Like any other country, the officer could (not always) ask the nature of your visit, and you should be totally honest.BlueOrchid wrote: ↑Fri, 07 Jan 2022 10:17 pmThank you, that’s super helpful!
Hoping it will be closer to 2 weeks.
I will enter Singapore using my British Passport as a visitor if my approval in principal letter doesn’t come though in time for my flight. Do I need to advise immigration in Singapore that my EP visa is being processed?
Will be going with quite a bit of luggage as I plan to live in work and live in Singapore when the EP is processed, so thinking they might question why I have so much luggage.
In year 2018 my IPA letter was issued 4 working days after my EP application.malcontent wrote: ↑Fri, 07 Jan 2022 1:41 pm
The shortest processing time I have ever experienced was an approval within 2 weeks.
There’s also an ongoing pandemic… work-from-home was the default working arrangement last year too and we don’t know what is ICA’s current work arrangement. Just give it time.
Glad it worked out well for you. Generally, the more prominent the company and the higher the salary, the faster the decision.BlueOrchid wrote: ↑Fri, 21 Jan 2022 3:36 am**UPDATE
My visa application was submitted on 10 Jan 2021 and it was approved yesterday so it took just 9 days! I am absolutely ectastic particularly knowing how long it has taken other people to have theirs approved. I work for a large global financial company who used a local law firm to submit- I'm not sure whether this helped facilitate a quick turnaround.
A big thanks to everyone for your advice, especially to Malcontent. Pleased now that I don't have to worry about taking lots of luggage with me!
Good luck everyone with your visa applications!
