Short Term Visit Extension

STVP extensions, if approved, will not cause any problem in future.
Why do you think they would?

bcs i once read a thread on google saying tht if u extend ur stays in sg so many times, it might bring u problem when u want to travel to sg again in the future.

but thank u for ur response! truly appreciate it

Of course, if they get the impression you are abusing the STVP to in fact live in Singapore, you will be denied entry.
To avoid this, it is generally recommendable to stay away at least as long as you were in the country before. And you cannot count on having your STVP extended again on your subsequent visit.
If you want to stay here longer, you should apply for a long-term pass.

actually it was due to permit application, now my work permit has already been accepted. but my employer said that i will need to go back to my country and come back to singapore in short time using the wp. i dont even know what that means.

You do not have to leave the country for the switch from STVP to WP - just visit MoM and have it issued!

ouh i see. thank you so much!!

do I have to make an appointment to visit MoM? and under what type of service?

Your employer can help you with this.

@beppi

can you please give me guidance on how to extend stvp after EP cancellation. Can we do it ourselves or it has to be done by ex employer. Do I have to do it 7 days before last date of STVP or can I do it earlier. I have also soon some people get 60 days STVP instead of 30 days. Can you please guide

@technogirlsimran1 Your ex-employer must apply for your extension. In some cases MoM seems to give 60 days STVP at the cancellation of a work pass - but it is unclear why and under which circumstances.

@beppi - thank you for your response.What in case if employer does not agree to extend it, can we do it ourselves. Do I have to do it 7 days before last date of STVP or can I do it earlier.

@technogirlsimran1 You cannot do it yourself under normal circumstances.But if the ex-employer refuses, you could at least try to send proof of this (in writing!) to MoM, together with your new workpass application details, and ask for an exemption - no harm done even if it doesn't work out!

If you aren't waiting for the next work pass (and have no other ahrdship reason to stay on, e.g. medically unfit for travel), then you are out of luck and must leave Singapore before your current STVP expires.
