Hi Guys,
I am an expat from Pakistan, been here in Singapore for 3 years. My company has recently applied for EP renewal but unfortunately, it was rejected, they also made an appeal, but it didn't work out as well.
I am in process of PR application (I applied it before starting the renewal process). My company has notified me that due to my PR application pending, applying for S pass is not an option.
I want to make sure if that's actually the rule? Can PR pending candidates are not eligible to apply for an S-pass?
Also, can any other company would be able to apply and get an S pass for me? (Provided that salary/education etc. is enough)Or do I only have an option of EP in any case now?
Thank you. Your answers/suggestions would be very helpful.
Cheers.

Can an S Pass holder apply to be a Singapore permanent resident (PR)?
Yes. If you hold an S Pass and wish to become a Singapore permanent resident, you can apply through the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA). The application will be assessed based on ICA's PR criteria.
For question 2: That's for you and your prospective employer.
