Hi,
My EPass renewal got rejected saying salary is too low. And the company is saying they will change my pass to SPass instead. My question is - what are the benefits of having EPass versus an SPass? What benefits will I be losing?
Thanks

My question to you is, how did you even manage to get an EP in the first place? Start here on the MOM website. https://www.mom.gov.sg/passes-and-permits

Re: Benefits of having EPass versus SPass
I received my EPass 2 years ago because I was eligible. I gave it for renewal and they said that my role should ideally have much higher salary (although I have much more than the minimum cutoff off 4500). There is an online evaluation tool that shows how much salary I should actually get for this role and then they will grant EP. Anyone have faced this similar issue? Not sure if my company will meet the difference and so they are requesting if they can move me to SPass. I wanted to fully understand any repercussions of having an SPass over an EPass and what benefits I will lose.

Re: Benefits of having EPass versus SPass
Yes I have seen the link and it is irrelevant to the question.
Question is simple : will I be losing any benefits if my pass is changed from EPass to SPass? In terms of if I’m looking for a new lease, any issues getting PR etc.
Open to answers from other readers too please.

PR will be harder. But then again, I suspect you don't tick enough of the other boxes that you should in order to get a PR.ColleenThomas wrote: ↑Sat, 27 Mar 2021 11:18 pmYes I have seen the link and it is irrelevant to the question.
