Thank you for reply.

No, i am only able to print the web acknowledgment page. Is the manually application the cause?

I am not sure why u are not able to print the in principle approval letter but I was able to get a soft copy before the hard copy arrived. Actually I asked my HR to print it for me so I got it about an hour after it was approved.

Another point that I think can help you is that you should keep in mind that you need to make an appointment with MOM to get registration done so you should be aware that you are only allowed to make appointments that are scheduled after a week from your current date.

I have known EP manual apply take time over 1 month. One company applied for me EP manually. But the status is pending. During the time, I got another company's employment, they will apply pass for me and I also prefer this company. So I want to cancel the EP on process, which is applying from the former company. How can I do that?

You have to inform the first company which has applied the EP for you to cancel the EP application request. They can withdraw the EP application and you ( the employee) cannot cancel the EP directly by communicating with MOM

Also note that these days EP approvals are not so easy. So, please think twice before you want your first employer to cancel your EP application.

FYI, two EP applications can be in process simultaneously but the approval/rejection decision is still with the MOM.

SMS or MS or Saint or KSL, correct me if any of the above is wrong.

Thanks

The original Company and MOM are going to really pleased with you for wasting both their valuable time and resource!

EP Online is a great idea.
My new employer wanted to use it. And the appointed Admin user said he would. However he couldn't get it to work. He couldn't find anything like an "apply" icon. Under "issue" he only found his own FIN number. When he typed in my (previous) FIN number instead and pressed "search" nothing came up - we assumed he should have seen my previous employments.
We eventually gave up and applied manually now, but seeing that it indeed takes that long, I wonder whether it made sense to apply online again as soon as my employing company has worked out how to do it - in order to speed up the process?
How could I inform MOM about that duplication and withdraw the first manual application?
I couldn't find anything on the web of MOM abour prohibition of parallel applications. Thanks for answering a potentially stupid question.

Yes you can . It automatically removes one first

Have your HR Call them, there is a helpline for guide

Thankyou for the fast response,
that is good news, so I will try to call someone about EP online. Or rather ask the "Admin User" to call the Helpline. (They don't have a HR department, only 8 people in the company, it's a start-up.) Then just re-apply online.

If they delete the first application when filing a second, is that also true for a frst LTSVP application which is followed by an EP application? Do I have to assume that the LTSVP has been cancelled now?

LTSVP is from ICA , EP is from MOM

If you get either one first, you have to cancel the other pass personally

I was just called by someone from the MOM (as I had sent them an e-mail on Friday regarding our problem with the EP online account) and when I asked him whether I could simply apply for EP again (given that it eventually works online) he stated that I needed to ask my employer to withdraw/cancel the running manual application first, otherwise the second one would be ignored.

Doesn't this contravene to what you just said ? I am confused.

to clarify, the above concerns the case wherein you might have two running EP applications (one manually and one online) - not the case wherein one application is for LTSVP and the other one for EP.

The cleaner way would be to wait for the outcome of the Manual application. Or else next way should be withdraw the first manual application through a request by your employer to MOM and then submit an application Online again.

hm...given that I have to probably stay abroad until the approval letter arrives I might not want to risk that the EP Online application does not work after all and then the manual one would have been cancelled...
