Ask About Working Permitt & EP Singapore

why dont you ask MOM?
Ministry of Manpower?

I am currently in Jakarta, and Employer is also not in Singapore, they are hiring a local Agency to proceed my Work Permitt/ EP,

I just want to know if it is good to work in SG with Temporary Working Permit and still able to apply an EP.

Thanks,

Hi fmurdani,

Did MOM tell you the reason why they rejected? Your salary SGD7,800 per month is quite high in Singapore.

As a diploma holder, You will be eligible for S pass and If you have over 4-5years professional experience with diploma you still could be eligible for EP. WP is normally for SGD<2,000 per month for service or hospitality job so you may not be permitted.

Have you checked your eligibility for EP through SAT(Self Assessment Tools)?
sat.mom.gov.sg/satservlet

SAT is quite accurate for EP.

Does your company is small ? big? local? or MNC?
This factor also could be affected.  How many years experience do you have?
What sort of job do you do?

Hi Jinho,

Thanks for you reply.

I have 7+years experience in related job, I will work as Telecomm Consultant for Starhub (Mobile Operator in Singapore), but i will work/ in Contract with an Agency based in Malaysia and the pointed local agency in SG to proceed my permitt.

The reason my EP got rejected is my Diploma education, and they said its strictly mush Bachelor..

I also have abroad experience (Canada, South Africa) I even able to secure USA Work Permitt 2 years ago.

I spoke with the agency many times tell him and ask him if Work permitt will be suited for me, and he said yes, its ok for me to use temporary work permit, and wont have any issue in the future.

Now, is that true if i go there with work permitt then i will able to apply/appeal EP?

It seems like the agency does not have a quota of S pass. As a diploma holder you are eligible to get S pass instead of WP.
note that S pass is pretty much same as EP.

3months contract could be problem because EP is normally permanent job based.
The agency is offered $7,800 SGD but 3months contract on your employment letter?

Hi Jinho,

The contract between me is initially 3 months, but there is Big possibility to work on the project up to 2 years.

not sure how did my agency submitt the application to MoM.

WHat visa do you think is best and legal do you think for my case?
