Re: EP Processing Time in Dec 2020/ Jan 2021
Hi All,
6 years exp, BFSI, first time EP application.
Employer told me applied EP in January last week, but dint share the FIN number. I tried checking from passport number but no record found. Stayed patient, as mentioned by several posts in forum.
I followed up with employer on February 15 and they mentioned that my background verification was just completed today, and thought EP application was in pipeline (whatever that means) they will apply today.
On 16th I could see the pending status on EP ONLINE, bdw you can check using your own passport number under requestors FIN and then own passport details on foreigners travel document.
The status chaged to Approved on February 23rd, so total processing time of 7 calander days
Just a last question on this thread; the status says Employment Pass approved, it would be EP and not an SP right? I know my employer has applied for EP only and the salary is 9-10k+, so hoping that it's a EP and not SP that got approved. How will I get to know till employer mails me.
And if anyone can help with estimated timelines on next steps i.e. IPA issuance and DP application to approval?

Since your EP is approved, the employer can download the IPA now, and can proceed with DP application, if not done yet. Before Covid-19, DP application took about 2 weeks.SingaporeEP wrote: ↑Wed, 24 Feb 2021 7:54 pmHi All,
