I came to my home country after my STVP expired & now when I apply for the visa to re-enter the visa agents are reluctant to apply as I am not employed at present. I have an offer letter from a company & they are applying for the EP but it may take longer because of the holidays. I can wait for the IPA but my puppy is back in Singapore under my helper's care so can't stay back in India. Does anyone have any idea how I can get a visa to re-enter Singapore?

@AB1987 Applying for an STVP (tourist visa) is the only way to enter Singapore, while you don't have a work pass. If you can't get one, you cannot travel there!

By the way: You cannot legally hold a rented apartment or employ a foreign domestic helper without having a work pass. Your helper's work permit is automatically cancelled when your work pass expired - better inform her and your landlord, to avoid serious problems!
