Re: EP Processing Time Feb 2021 / Mar 2021
My EP was applied on 24th Feb, approved on 22nd Mar.
Studied 4 years + working 2 years FMCGs in Singapore. The process is definitely longer compared to a few years back (waited less than 2 weeks for previous EP).

Oh wow, after a month of submission? What is the query, if you don't mind me asking?
In a world where you can be anything, be kind.
Re: EP Processing Time Feb 2021 / Mar 2021
Well query I think was raised after 2 weeks, the company took 2 weeks to submit the docs post that..
It was some business docs from company and explanation of why hiring this guy.
I’ve heard its coming for everyone.

Did they also ask your company to verify your degree certificate if you didn't graduate from Singapore?

Re: EP Processing Time Feb 2021 / Mar 2021
As far as I know, this is not the case. Not sure if they are doing it internally or my new employer is just doing it and haven't informed me about it.
Any update on your end? or anyone else?

Mine is just getting re-applied today after we heard back from the 3rd party MOM accredited agency. So fingers crossed that it'll take 3 weeks, as stated on their website.
Will update you in case there's anything else that may arise.
But all the best to you. I hope yours come through very soon.

7th week is going to finish, still status is pending.
Jk - did you get any response?
Can we schedule meeting with MoM Officer ? To check the reason for delay because as per rule no other employer can file EP application when one already in progress.

No response.. still the same. HR said there is an audit happening and it will take longtime to get the approval. I spoke to mom already but unfortunately they can’t help much and advised me to check with the employer only on the delay..Kumar12345 wrote: ↑Fri, 26 Mar 2021 12:24 pm7th week is going to finish, still status is pending.

Can’t do much other than waiting

Hi JK,
The audit you mentioned is audit of the company you applied for or something at mom?

The auditing is done by MOM on my company but the HR strongly said they have enough quota and meet the other requirements as well hence wouldn’t be a problem. Advised to be patient and wait for the resultsm4yank wrote: ↑Fri, 26 Mar 2021 1:49 pmHi JK,

Re: EP Processing Time Feb 2021 / Mar 2021
My E pass got approved and I have one question:
If my last working day at my current company is on Friday, can I start work on the next Monday directly? Assuming my current employer cancel my pass on Friday and at the same time my new employer proceed with the issue of pass.
Does it work that way?
Hope someone could help. Thanks!

Congratulations guys... mine is still pending 
31320- Once HR cancelled your pass then they will immediately issue you STVP which will allow you to stay in Singapore for 30 days. And yes you can join the company next day or any other day you can decide by taking confirmation from your new employer.
