Hard Deadline for collecting EP

[mureed]

Hello there!

I have been issued an IPA from MOM recently to work as a Research Associate with Nanyang Technological University. The IPA was issued on 17-06-2005. I have been approved with a Q1 pass for 6 months.

I had entered Singapore on July 19, 2005, using the IPA. I had left Singapore on the same day to Korea, where I am currently doing research. The question which I had was that what is the last date for me to collect my Employment Pass from the MOM? As I have used the IPA to
enter Singapore on July 19, and have left Singapore again, is there a hard deadline for me to collect my Employment Pass by August 19? Or can I collect my EP anytime within the 6 months from the date of issuing me the IPA, as the IPA states? I am currently not staying in
Singapore.

Please do clarify this doubt of mine.

Thanks a lot in advance for all of yours' time and co-operation.

Sincerely,

Mureed
