Hello,
I am moving to Singapore from India on EP and i received IPA letter with single journey visa. Could you please tell me if this IPA letter is enough to clear immigration in Singapore or any other documents required.
Also, advise me where to look for stay as my office is located near Seletar Aerospace (Dist 28).

To just clear immigration you will need your passport and IPA. Nothing else.
For collecting your EP card later, the documents needed will be mentioned on the IPA letter.

Nathan86,
Just want to know how much time did your EP application took to get approved?
Have a good stay in SG.
Regards,
Shiv

For Indian applicants, IPA serves as a single entry visa.
What other documents ?
Your employer or MOM - in rare circumstances, May want to see your credentials and documents, in original form.

I received a job offer in Singapore. I also received an IPA presenting Single Visa Entry of Singapore. Against the same, I entered Singapore on 29th Feb 2020, however, due to a family issue, I had to leave Singapore on the same day (29th Feb 2020) to my home country.
Therefore, I am yet to receive the work pass.
Currently, I don't have the entry visa of Singapore and am facing problem to find out the best procedure to apply for the same.
I will really appreciate any help provided at your end.

Has your employer
issued your Pass or not via EPOL?
If he has issued you would have got the
notification letter,
The notification letter:
It allows them to start work and travel in and out of Singapore while waiting for the pass card
Is valid for 1 month from the date of issue. Request to extend the validity if you have a change of travel plans.

If you employer advised you to apply at your own capacity, you need to just apply a SG visit pass from the approved agency at your home country, you will be asked purpose of visiting SG, simply mentioned your work and approval. That should gain you a visa, get down here and do what you have to.

Hi guys, just to clarify, once you get the IPA we need to enter Singapore with showing a copy of it. Now to collect EP pass, we need to do a medical test. Can we do the medical test from my hometown?
Thanks again

Medical test from SG doctor is preferred. Any specific reason why you need to do it from hometown? Reading your other thread this looks very fishy.

I am really having a problem with this post. You say you arrived on 29 Feb and had to return also on 29 Feb due to a family problem. Aside from a death or birth in the family, how could 6 hours create such an issue that it would be necessary to return home the same day without at least getting your pass issued and your new employer notified of the issue. After all it is less than 6 hours to your point of departure to Singapore. If the reason is valid enough, just apply for a standard social visit pass in your home country and enter Singapore as a tourist. That will be no issue and you can then get your pass issued, etc. Yes, you will need to pay for your visa, but that better than losing the job isn't it?
