EP Processing and Appeal Need guidance

Post new topic

shaanD

Hi I have applied for EP on 4th of November 2020. But its got reject by mom by 17th of november 2020 but no reason reveled. So my job agent applied for the appeal on 18th of November 2020 with the justification letter.

after 3 weeks today (8/12/2020) got an email from MOM saying they need another 3 weeks for process the appeal.

My question is my STVP is expired on coming 18th December 2020. How can i extend the STVP and anyone know how long really it took for the EP appeal process? Please reply

You do not mention if your STVP was issued by ICA or MoM.
If the latter, ask your previous employer to extend it - valid reasons are e.g. that you cannot travel to your home country before expiry.
If the former, you can approach ICA for an extension. Again you need a valid reason- an unfreseen delay in EP processing might count (bring written proof!).
If no extension is given, you must leave Singapore before the STVP expires and wait elsewhere for approval of your EP.

Hi the STVP is given by mom(i received it when my previous EP got cancelled)

My previous employer not agreed to apply for STVP they asking me to request STVP through the new employer who is did the Appeal.

Both employers are not related. Please guide me

Then you can try to contact MoM yourself - if you have a valid reason like not being able to leave Singapore.
