Why IPA Rejected/Unsuccessfull ?

An IPA cannot be applied for, only a work pass.

And no new application can be lodged by an employer while you are still holding an IPA.

Pay IRIS? Do you mean IRAS? If you have a previous tax payable default then yes it could be the reason behind your pass being rejected.

@maiyadnan94 An IPA ("In-Principle Approval") is never rejected, but the work pass you applied for it (and then noIPA gets issued).

If you have tax debt, you should definitely pay that first, before applying for anothe work pass. That is not at MoM, but IRAS!

Hi.. i worked in singapore 7.5 years until 2020 but after i want to work again but my ipa 3 times rejected .. now my last company wants to take me back what are the chances i can get ipa

@Rajoraraj50 An IPA (In-Principle Approval) cannot be applied for and is thus never rejected.

What was actually applied for (and rejected, and for which reasons?
