How long will my work pass (EP, S-Pass, WP) application take

@Irishcristobal

Have you received an update on your application yet?

@TeeManXxg

Hi, its still on pending. How about you? Not sure if i need to reach out to MOM directly as my employer doesnt have an update either

@imc474745

For me I received a request for additional documents from MOM after 15 working days. Now it’s been about 10 working days since my employer submitted the documents. Still my application is in “Pending” state.

I think MOM would not respond if the candidate reaches out to them? But I think they would respond if the employer reaches out.

@TeeManXxg

Hi, that what ive thought. quick question your pass has been pending for how long now? Thank you

@imc474745

My application

May 26: Submitted by employer and started showing as “Pending”

June 17: MOM requested additional documents from employer

June 25: Employer submitted documents

It’s pending as of today.

How about yours?

Hi,

April 23 - applied

May 5 - requested for additional documents

May 15 - got an email from MOM informing me that they will require 3-4montha to review my application to see if theres fair consideration has been given to workers in Singapore.

up until now theres no update and still on pending status.

@TeeManXxg

Your case still pending? My case pretty same as yours.

@rambo123

My application is still pending. What’s your application timeline like?

@TeeManXxg

Applied on 23rd June. 2 weeks later got request from MOM for additional documents.

Then pending until now.

You haven't heard any updates from MOM? like they need more time to review?

@rambo123

I haven’t checked with my employer yet on any new updates. Gonna check with them once 3 weeks have passed.

your employer submitted the documents on the same day they requested additional documents?

@TeeManXxg

Ya the same date. Need to wait for around 3 weeks since document submission date right?

@rambo123

The MOM site mentions they provide an update within 3 weeks after document submission. But based on the reports here, it can be even longer too.

Hi Everyone,

What is the current trend for E Pass approval rates for first time application?

My application timeline

Submitted - 28th April(along with education verification)

12th May - got request from my Verification agency asking for passport (For verification) submitted it the same day. My HR mentioned need to submit it as well

After this , no other news. HR unresponsive when asked for updates.

Does it usually take this long. Almost 80 days and still no result

Can I consider that chances are it will get rejected and plan for other offers?

12th May - got request from my Verification agency asking for passport (For verification) submitted it the same day. My HR mentioned need to submit it - @Theee333

The verification agency mentioned here, is it the education credentials verification agency or your employment consultancy agency?

Did you ask your employer if they have received any updates from MOM or any follow up has been done with MOM?

@TeeManXxg

The agency which verified my education credentials.

My employment company has said there is no updates but they usually are unresponsive on my follow ups.

So I'm blindly waiting for now

@Theee333

Could you please tell us if your employer has submitted the EP application yet or not? Usually employers would do the education verification before submitting the EP application to MOM. From the information you provided, I think your education verification is not completed yet?

Once your EP application is submitted, you can track the status in MOM website. Do you see any records in below website when you enter your passport details?

@TeeManXxg

I am sorry if I was not clear.

My education verification was completed and application was submitted on 28th April as per my initial comment

However I was asked to submit my passport with the same company which did my education verification from my HR.

My status has been pending in the portal since 28th April

My application was approved yesterday.

Timeline:

May 26: Submitted by employer and started showing as “Pending”

June 17: MOM requested additional documents from employer

June 25: Employer submitted documents

July 22: Approved and IPA issued

For each MOM update, they took bit more than 3 weeks to process.

@TeeManXxg

the long wait is over! Congrats

Hello,

Is the S Pass processing timeline same as EP as most of the comments I have read is on EP but my is first time S Pass. My employer applied on the 20th of June. Its been showing pending although the HR said they sent an appeal for justification of hire to expedite the process.

@ladyonik hi, mine is SPASS as well and still pending.

submitted last 23 April

For those interested, my EP is finally approved. Timeline:

(Education cert verified by third-party comp already, which took almost 2 weeks)

June 23: Submitted by employer and started showing as “Pending”

Jul 9: MOM requested additional documents from employer

Jul 18: Employer submitted documents

Aug 8: Employer contacted MoM to push due to job filling urgency

Aug 12: Approved and IPA issued

So total >1.5 month of waiting. These days MOM seems to be very strict and careful in revewing EP applications.

@ladyonik

Hello are your S-Pass has been approved ?
