WHP, as long as your school is good, is generally successful
That's what I know from Asians who did Uni in OZ.
Around means .. Around, approximately, roughly....InternVen wrote:http://www.mom.gov.sg/passes-and-permit ... for-a-passecureilx wrote:Where does it say about the 21 day issue ?InternVen wrote:*

It says around three weeks in bold, under the submit an application section.

Or my English sucks
True true, I was wondering if there are other people on here for whom it has taken so long too. I did some google searches and found accounts of two people who said that they had received a reply within 6-10 days.

Therefore, with only two accounts to go by in 11 years of history here, that is surely NOT a good bet to stand behind. Most get their EPs in 2 to 4 weeks but some take upwards of 6 to 8 months. Go figure. Most times have lengthened in the last couple of years as the government trims it's dependence on foreign labour/talent or not so talented. You'll get it when they send it. Or not.

Rinse, Repeat ad nauseum until you blow a gasket and then go to the MOM site and send them an online message addressing your problem. They will normally get back to you within two days or a little less. 1.5 days? Remember, in Singapore, to seem anxious only causes more grief as they can smell fear even over the phone line.
There is a number on the MOM contact page for customer service complaints. The problem is the same as calling the hotline. Answering service and no damned way to get a human being. It's become like this because of the cutback in all types of employment passes, PR applications, etc. Everybody and his brother is trying to get in "under the wire" and are desperately afraid they are going to have their gravy train derailed and they will have to return to their 3rd world toilet sooner than anticipated.

I went through the whole process several time at the end of April/beginning of May when I was converting one of my S pass holder (my accounts exec) who is from VN and is married to a VN lecturer at one of the uni's here and is a PR. With the new rules I was able to get her off the S pass and onto a Letter of Consent (which there are no quotas for). But it was a frustrating affair but they did get back to me the follow day before office hours were over. I had also sent them an company email as well as the online version. Oh. I'm an HR & Finance Mgr for a local 200 man SME here. Also a PR.

So it all depends on how many have applied that are qualified and taken up the offer. Depending on the time of the year, I suppose it could be rather difficult. You are going to just hope. The numbers are not published anywhere so it's anybody's guess how many are still available at any point in time.
What's the new liquor law?sundaymorningstaple wrote:Congratulations. Probably the clubs/restaurants down on the quays aren't hiring as many foreign waiters/waitresses (western) as they used to cause business is bad what with the new liquor laws. They used to take advantage of the WHPs.
