Visa Extension after EP termination
Visa Extension after EP termination
Hi,
I resigned from my previous job but my new EP was not accepted so I am on 30 days Short term visit pass. My wife is studying in student pass and she will complete her studies in next 3 weeks. I am therefore planning to go to Johor Bahru and come back again for one month extension. So, that me and my wife can return back to our home country together.
Are there any rules that will not allow me for visa extension? Do I have to stay for 1 day in JB and come back the next day? Or, can I go in the morning and come back in the evening?
Please help me.
Regards.

I already went to ICA firstwith a request to extend my Short Term Visit Pass and second time with a local sponsor. The lady at ICA told me that I need to exit the country and come again. I think this is a generic rules for all EP Pass cancellation who wants to extend the visa.
I was also surprised that a foreign student cannot sponsor his/her spouse for visit pass. This rule is BS.
Anyway, I am giving a try. Let's see.

Only a PR/SC can sponsor a visitor for a visit pass. Even an EP pass holder cant sponsor a visitor for a visit pass.plamsal wrote:I already went to ICA firstwith a request to extend my Short Term Visit Pass and second time with a local sponsor.

That is absolutely correct. You get a 30 day SVP upon cancellation of your EP/S pass and it is not extendable. You MUST leave Singapore for a minimum of 3 days (preferably 5) But I think if you are from an Asian you have to return to your home of origin before returning to Singapore (although that is probably subjective).

Really, if ICa has such a loophole a lot of 'students' will want to sponsor their spouses, and off hand I can count a rough number of 1000plamsal wrote: I was also surprised that a foreign student cannot sponsor his/her spouse for visit pass. This rule is BS.

ICA is right in that aspect .. I wouldn't call it BS ..
