Switching from EP to PEP

Post by VB2018 » Sat, 10 Nov 2018 7:25 am

Hi,
I am switching to PEP from EP. While applying for PEP, do I have to apply for a fresh DP and LTVP for my family and parents? They are already in Singapore on DP and LTVP which was issued to them through my current EP. There is no change in my employment contract or compensation.

Thanks.

Thank you!

Is it fine if I apply for DP and LTVP after PEP is approved?

Hi,

I had applied for PEP in Nov 2018 and based on the online status of my application it got approved in 3 weeks. I am yet to receive the IPA (in-principle approval letter) though. Any idea how long does it take to get the IPA? I guess I need the IPA to apply for the DPs for my family. Correct?
