Can we apply new S Pass while EP Appeal is pending with MOM

Post new topic

Dephi

I have 7yrs of experience, am working in Singapore since 4 years.  My EP expired on 30th Apr and now I am in STVP valid till 30th May.

Submitted EP renewal - 30 Mar 2021
Rejected renewal - 09 Apr 2021 - My EP renewal was rejected without mentioning any reason on 9 Apr 2021 as my Employer wrongly quoted 20% higher salary, 1150$ Hike (they did SAT assessment wrongly with wrong university). Employer refused to appeal or reapply my EP and gave short notice.

Submitted new EP through new employer - 23 Apr 2021
Rejected new EP - 10 May 2021 - Reason significant salary changes from previous employer, though the salary was as per MOM SAT 6500$, only 500$ hike.

Submitted appeal - 12 May 2021 with docs like bank statement, NOA, contract and cover letter

Today I got another employer who can apply for S Pass for me.

Please advise,
How is the chance for EP appeal approval?
Is it possible to apply new S Pass concurrently while waiting for EP appeal result? How is the chance for S Pass approval?
Also, anyways I can extend my STVP ? Or can I apply for social visit pass for 1 month?

First things first, get a STVP extension through your current employer.

Now on the pass, you cannot have two concurrent applications for a work pass. You need to withdraw one and apply for the other (EP withdrawal first, then SP fresh application).

Your salary hike- it ain’t much, 500 as you say, why not justify it on the cover letter to clarify what’s the monthly bump?

Passes are getting approved, lot of recent approvals, if you possess the righteous skills for the job, the criteria for hiring has been met with, you would sure secure an approval with a solid justification/ cover letter.

Good luck and hope this helps.
