Hi Everyone, I had applied for new job, with EP, on 6/9/2021, but unfortunately to get rejected on 16/9/2021... the reason MOM reject is that my educational level does not match. I'm applying Quantity Surveyor position (same as my current job position & roles)with new company, have 2 years relevant working experiences in SG, having 2 certs : graduated bachelor degree with Sheffield Hallam University(UK) in First Class Honour & graduated with Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TARUC, MSIA), new declared salary $3,200, is in market range. Had gone thru the SAT, EP valid with $2,800. p/s: had just renewed with EP with current (old) company in August 2021 with the same educational certs and status is successful. HR has re-appeal for the rejection. May i know what and why MOM saying so my educational level does not match? and so far how long the appeal takes?

The minimum salary for an EP (fresh graduate, non-financial industry) is S$4500/month - more for applicants with higher education or work experience.
You cannot get an EP at the pay level you indicated!

Without MoM ever admitting this publicly, they seem to sometimes apply lower salary thresholds to desirable candidates from Malaysia only. But this is nothing you can depend on.

Noted, Thank You.

However, would like to enquire, when submitting EP application there is no need to submit any relevant document, such as educational certs?
