Hi there, I was wondering if anyone who successfully applied for a Personalised Employment Pass from overseas could share their experiences?
In particular, is there any way to submit the application from overseas instead of submiting to a SingPost post office in Singapore? Did you need a friend in Singapore to do it on your behalf or is it possible to use an agent of some sort?
Did you have to apply for a Dependent's Pass at the same time, or is it possible to do it at a later stage?
Cheers

You may need a contact in Singapore to recieve the letter for you, like the embassy...or a friend you can ask to accept the letter for you.
Hi,
A friend of mine did this last year while living in UK. You will need a local contact to be listed on the application - a permanent resident or SG citizen. EP/PEP holders can't be used. Maybe you have a friend here or if you have a job lined up maybe someone in HR or your manager? The local contact is needed regardless of where you apply from.
Also you cannot apply online (or couldn't at the time, not sure now) unless you had a NETS bank card for the payment of the application fee. My friend sent the completed application & supporting docs to me and I submitted it at my local post office.
All correspondence will be sent to the local contact (unless you can give a local residential address for yourself). In my friends' case he used a colleague at his Singapore office as the local contact (I wasn't a PR at the time) and gave my SG address as his residential address for correspondence. All approved in about 3 weeks including dependents pass for his wife.
Hope that helps.

It seems that foreigners are difficult to apply then if they have NO local contact, right, even though they fulfill the requirement?

Correct. You need a local address. Can be a citizen, PR, or EP, so long as they have a NRIC or FIN number.skkamandy wrote:It seems that foreigners are difficult to apply then if they have NO local contact, right, even though they fulfill the requirement?
