It applies to all - including Singapore. Better just have it renewed to avoid any issues with Immigration. Takes only one hour now at certain offices.

Hi guys - will be keeping in touch with the thread too from now on. Will be in SG by the end of the month, EP approved :-)

Thanks! Yea, looking forward to it - a new set of challenges!

Will be working in an IT MNC, same company but in the SG HQ handling a different role. Planning to stay in Ang Mo Kio - rental is very high at the moment!

Exactly - the moment you have to start breaking it down into months, it means that your experience is still very minimal and it should not make much difference overall - regardless of how involved you were in the last few months

Got it within a few hours itself from the submission date of HR online earlier this month. Pretty efficient system. Have applied to open a bank account after confirming my flat lease - now pending the EP card itself so that I can proceed with postpaid phone line / broadband / TV application etc
