can I leave from Singapore if new EP is in process

Post new topic

Hello Experts,

I got a new job offer and the new employer has already submitted my application but what if my EP is not approved even after finishing my notice period (I am aware that best practice is to put resignation normally after EP approval only but I took this call)?

If I cancel my existing EP on my LWD and leave for my native country then any challenges for me or need to complete any formalities? 

Can I fly from SG and come back with STVP (of course within the tenure of it).

Thanks

You automatically get a 30-days-SVP after cancellation of your EP. This cannot be extended or renewed. Coming back after a short period will sure raise questions - I won‘t do it!
