Hi everyone, my PR application has been approved. However, I'd like to seek advise on when to complete the formalities. 1. My last day with current company is 7 July 2023 (Friday). 2. My first day with new company is 10 July 2023 (Monday). My IPA is dated 8 June 2023 and is valid for two months. Wo...

Then you cross your fingers the PR result doesn’t get released so soon ‘cos formalities have to be completed within a certain amount of time and it better not coincide with your unemployment/leave. Now that travel restrictions are lifted, I don’t think they would extend the AIP for formalities. I m...

Hi, sorry for the late response. My question is more of a "gap" between the jobs and not about being lawfully present in Singapore. From what I read in this forum, one must always be employed when applying PR for EP holders and the application might be rejected upon unemployment. Even though there a...

Hi, I would like to ask a question regarding change of jobs during PR application. My PR application is currently pending (applied in Aug 2022 - 7 months ago). I have a job offer from another company which I am seriously considering at the moment, but I am worried it might affect the PR application....

Hello everyone, I would like to share my situation and seek your advice :) I am a fresh graduate from NUS, after graduation my Student Pass was canceled and I was given a Short-term Visit Pass of 3 months which will be expired on 2 Oct. I also applied for a 1-year Long Term Visit Pass earlier this ...

Hi, Currently I am in Singapore holding an LTVP, but I have received an IPA letter for my EP application, and I would start working soon under the new EP. Do I need to manually cancel the LTVP before the EP issuance on the first day of work, or just surrendering the card on the first day to my emplo...

@sg_jo, is it possible to update the outcomes of your STVP extension? I am in the same position, with my STVP expiring 20 May. HR has applied for the extension on 10 May, but still no outcome as of yet. I tried calling ICA too like @sg_xpt did, but they are telling me to wait for MOM's approval. I'...

Hi, I just want to give a quick update.

I have yet to hear anything from my HR nor MOM directly, but I did ask ICA for assistance.

I received a reply from ICA that my pass has been extended for 30 days by MOM via email.

I still need to confirm this with my HR, but I hope this information helps.

Hi! The first time my HR applied last month took quite long like 5-6days but this time around it only took 4 working days. I think shouldn’t be an issue ‘cause they are the ones who said to apply 7 days before the STVP expires. Good luck! I think I notice a pattern here. Looks like @siopau's pass g...

Hi! Just want to share that my STVP got approved. I thought they won't as the Covid cases has been continuously increasing. Stay safe everyone! Hi, may I know how long did it take for MOM to approve your request? My pass is expiring on 9 May, so my HR can only apply on 2 May. I am worried as there ...
