In-principal approval

Post new topic

GrumpyCat96

Hello!

I am planing on doing an internship in Singapore next year in January as part of my studies for my university. I have received the approval from a company in Singapore and just needed to apply and receive the approval for the work holiday pass.

I have now received the in-principal approval (IPA) and have time until 22 of Oktober to issue my work holiday pass in Singapore. Since my intership starts  in January, I won't be able to do that in that time frame.

Is it possible to cancel the in principal approval and reapply for the work holiday pass later this year and still be accepted again?

Thank you for your time.

Andre

The number of WHV is limited. Count yourself lucky that you got one - and do not cancel it!
Instead, you should contact MoM and ask for an extension of the IPA until January.
