I went to Singapore on 17/09/2007 on social visit pass and then in order to extend my visit, I got an E-EXTENSION. During that period, I got an offer to work in a company in Singapore. The company itself applied for visa in MOM and the MOM approved the visa and I got an IPA letter from the company.
Based on that IPA letter, I took a Medical Fitness Test and got a Medical Fitness certificate. Then I went to MOM to change my visa from Social Visit Pass to Employment Pass.
There in MOM, I enquired the official authorities, whether I can change my Social Visit Pass to Employment Pass , without returning back to India. The official authorities over there said that I can change the visa there in Singapore itself without returning back to India.
Therefore, based on their suggestions, I changed my Social Visit Pass to Employment Pass without returning to India.
I worked on Employment pass for 1 year in Singapore and returned to India for personal reasons (marriage) on 27/11/08 , by Canceling my visa.
At this point , now again I wish to go to Singapore on Social Visit Pass and applied for the same 1 week before here in Chennai.
But I my application for Social Visit Pass in Chennai Singapore consulate
has been rejected stating the reason that ,”
