Hi Everyone,

My IPA (for EP) got approved recently when checked on the MOM website - https://eponline.mom.gov.sg/epol I can enquire the status but the status is a little contradictory.

The website shows:
IPA Status is Approved
Pass Validity is Invalid

I haven't entered Singapore yet. Can anyone throw some light on what these two statuses mean?

IPA is not a pass, just an entry visa. Your pass is not yet issued, that is why it says "invalid".

Thank you. That means that IPA is good to travel?

You need your passport, a flight ticket - and currently (due to COVID) also an entry permit, which the employer has to apply for.
