Hi. I understand that the Employer must pay application and issuance fees for EPs

What about for Dependent Pass for Employee's spouse?

Can company recover the fees from the Employee?

Thanks for replies. Landlord referred to them as his agent - maybe slip of the tongue. Agent refuses to answer my question about it. Not sure what I can do that won't cause me grief. Tempted to let tenancy run its course. Luckily I have the condition of the place when I moved in well documented with...

I used an agent to find and act as my agent a few years ago and to trigger renewal several times. Still in same place. Now it seems they are acting on behalf of landlord who considers them his agent so I am left without representation. Basically they switched roles without telling me. Is this allowe...

Just working this out in my head as there are 2 separate things here: 1. Regardless of tax clearance, the MOM link does say that final pay is due on last day of employment. So even for SCs and PRs (I am EP), is it the case that the employer does not have to pay them the three months salary until the...

Hi, I have a question about tax clearance. Scenario is this: 1. Resigned end of feb, 3 months notice period until end of May 2. IR21 filed by employer a few weeks ago - pending and IRAS say NOA will be done by tomorrow. I read this page https://www.mom.gov.sg/employment-practices/salary/paying-salar...

thanks for the answers To those that asked: I have read a lot on here (and elsewhere) about the pros and cons of PEP. At this time and in my current situation it is right for me. If at the end of it, I cannot get EP back then will have to accept that. Down to me to work hard on progressing career to...

I have a question about this. My company were going to cancel my EP today so I could proceed with issuance of PEP (I have IPA). However, they told me that if they do, they have to wait for MOM approval for me to continue working for the company and that this (a) is a little bit risky as might not ge...

Hi @abhicrm... Any update on your application? I applied last week. Would be keen to know from others how long it is taking now a days for approvals. Based on my experience and others on here, it takes a minimum of 8 weeks and there is no point chasing it until then. During Covid disruption, this t...

Sharing my timeline. Approved exactly 8 weeks to the day. DP for wife not showing as approved yet though (applied at the same time)

Chance is going to be very low Thanks. Anything to work on to increase chances or do you think or is it stuff I can't work on like race, age etc? Only thing is for you to stay longer and hope they approve you later. But PR is stepping stone for SC. Are you ok to give up your citizenship and change ...

Hi everyone. New to forum and working towards a long term plan to settle in Singapore. Currently waiting for approval for PEP and the plan is to consider PR application in about a year but I wondered how our chances would be as of now - and what I can do to increase chances when we do apply in the ...
