. They get black listed by MoM but in a year or two, they open their shop with a new name and continue doing their business.

@beppi I have applied in Website. After that only they called me. After I sent the medical report they sent me the offer letter and I signed it and I sent to them. After this only they told me that this process will take 10 to 12 weeks. Can u please clear me this.

@surya2k I didn't pay a single amount. I just paid 4500 for medical check up only. Even that money also I paid directly to the medical Centre only.

That sounds roughly o.k. then!

(Sorry for suspecting the agents - there are many dishonest ones!)

if the medical check was S$4500, you got scammed! if it was another currency, you must decide for yourself whether it was appropriate.

But the agent should check with MoM why your application was not yet entered into the system and when pricessing will start!

@beppi No. It is not 4500 SGD. 4500 Indian Rupees.

Good luck.. but its bit surprise that the employer cant pay $60-70 from their pocket.
