Hi - my EP expires this month and my firm has not filed the renewal yet. i think they will only be able to file it one or two days before the expiry. will it make my renewal invalid? will they have to apply for a new EP? Please advice.

They should apply for a renewal at least a week (better four weeks) before expiry!

If they apply toolate and your EP expires, you will have to leave Singapore.

@beppi I think its already too late. however, hopefully the application will be filed before the EP expires. i understand i will have to be on a short term pass once my EP expires. My worry is - will the renewal application still be processed or will MOM ask that a new EP application be filed.

No new application. You will get a 30 days visa but you cant work during that time. Secondly, EP renewal shouldnt be longer because all documents with MoM are already verified in past but EP approval will be as per the MoM’s selection criteria and process. So, be prepared for that. Good luck
