EP Approval Time May/June 2022
@William Chang89Â Who is the employer??
@ramyavinodh When did they apply and the who is the employer

EP6: COE in Singapore means "Certificate of Entitlement" and is an (expensive) permit to own a car. I assume you meant something else?- @beppi
- Personal particulars page of candidate’s passport.
- If the candidate’s name on the passport differs from that on their other documents, please also upload an explanation letter and supporting documents (e.g. deed poll).
- Company’s latest business profile or instant information registered with ACRA.
- Candidate’s educational certificates (e.g. degree certificate).
As far as I know, MoM does not require Certificates from your previous employers - they do their own background checks if needed. But your new employer might well want to see them.- @beppi

Already submitted a cleared scanned passport today. Hopefully i can see my records in the next few days. Thank you. ðŸ™ðŸ¼- @EP16
If someone can share the thorough process, timeline etc would be great.
@beppi Thanks. It says Declaration under “Medical Required†section. What does that mean?
@beppi Makes sense, thanks again!

MY EP got rejected after 7 days. It says "Your application has not been approved. Please talk to your employer or agent."May i know what could be the reason or can this be re- appeal? Thank you and hoping for your reply.

@beppi thanks, beppi. I was informed by my employer that it has something to do with the company and will re appeal today. Will wait for another 3 weeks +++ for the result . Thank you. ðŸ™ðŸ¼
I used to be PR, moved away for almost 10 years. I've been told EP application might take longer because of this (further background checks on my time in Singapore previously). Doesn't ease the anxiety though........Applied: 25 MayStatus: PendingNationality: US citizenCurrently in SingaporeSalary: >$20kIndustry: Tech- @banananana
