Your new employer can apply for an Employment Pass for you, and if approved the IPA will be valid for 6 months within which you should take it. But the question is, is your new employer ok to wait for 3 months for you to join the new company? Did you tell them that your notice period in your current company is 3 months? The Application for the new employment pass does not ask for your notice period with your current company.Duamutef_MC wrote:Hi there!
I'm back for another question; I hope you can be as awesome as last time!
I've received an interesting job offer, and they told me they are going to apply for a new Employment Pass (in substitution of the one I have right now).
My problem is: I have a 3-months notice. Is it possible to apply now for the new Employment Pass but specifying clearly on the paperwork that the new employment pass will come into effect three months from now, allowing me to finish my notice time?
I mean: is it possible to have a seamless transition from a job to the other? The alternative, which is paying a maximum of three salaries, is highly unfavourable.
Please make me know how the thing works; I've been browsing through various websites, and on this forum as well, and could not find the answer. Of course, thank you in advance!
No non-competition clauses, but only a 3-months notice.sundaymorningstaple wrote:Does you current contract have a valid non-compete clause in it? Where it might affect your ability to join your new employer? Otherwise, there is no reason why it cannot be "seamless" whatever that is supposed to mean.

You would have to cancel the renewal application currently in progress as there cannot be two applications in the system simultaneously as it will cause a major spanner in the works and may literally take several months to get sorted.
Is it easier to get one EP approved, and then immediately apply for another with the new company ? if my pass is expiring eg this month?
That's what I would recommend. Get the renewal sorted and done and then apply with the new company.
Many thanks!
Yep. At least they can know that you have applied to another company and whether or not it's pending or approved. They will not know, however, who the company is. It's how we track ours. About once a month I have my HR exec imput all our foreigners into the system to see who is looking. This is especially true at the moment as next month is mid-year increments........Anthony249 wrote:When you apply for an EP with another company, your current employer can track it, is this correct?
