I have a established company in India and we want to expand to Singapore by registering a company and myself relocating to Singapore. I applied for an EntrePass. I had made sure all the criteria is met. Last week while checking the status of the application I found that it is rejected. I am in India currently, when I called MOM, I was informed that the system is updated with "Criteria not met". If I give the the local contact no. then the concerned office will call me and give specific reason. I requested her to update me by the email, and I sent the details to the mail id provided by MOM. Today 3 days has passed but I did not get a reply. I am wondering whether I should travel to Singapore and contact the MOM personally, or should I take help from someone who provide these services. I am a degree Engineer having over 20 yrs of experience out of which 15 years of working for large multinationals in US, Canada and India before starting my own business. Can anyone help me with what should I be doing in the present situation. I understand I should file an appeal within 30 days of the rejection. Unless I know the reason for rejection what else can I do. Please help..

Sometimes you can get more details about a rejection during a personal appointment with MoM, but they are not obliged to tell you anything more than they already did.
An appeal is only worth doing if something has changed or you have additional, important information, which you didn't include in your application before. If nothing changed, don't waste your (and their) time with an appeal - MoM's decision is final!
Indians are currently rejected more often than others, due to the high numbers of applicants and too many abusers in the past.
