Ep apply from Jan to Feb

Open this one to keep a track of my EP application and for others applied at same time to share the experience.


Background: previous EP holder for 4 years, relocated back to my own country and EP got cancelled last Dec. Now new employer is applying for my EP and I'm waiting for it to come back to Singapore


SAT can pass for EP, new employer is also a global financial institution,but new job salary is lower than previous one, not sure if this will affect.


Apply through agency : pending from Jan 31 2023

Now still pending, haven't heard from MOM yet

I would say - wait for two to three weeks. Good luck :-)

@rrp88 Thanks! At first I have no worries at all, but finding so many failed cases and unpredictable standards of mom, I must say I'm really in panic

@zhaoxinhk You should be in panic...but i wish you good luck all the same.

I have applied via company agency since mid Jan '23 and still pending today

Mid Jan to now is under 4 weeks, have patience please. Stipulated/ average time is 6-8 weeks

EP Applied: 28/12/2022


Approved:17/02/2023(51 days in total)


The waiting period is long and painful, but don't give up. My EP application has been waiting for nearly 8 weeks. During this period, I doubted whether it would be approved, but all the waiting was worth it.

@Ryan SAA before approved did they asked you additional documents or mom sent email for rview need more time ?

@Syedhassan0191 Any update on your visa? In my case, MOM said "they need more time" 1 week ago. But no change in status or update after that. Status is 'Pending' and remark is 'Your application is being processed'

Still pending

@Syedhassan0191 Don't be nervous and don't give up, just do your own work. I have also been showing pending for more than 7 weeks, they just too busy I think.

@Ryan SAA so you got approved ?

@Syedhassan0191 Ryan Mentioned he got approved in 51 days.. How about your case? as your case and mine is pretty similar.
