@ghimiredambaru congrats.

Just curious if you submitted your COE also to MOM?

EP6: COE in Singapore means "Certificate of Entitlement" and is an (expensive) permit to own a car. I assume you meant something else?

- @beppi

Hi Beppi, sorry for the confusion, what I meant was Certificate of Employment. My employer asked me to submit my certificate of employment for my 3 previous companies. I wasn't sure if MOM requires to submit also that. As per checking, these are the only requirements from MOM:

Personal particulars page of candidate鈥檚 passport.
If the candidate鈥檚 name on the passport differs from that on their other documents, please also upload an explanation letter and supporting documents (e.g. deed poll).
Company鈥檚 latest business profile or instant information registered with ACRA.
Candidate鈥檚 educational certificates (e.g. degree certificate).

Thank you.

As far as I know, MoM does not require Certificates from your previous employers - they do their own background checks if needed. But your new employer might well want to see them.

Hi Everyone,

EP application: June 16
Nationality: Filipina
Industry: IT
Occupation: Project Manager
Salary: 7,300

My EP was submitted last June 16 by my employer however, when i checked my status it says 鈥榥o record found鈥� until now. Is this normal or should i wait a couple of days for my information to reflect in the MOM system?

Hoping for your reply guys. I鈥檓 getting nervous as it鈥檚 my first time to apply in SG. Thank you.
- @EP16

Update: my employer called me as MOM is requesting for a clear scanned passport. Maybe thats the reason i couldnt find any records under my passport. Already submitted a cleared scanned passport today. Hopefully i can see my records in the next few days. Thank you. 馃檹馃徏

Guys, I have a quick question. Once I land in Singapore and my Employer file for Physical EP pass, how much time it takes to get the EP pass on hand? Plus Do i have to go through Medical or anything?
If someone can share the thorough process, timeline etc would be great.

Jjoshi: Your IPA will tell whether a medical checkup is needed. After your appointment at MoM for issuing the EP, the physical card will be sent within 1 - 2 weeks.

@beppi Thanks. It says Declaration under 鈥淢edical Required鈥� section. What does that mean?

HI All,

MY EP got rejected after 7 days.聽 It says "Your application has not been approved. Please talk to your employer or agent.

May i know what could be the reason or can this be re- appeal? Thank you and hoping for your reply.

- @EP16

Your employer can request the rejection reason from MoM, as indicated.

An appeal can of course be lodged, but whether it makes sense depends on how it addresses the rejection reason.

Document submitted by HR :聽 12 May 2022

Current status: Pending status as on 27 June 2022

YoE: 16y

Current location : India

1st time EP application: Yes

There is no even change in the status. It is still "PENDING - your application is being processed"

Just started to worry. It's been a long wait, still no fruitful result.

Fingers crossed.

I used to be PR, moved away for almost 10 years. I've been told EP application might take longer because of this (further background checks on my time in Singapore previously). Doesn't ease the anxiety though........

Applied: 25 May
Status: Pending

Nationality: US citizen
Currently in Singapore
Salary: >$20k

Industry: Tech
- @banananana

Finally approved! Applied 25 May, approved 29 June. Took a little over a month.

This is my first EP application.
