My experience is if your previously employer can apply for it with a reason (like flight at later date or no flight or some specific info) - EP pending is not a reason to extend.

Cannot go to MOM office - please call them or chat with them via website.

I am waiting for an appeal status to come through for S pass. My STVP ending as well next week and I have asked my previous employer to apply for extension. Don't know if either will come on time. Fingers crossed. Technically it will come through before last day. What is the reason for extending Vi...

I am in similar situation, Waiting new pass approval while my STVP is expiring,my previous employer requested for extension My extension went through for 12 days, but still Flight booking is not possible hence going to re...

I also hear that - Degree certificate checks are requested now. In case someone is applying for EP, better initiate for the Cert verification parallelly. Degree checks are only required if your university is not listed in the automatic/drop-down box in the EP application - both my universities (for...

I'm in Singapore, had multiple EP's before. It's still pending for the last 23 days. Now it's taking more time - maybe there are further checks on the Organisation (esp. small companies with less than 50/100 employees). I also hear that - Degree certificate checks are requested now. In case someone ...

As long as you have a pending EP, they will extend your visit - be sure and do it!

Thanks, My EP application is Pending (been nearly 3 weeks - 18 days), and No available Flights.

Requested STVP extension through Ex-HR.

How long did it take to get the STVP extended?

Anyone managed to get it extended at MOM ?

Mine approved too.
Exactly 3 weeks (21 days). Thank you.

Did it take 21 working days (or like 3 weeks) for you ?

Wow, exactly 3 weeks (21 days).

For me it's 17 days now, Hope it comes through by the 21st day.

Unless you have a VERY good reason for not joining on the date as originally contracted for, I would make every attempt to start when you promised to. If you don't you have already told your new employer that the company's deadlines don't mean too much to you as you will do as you please. If you di...

With the tightening up of controls in September, you might not want to try it. However, technically, there is no reason you cannot. However, if the first one is not taken up and the second for some reason gets rejected and you are already here, your greed may have you hoist by your own petard. Do y...
