Re: French EP + PRC Fiance - Long Term Options

Hi and thank you! I am aware of the changes you are mentioning in your post, but my understanding is that as long as one party is a resident (even with an EP like mine), it is enough that one party can be in Singapore for longer than 31 days to be allowed to marry.

Good Afternoon to everyone. I was years away from this forum - I am glad to be back even though I was not particularly active in earlier times. I am not sure a big intro is needed considering the topic. However in the last 6 years I have been in Singapore about 4 and an half - changing 3 company. (I...

Re: Stay on EP or PEP?

Thanks a lot! Yes, effectively I was away from Singapore from July to basically end of November, with the employment pass cancelled only in the beginning of October (due to some organisational issues). In the meanwhile I was spending about 7 days a month in Singapore and 23 days in China, and still ...

Stay on EP or PEP?

Good evening to everyone, I have an enquiry where I would love to hear the opinion from the most "experienced" on the forum.

Re: Currently EP holder. If I quit my job now and reapply for new job in the future does it make me harder to get pass?

Agree with Bro. Just to quote you an example: a former colleague of mine under EP had is EP cancelled by the company since he went on a 12 months work transfer. Due to the political situation of the place where he was sent, the company has decided to bring him back and they basically re-applied for ...

Company not doing the Tax Clearance

Hello, Trying to keep this simple. 1. My company has relocated me for a 12-24 months post outside Singapore. Since the starting date of my new employment was dependant on the second-country visa application, once the application was approved I left the Singapore branch, joined the second branch of m...

EP - Resigning while Abroad and not coming back - NO RUNNER

Hello everyone, I have a very tricky situation to expose. My HR is completely useless in this regard, unfortunately. My company has proposed me a transfer from Singapore to China. I have accepted the offer today, and it is going to take about 6 to 8 weeks to complete the paperwork for the transfer. ...

New Job - EP cancellation on 1/2/2018, can I start the same day?

Hello there! After almost 18 months in Singapore, I have decided to change job. I managed to land a new one, applied for my EP on the 12th of December and got it approved around the 24. Being myself on holiday at that time, I resigned only today, and my employer told me that my current EP will be ca...

Re: EP Processing Time

This is what I heard too, I think that this is a very delicate topic since nobody really knows how the things work.
So I would agree to stick with the official replies , it can take long, as simple as that.

Re: EP Processing Time

Without saying to much, I can tell you that the 14 days minimum processing time from May is an in-accurate information. I applied for my E-Pass in May and it took 3 days to get the Approval. Every case is different as someone said, and I believe that there are many things considered that we are not ...
