S PASS Rejected without concrete reasons - 8 August 2022

@Stevenf444 i am in the same situation as you, the worst case is the company said MOM does not provide reason(s) for work pass rejection. Just wondering how does the appeal show on MOM portal? does it show as pending ?

@jleremy6 Please read related forum discussions - it is all described in detail there (and we, the forum regulars, don't like to post the same over and over again)!

@jleremy6 Not sure about the status as I don't have an access to it.

@Stevenf444 So how is your work pass appeal?

@orbittelkom837 Hi, still appealing and pending at the moment.

How to return my old work pass at MOM?go to the MOM or by postage?if really to go,wht a real address MOM?

@Stevenf444 Hi Steven, would you mind if I asked how long it has been pending ?

@jleremy6 Hi, my employer submitted an appeal around mid-August, and they informed me on the 22nd of September that it is still pending. So around 6 to 8 weeks, and I'm not sure if I should keep waiting or restart my job search. Any advise?

@Stevenf444 i think you should wait till the result is out as u have been waiting for a few weeks already. Do inform us the final outcome and best of luck to u.

Hi, i am also Indonesian applying both EP and Spass at the same application.

It has been on pending state since 4 oct 2022

@orbittelkom837 Hi, yes and when my application is still in process, I can't cancel it. So I can only wait for the outcome, whether rejected or accepted. Also, even if I found another employment, they won't be able to apply for a work pass on my behalf as my application (from my previous employment) is still in process.

@ncob Hi, hopefully, it will be granted soon. Mine has been pending for 2 months ):

@Stevenf444 The employer can cancel the application at any time - and must do so without delay if you resign from the employment contract.

@Stevenf444 Hi Steven, would you mind if I asked about the current status of your  s pass appeal?

check with the company HR

Singapore finds it difficult to extend stay , why?

I just returned from Singapore to my country, though didn't overstayed , can I reapply immediately because I still have some peding matters in Singapore.

@surianitan from your name it suggest that you are female right? The chance will be higher to get work pass if female..

@surianitan hi Surianitan. Thanks for your updates and so happy for your s pass approval. If you dont mind, may i know how much is your monthly salary in order to get s pass?

Anywahy Happy New Year 2023..

Orbittelkom, it was originally $3.8 then adjusted to $4.5 by the employer in order to get it approved.

@surianitan thanks for your reply. I think so in order to get approved u need to earn at least sgd4.5k. Anyway thanks and really appreciate it.

Hi guys,

I just want to share my S-Pass just got rejected today lol.

It’s still pending yesterday but as of today the status is invalid and the explanation is just

“Your application has not been approved.

Please talk to your employer or agent.”

I am not pretty sure when the employer submit my application, but I assume it’s between 12-13 Jan, so it’s been two weeks pending before it gets rejected.

Actually my offered salary is 7k, so I am quite confused why it’s categorised as S-Pass not EP. Any clue guys?

Anyway, I’ll ask the employer if they will appeal or not. Wish me luck!

Either the employer specifically applied for an S-Pass, or your individual EP threshold is above S$7k/month - check the SAT tool!

@Stevenf444 maybe you have criminal record in australia
