EP Expired before EP Renewal gets approved
Hi,
My EP has expired, however, the EP renewal application is still pending for over 2 weeks. I am wondering what should I do now?
1. Am I still legal to stay in Singapore? if not, what I need to do to stay in Singapore?
2. Am I still legal to work base on a pending EP application?
Really appreciated!

I tried email MOM the answer I got is that MOM only communicate with the employer.the lynx wrote:Try calling MOM and ask for their advice since yours is still pending.Cornhusker wrote:Yes, it submitted about two weeks before my current EP expired.ScoobyDoes wrote:Did the renewal application get submitted before your EP expired?
And I contacted my employer too, not sure they can get anything more from MOM, they are thinking I may need to get a SVP for now.

But that's technically illegal for you to work on SVP, unless MOM themselves specifically suggest that to your employer in their communications.Cornhusker wrote:I tried email MOM the answer I got is that MOM only communicate with the employer.the lynx wrote:Try calling MOM and ask for their advice since yours is still pending.Cornhusker wrote: Yes, it submitted about two weeks before my current EP expired.

You could get yourself in trouble.

I know when my EP Renewal Appeal was under process the MoM did say they could extend my stay, if required, until an outcome was reached one way or the other.
The guy on the phone tried to fob me off by saying they need to talk to my employer, until i said i was the employer.......as well!
Short of that, take a visit to MoM with your boss, the person signing the application, and get it sorted out directly.

I tried to call MOM just now, same thing, only talk to employer, but mentioned something like charge/penalty as my EP has already expired.ScoobyDoes wrote:I know when my EP Renewal Appeal was under process the MoM did say they could extend my stay, if required, until an outcome was reached one way or the other.

I am contacting my employer to let them deal with MOM.

An update, my employer contact MOM, and MOM asked them to provide a letter so I can take a letter there for 30 days extension while waiting for final approval of renewal application.Cornhusker wrote:I tried to call MOM just now, same thing, only talk to employer, but mentioned something like charge/penalty as my EP has already expired.ScoobyDoes wrote:I know when my EP Renewal Appeal was under process the MoM did say they could extend my stay, if required, until an outcome was reached one way or the other.

Bumping this thread as I got a new case: a friend of mine, with expired EP and in the middle of downgrading process to SPass, entered Singapore via Tuas. He prepared the white card, gave it to the ICA staff, but the staff asked for the expired EP, didn't take the white card, and didn't stamp his passport (he was too tired to check, and just realized it on the next day). His HR said that it would be better to wait for the SPass result.
Or should he contact ICA for this matter?
