...and yeah, I probably should call MOM and ask, but usually this forum is faster and more accurate

The new EPSC at Riverwalk is really slick, feels more like an airport lounge than the old zoo at MOM, and the registration took all of about 5 minutes.
The only problem with the new system is that nobody in Singapore accepts the "notification to register" paper as an EP, no matter what it says and how many stamps there are on it, so you can't open bank accounts (at least at UOB), phone lines etc until the EP card is ready. UOB also requires a "proof of residental address" in addition to the EP card before they'll open an account for you.
I believe you will need to apply for the entry/exit card to use the automated gates.ScoobyDoes wrote:One thing about these new EP..... can we use them for the Auto Gates at immigration in Changi? The ID card i have from Hong Kong with fingerprint etc. let's me in and out of the country in about 20s.

I opened my UOB account without EP card being issued, only based on my contract and office address although, which was fine, they said I couldn't get a credit card until the card was issued.
