Hi All,

I am from India and i worked in Singapore from June 2018 to November 2020.I had to come back to India due to some personal reasons.Now my ex-client(Bank)is giving be a job offer so a vendor company will be applying for my EP soon.

I want to know the time taken for my EP to get approved or rejected given the pandemic situation.

Thanks.

Couple of days to a couple of weeks. How long is a piece of string?

Thanks for the revert.One more thing is I didnt close my DBS salary account when I left SG last year.Will this be viewed by MOM as a mistake while they view my EP application this time?

A DBS salary account is your account. if there is zero balance in a month or two once the money has dried up and cannot pay the $2 or $4 monthly fee, DBS will close the account anyway. Banking, aside from the government requiring salaries to be paid into bank accounts, is still a personal matter. The only issue is unpaid credit card debts or loans, etc. Otherwise, nothing to worry about. In fact, you can go back into DBS and open another account. It's not an issue.
