Hi all,

Figured there hasn't been a thread topic on this yet. I would like to share my stats:

First EP Application, applied on Jan 26, working in financial services industry. Now status is showing Pending on the EP Status Check. Will update you on any changes.

Feel free to share yours for those who applied recently.

Hi all,

For me I will start as an assistant professor in university in Singapore. I have first application submitted third week of January. I am waiting now with pending status.

Application approval times are a hit and miss, sometimes you get it in 1 week (like mine) or you get it in a few weeks to a few months. It is a plus if you have been working and currently in Singapore. But it also does not guarantee anything. So is a high salary offer.

Patience is a virtue in the pass approval waiting game.

Sharing my experience:

EP applied: 6 Jan
EP approved: 17 Jan
Industry: Tech
Current location: Overseas

However, I have heard that they are restricting entry due to the Covid situation. Has anyone had any issues, even when an IPA has already been issued?

pageprestonNew member01 February 2022 15:06:02

Sorry my above was not clear:
Applied: 28/1/22
Pending: 29/1/22

Fingers crossed it will move quick!

Wilber: We encourage all new members to first read related discussions to see if a question has already been answered. Yours has been!
In short: Get the FIN number from your employer and use that to log into EPOL!
