Hello everyone,

I have an EP but still stuck here in India. I have written many emails to MOM without success.
Has anyone able to go back to Singapore with MOM approvals?
I have also written to HCI asking them to help.
I felt useless being stuck here.
If you issue work visa to someone to work in your country but you don't allow them to work, isn't this a violation of international agreements?

Can someone comment?

I can understand your frustration. Try from Thailand or Nepal, getting instant approvals since march 15

Unfortunately, there is no international agreement on this - all visa issues are strictly national, meaning you can approach only the Singapore authorities about it.

Hi,

Do we have to be in Maldives while applying for the approval or can we go to Maldives after getting the approval?

TIA

Please refer to the recent travel ban news for all pass holders, due to the surge in Covid-19 from Singapore government. Only once travel resumes, would it make sense to apply for an entry approval/ travel protocol. For now, advice is to stay safe and not travel to Maldives etc, just to get stuck.
