And the reason for that is because those renewals are being vetted like brand new applicants to ensure there were no fraudulent docs submitted and the experience originally claimed also existed. You see, they are having no qualms about not renewing people who have been here on work passes for 4 to 6 years already. I know. My S pass staff has dropped between levy reduction and losses on renewals from 55 around 4 years ago to 13 at the moment. Renewals are going through the same process as new applications do. Minimum of three months. That's why they tell employers to ensure that they apply at least three months early (but not more than six).ayemgeorgia wrote:that is for renewal not for new applications
