Hi Guys

I am currently on EP. I have a question on PEP (personal Employment pass).

If i apply for a PEP and get the PEP pass successfully. Does that mean i cannot go back to EP in future? Appreciate your reply.

The reason i am asking is i am expecting my job position will be impacted soon as my company is going through headcount reduction. So quickly want to apply for PEP which will give me 6months atleast to be in Singapore without job.

I think it's better for you to check with MOM directly.

Ther is no restrictions if you are under PEP, you can鈥檛 work under EP in future.

But PEP is one time only, it won鈥檛 be extended.

Note: If your PEP is expiring, you will need to get an Employment Pass or S Pass to continue working in Singapore. You do not have to cancel the existing PEP for your employer to apply for the new pass.
