Can I appeal Short Term Visit Pass extension though got rejected

Should be go MOM and tell openly about your problems & request directly to officers. Hope Good Luck. Thanks!

Same scenario with my sister-in-law. She got rejected and the current employer is trying to re-appeal for her. They said they are willing to pay for her penalty for overstaying but I didn't let her because it is too risky and may affect our landlord for keeping an overstaying foreigner. So we booked the flight on her last day 2nd of June. 
Your previous employer has to submit the request to MOM to extend your social visit pass. But as of the moment, MOM is only approving if your flight has been canceled or no flights available to your country. Another option is to get any pr or Singaporean to help you to request to ICA.
We didn't get to try both because the previous employer didn't want to help. But that's the advice from the MOM and ICA.

The erstwhile employer can request for an extension, too thin a timeline as I read- just work towards requesting them to extend your STVP and work towards your new job opportunity.

In all fairness, even if you get a new offer, your new employer will have to apply for the relevant work pass, work pass average approval time right now is 8 odd weeks- just wondering how many extensions would you have to seek. Don't think they do beyond 2, that too rarely heard.

Thanks for your reply. The local sponsor can be a friend or MUST BE an immediate family member?
