How long does EP take to prosses

It's common (and recommended) to get an approval-in-principle (AIP) before arrival, so you can basically start working from day 1 and then just go to collect your EP when it's ready a week or two later. Although sometimes it can take much longer, depending on the phase of the moon or whatever.

I applied before I got here, a couple of weeks, but it seems like either the MoM or my company didn't do anything with it. Anyway, they chased up the application and got a provisional letter or whatever it's called and then once I had (re-done) the medical etc. it was just a case of sitting in the MoM's (Ministry of Manpower - sounds like something off) big room. I got number 350 or so. The counter was on 100 or so. Loooooong wait. 5 hours later I had submitted my passport, the letter of intent (or whatever) and my medical report. 3 or 4 hours after that, I came in again (less waiting, different number system) and picked it all up.
Maybe it was my company did a lot behing the scenes, but it was all very painless (except for the waiting) for me.
Good luck. Get in touch if there is anything else you want to know.
(can someone send me one of those private message thingys, because it never lights up and makes me feel unloved).
