Huh can't understand. IPA is valid for 6 months isn't it? Your SG employer offer you a job apply pass for you and still willing to wait more than half a year for you to resign your Malaysia job?

Anyone from insurance field here (in this thread and in SG as well)? Trying to get more information on insurance plan + agents.

You are right, I read that 6 months period thingy, but my employer had in fact applied this pass in X June 2013 and on the first page of the IPA, it clearly stated "this IPA is valid until X August 2013", but we both are aware that I can only start to work in September, so the plan is now to finish up the pass thing by August and start working in September 2013.

and if possible, I don't want to spend two working days in SG to wait for the pass issuance, so I'm curious that can I enter SG with white card X and pass the white card X details to my SG employer, come out from SG without making the white card X invalid. Anyone has had that experience?

no luck he still have to go thru agent
hmmmph

You should double check with you SG employer ma... if i m not mistaken, IPA consider it as temporary pass, and your white card will stapled on the IPA, just show the CIQ should be ok.

I guess they are also not entirely clear on this as this is also their first time. Anyway, shall try going in with white card and exit with by using IPA later, see if ICA accept that.

Going in using white card and pass to employer, then they staple it together and give back you IPA with white card stapled on it should bring no issue when you exit.

couple lookin for place to rent around woodlands area
do pm if any info that can help

much apperciated

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.
You can.

I get my EP this month only, I travel daily in and out to work. Does this calm you?

Ok, white card got 2 portion, lets say 1A and 1B
Example:
22/7 you go in Singapore with 1A+1B, they take away your 1A, return you 1B
22/7 you give your company to photocopy 1B, then they use your 1B detail to register for appointment letter (In this case, I am assuming you got your IPA way earlier)
22/7 you get reply that your appointment with ESPC will be on 26/7, for fingerprint verification etc etc.
22/7 PM, you back to Malaysia, 1B was taken away by immegresen (else how you leave SG?)
23/7 you go in SG to work with 2A+2B, back Malaysia and give them your 2B
24/7 3A+3B, 3B return when u back
25/7 4A+4B....
26/7 5A+5B, you bring your 5B white card portion to ESPC, just let them know that because you are travelling in and out daily, so your white card detail is changing daily. After all the verification bla bla bla, they will tell you to collect your EP on... say 31/7, then they will chop on your e appointment letter, stated in progress, then staple your 5B white card on the letter too
26/7 PM you get out SG by showing immegresen your letter and the white card 5B, this time they will NOT collect your 5B
29/7 you go in SG with letter and white card 5B, you back MY with letter and white card 5B
30/7 same as 29/7
31/7 Go to ESPC and collect your EP, you need to give them the letter and card 5B
31/7 PM you get out with your EP and say bye bye to white card for next 1-2 years.

Hope above explain well. You are lucky that I am in good mood to type so lengthy, haha!

got 2 places to offer...

yew tee, common room, single person... start sept 2013

marine parade, condo, single room... start anytime

too bad ....need couple room XD

thanks for the pm guys

will contact u soon .

Thank you very much. Vincent, this is clear and very much appreciated. Knowing that I can produce different white cards (1B and 5B) really ease me much. Thank you very much

Haze back? Singapore gets the jitters from spikes in Sumatra hotspots


252 hotspots recorded yesterday.

According to a release, the Chief Executive Officer of the National Environment Agency, Mr Ronnie Tay, has today written to one of his counterparts, Indonesian Deputy Minister for Environmental Degradation Control & Climate Change, Mr Arief Yuwono, to register Singapore’s concerns over the sudden spike in hotspot counts in Sumatra and to extend Singapore’s support and assistance to Indonesia’s efforts to prevent the haze situation from recurring.

Still quite blur on converting my driving license

Can I just walk into jpj and ask for the form?
What is it called ?
Please

Hi all, i got a question.. i'm planning to bring my motorbike into SG and drive it daily here.. May I know how much I have to pay per day or whatsoever fee? Is there any regulations that prohibit me from driving here daily?
