Hi jitshiong, saw your reply to another member in previous thread as shown below:





Now I have the same noob question , I got the IPA letter and all relevant documents (med report and etc) in order, however, I had been informed by my future admin/ HR colleague that they need my white card a.k.a. IMM27 number to further proceed their online application (EP Online) for my spass.

Would like to know if I could enter Singapore with white card X and give them the X No., leave SG immediately; or I would need to stay in SG with the white card X until they finish processing my application?

Preferably the former as I need to work in weekdays, possible? Thank you.

I saw the website state u need to earn at least SGD$3000 to apply employment pass, is tat mandatory?

u just go get ur spass then only go back to malaysia
u need to handover that white card when u collect ur spass i think

you submit your white card and mention that you will be going back malaysia while they process. at the immigration when you want to go out just bring your application documents then they will scan when you go out and scan again when you go in. I even photostat the white card just in case any problem.

I did it the last 2 weeks.

No worries, just when your appointment, give them the white card which you coming in (the X No. not necessary same as the time you apply). They will chop on your appointment letter, and then staple ur white card with it. Show to the custom and they will scan but return you the white card. The next day just come in as usual, with the appointment letter (chop) and the white card (remaining), until you collect ur pass, MOM will collect ur white card and issue you the pass.

No. My friend who earn much lesser than that get epass too.
It pretty much depends on your company (maybe the quota etc, not so sure)

all sifus here

I will be going MOM for fingerprinting this weekend.
However now my IPA and medical reports are all stated my old passport number (yes i renewed after the application)
I wonder there will be any issues..I don't want to go through the process all over again

Thanks mate.

You mean I could fill up white card 123, take down the details/ photostat it (forward to my future employer, let them to proceed with EP Online),
use white card 123 to enter into SG, let SG immigration officer tear down part of it,
then U-TURN, let SG immigration officer check on my application document and tell him that my pass application is in process, the officer will then scan the bar code on my IPA letter without collecting the smaller part of my white card 123 and I will leave SG with smaller part of white card 123.
When my future employer contact me for the ESPC appointment date later, I will then go into SG by showing officer the IPA letter(let them scan), and surrender the smaller portion of white card 123 at ESPC officer when submit photograph/ verify finger print and documents.

Is this what you mean?

Yup thanks, that's one of the common things that I understood.
Problem is my IPA is only valid until beginning of August, and I can only start to working in SG after August, so I simply can't apply few days leave to wait for the pass issuance as I'm still working here in MY.

Hi Vincent, you mean giving my white card to who ? during my appointment with who? fingerprint verification appointment with ESPC?

the problem is, according to them, they need a white card details from me in order to book me an appointment with ESPC. So after entering into SG, after giving the white card no. to my future employer, do I stay in SG until some documents is given to me or can I leave SG with just my IPA letter?


cause from what I read from MOM website, my future employer would need to print out a notification letter after they have done all the steps required, this is before booking the fingerprint verification appointment.

my question is can I leave SG before they print out the notification letter, or do I stay until they print out the notification letter and email to me, so that I can leave SG with the notification letter.

I don't quite understand why you need to come to singapore then U-turn out again. I thought you are already in Singapore? Or are you travelling JB-Singapore daily?

I'm just saying that in order to get out of singapore once you have submitted the application, just bring your documents along when you exit singapore and the officers will understand and do what they need to do and you go out and come back with the same white card. Just my experience.

I am from KL but working in Singpore now. Whether to buy a property in JB or KL ... which is better.

I U turn cause I need to work in JB on the following day and I don't wish to take leave (in JB firm), but I would need to work in JB until end of August before I can start working in SG in September. However, we need to proceed with my pass application as my IPA expires by early August, next month.

So I'm wondering any method for I to collect my pass within next few weeks without / or minimize leaves that I need to take in JB company.

So I thought you were saying I can enter SG with white card at night and notify my employer that white card no., and leave SG in the same night. Then on the next working day, my employer can use the white card No. to book me the appointment time with EPSC.

what's your long term plan? buying a property for investment purpose or accommodation purpose ?
Sure here got a lot of KL dailou daijei can answer your question.

hi there

need ur advise for my fren

currentlsy stayin at tmn daya(mount austin0 but will start work near IMM building (jurong east mrt)

not sure whether to rent a room or travel by public transport

previously was working at woodlands so not so bad .

appreciate.

buy in sg better... no need pay rent

ermm, depends on your liquidity needs... short term FD lor, medium term reits / stocks, uber long terms those savings plan by insurance pushers

if u had read my analysis earlier on, better to put in msia FD if you r willing, the yield vs ex rate still favors msia and sgd:myr is at a high level now

yeaps... yield is still there and principle amt had dropped a lot

when you leave you got to report to msia's income tax authority... they will tell you what to do

dont risk it, it is peak hour and there's a change in line

supposing this year, but my coy still manages to hire below 3k

wow, it is going to be far.. there's no public transport direct to imm, from mrt at j.east still got to take free shuttle to imm from jcube

Good idea... Since I already got 1 property in Puchong.
