EP in June

Post new topic

Hi All

I am Indian National moving to Singapore soon. My company has applied for EP on 7th June. Lets see when i get the EP ( I am expecting under normal circumstances by 21st June it seems and in bad luck can by July :) )

I had a question, i have previously worked in Singapore for 1.5yrs and when i left , company had to cancel my EP since i moved out of SG

in my new application number which has been filed , when i try to check my Application status ( i know its too early ) , it shows my old EP application details ( in-spite of entering new Application number in the query) and  EP status as cancelled. I asked my consultant and they seem to think that its fine but didn't sound that convincing. I was ideally expecting the status as "Pending" under my new application number ...is it any different for people who are returning back?

Thanks
Ricky

Go through the sticky posts. It's mentioned there.

In short - Employer may have applied for EP but MOM hasn't entered it yet in the system . Though by now they should have. If new application doesn't show up ask Employer to check with MOM if there is any pending document to be submitted.

Thanks a lot bro . I spoke to them and they haven’t heard from MoM on any pending documents and as per them they have submitted on all required documents

Not sure if this is normal but I have also dropped an query to MoM on below

Status changed to pending under new application today evening . Looks like I should count 2 weeks from today then it seems :)

Let me know if anyone else has also applied EP in June. Let’s hope we get our EP in 2-3 weeks  :)

How do you know it was rejected again? Was there any notification to your employer? Did you check with your employer?

The status never changes at the time of appealing. It remains rejected. Good luck

I receive whatsapp message coming from my employer. The manager under finance dept. I was informed that the status of my appeal was failed. What I understand is that, finance position in a healthcare sector was difficult to approve foreign worker Unlike nurses and caregiver they were easier. Is there any case like mine and can help what should I do?

I have also tried SAT and I wasnt elligible. I adjusted my salary from 2400 to 2700 and it became elligible. Was it because of my salary? But my employer told me the reason doesnt link to salary,according to her mom was very hard to give work pass to a finance positions in health sector. Only for nurses and caregivers.

Read our old threads, you will get answer. There should be a valid rationale from employer to MoM that why are they recruiting a foreigner and was there any proof that they tried locally but unable to get same skilled person here.

Secondly, your salary should be matched the market standard and minimum eligible criteria. Without that there is no point appealing a failed case. Good luck

Thanks surya for your info. Appreciate your help and everyone here. I have learned a lot from diff forums here. May we continue to help one onther. Kudos to all members.

Will try other sector or company. I hope I wll get a pass approval on my next journey of application soon. 😊

Hi all,

I am here in Singapore since 2009, I have a Master degree from NTU and 9 years experience in my field.

I lost my job in March 2019 and now I have LTVP pass which I got from ICA on the base of my NTU graduate degree.

I have got an offer from the company to have only 6 personnel out of 6  two are on EP holder.
my company applied my 3rd EP on the 28th of May 2019.

From 30th May till Now status showing: We need inputs from other agencies to process this application.outcome may take 4 weeks or longer.

in the meantime on 4th June  MOM asking from my company details and my TAX report.

Please comments and let me know why it is delayed to get approval.

thanks

MoM itself has given you the reason - They need inputs from other agencies.

EP approval depends on credits of both the Employee and the Employer. MoM already asked your Employer for their tax records for verification and judgement that your Employer revenues qualifies for EP.

All you can do is wait. Good luck.

Kumar00001

Thanks Avinashjha for you info. Hope i will get EP approval soon.

Still the same status for one month :
Status:  we need inputs from other agencies to process this application. In most instances, the outcome will be available in 4 weeks' time. Some cases may take longer.

Please advise.

What do you expect us to advise?
Apparently, the vetting agencies in your country need that long to investigate (maybe because your schools and/or ex-employers fail to respond in a timely manner?), so you fall under "Some cases may take longer."
Be patient and wait for the result.
The only alternative is cancelling the application and looking for a job elsewhere.

Applied - 17th June
Approved - 1st July 7PM Singapore time
As far as I have tracked it was just showing "Pending" until it was approved.
