Apply for a Dependent's Pass immediately if you are on an EP. If you are on an S pass then you have a different kettle of fish. She may have to leave the country and return. As far as a period of time? She can start looking for another position yesterday. No waiting period. If she was rejected for her qualifications you might have a different problem, but if it was because of the employer not being able to convince MOM that they needed to hire a foreigner that she still has a chance with another employer.papakutkut wrote:Hi All,
My wife's S pass just got rejected by the MoM. I wanted to know what happens now ? She is currently on a Short term visit pass.
- Is there a stipulated time that we need to wait for before looking for another job and applying for an EP again ?
What is your status here? If you are on an EP, just apply for a dependent's pass for her. If your are a PR, just apply for a ltsvp.
- If she transfers to a dependent pass then does the situation change in anyway ?
She doesn't have to leave Singapore until you do.
Any guidance will be appreciated ....
Thanks

In case of a dependent pass-
- when she gets one, and also if she gets a job, how does it normally work....i mean is her job linked to mine (e.g) If I am with company A and she starts working with company B after getting dependent pass, does it mean that if I leave company A, her job is linked to mine and she will be in trouble again ?
Thanks
But working with a Letter of Consent while on a DP is the 2nd best option as it does allow her to work.
for an S pass. Unless the degree is recognized by Singapore, it doesn't matter what the degree is in or how much experience she has. More than likely, though, the employer could not justify to MOM why they needed to hire a foreigner.
First you need to learn how to comprehend exactly what you read.marco rossi wrote:good day,
I'm an epass holder. I started working October 11. Jan 11 will be my 3rd month. I just want to ask, will it be safe if I apply for another job after my confirmation? will I be approved by MOM if I do that? or is it just going to be risky?
I've read at MOM's website that there'll be no need to cancel current epass if you're to change employer.
Or should I ask, when is the best time for me to change employer or to apply for a different job? some says after 3, some says after 6 months. Pls advice. Thanks.
This means, while your are looking for a new employer or after having found a suitable employer willing to give your ungrateful arse a job, the new employer is free to apply for a new pass. However, the issuance of the new pass is contingent on the current employer canceling yourpass in a timely manner. If you don't give the proper notice, the current employer may well hold your pass until the notice period would have been up, e.g. one month from the day you notify them that you want to quit. Additionally, the possibility exists, (if the HR exec has an HR Manager like me who instructs mine to check our employee's FIN numbers on the MOM site at least once a month). The current employer cannot see who the applying company is, but they can see whether or not an application has been made, whether it's pending or approved.I've read at MOM's website that there'll be no need to cancel current epass if you're to change employer.
