Hi guys,
I think I have miscalculated and overstayed my social visit pass by 1-2 days (I was planning to do a visa run to JB tomorrow but now realise my mistake) and only have the long-term social visit pass "in-principle letter of approval" which probably doesn't help.
What should I do now?? Should I go to the ICA or to my embassy for help?? Will it affect my EP application and could I get deported? I'm worried :s
Thanks in advance!!

Yes all of the above, a fine is likely, you cannot avoid it by going to the embassy, best you go straight to immigration and explain you have miscalculated the days you had left. I day is okay more is questionable, it could effect your EP, you need to really put on a sob story to get out of this one.

Ok I just went to the ICA...the (very unhelpful) lady gave me a form and said that I'll need a sponser. The only sponser that I can think of won't be available for a few days. FML.

So now maybe you should ask your Embassy if you are stuck for a sponsor, they may take a small fee, for signing to keep you out of trouble.

Ok I managed to find a sponsor and got my visa extended to another 30 days with a fine of $40. The ICA also made me write a letter on the spot stating my reason of overstay. Nice and simple (phew!).
Thanks for the help guys!

Do you think Circuit breaker will end on 1 June?

What do you think? Since they are slowly opening up businesses, I think that's a bit of a good news?

Life restrictions will not end until we have either (a) herd immunity or (b) vaccine. Lock-down measures merely prolongs achieving the former (a).

After the Circuit breaker and if incoming visitors should do a 3 weeks quarantine? That should be rather safe?

There are obviously some hidden hosts in the community still. Even countries with zero cases are reporting new cases popping up occasionally.
