Just make sure you submitted to your employer a notice letter, or they gave you one, and have a copy, as in odd cases MOM randomly likes to see you are severing your employment properly ...Wd40 wrote:Yes the end date of your old company can be the same as the start date of your new company.

Thanks, I'll make sure to take such a letter. I'd otherwise assumed that the old company cancelling EP was adequate evidence of leaving on good termsecureilx wrote:Just make sure you submitted to your employer a notice letter, or they gave you one, and have a copy, as in odd cases MOM randomly likes to see you are severing your employment properly ...Wd40 wrote:Yes the end date of your old company can be the same as the start date of your new company.

I can't answer 1)/2), but this one I can.GSM8 wrote:3. If taking up new employment, EP will change, and bank, landlord, etc need to be given a copy of the new EP, but will the FIN number (for say Singpass) remain same? (again, the answer is likely that it will remain same, but wanted to check)
Unless you are from a visa on arrival passport, in which case you get a new visa when you return, you shouldn't leave while on the 30 day visa. It is not extendable and is not multiple entry.GSM8 wrote:A few further questions on this topic.
1. As was clarified earlier in this thread, on the last day of employment the current employer cancels the EP, retains the card, and shifts the outgoing employee's status to a default 30-days SVP. Within these 30 days one then needs to either clear out of Singapore, or take up new employment. So, can one exit Singapore on a personal trip after say 3 days, and re-enter on the same 30-day SVP status say 5 days later, or once one exits must one re-enter as a tourist (showing the new IPA/employment letter as intention to take up employment)? .
No auto clearance as soon as you cancelled your Ep, that's how it was before.2. If it is allowed (which I believe it is, but just wanted to confirm) can one continue to use the automated clearance gates at Changi immigration?
Thanks for the details JR8 and ecureilx. I am from a visa on arrival country so re-entry shouldn't pose an issue. However, I am assuming from your post that the 30-day SVP expires on first exit from Singapore (even if that's after 3 days). In such cases, once the SVP ends, technically one can no longer hold an apartment lease in the interim few days until getting the new EP - would you know if that is indeed the case, or does having an IPA legally allow for continuation of lease in the interim?ecureilx wrote: Unless you are from a visa on arrival passport, in which case you get a new visa when you return, you shouldn't leave while on the 30 day visa.

If you have your next IPA and it states it's good for travel to Singapore or you get visa on arrival, no worries.
Adding on to JR8, IPA is approval .. technically you haven't obtained your pass till you fulfil additional conditions, like medical, if required.GSM8 wrote: Thanks for the details JR8 and ecureilx.
