QUOTE(whatla @ Oct 31 2013, 05:39 PM) Hi, I recently just got a job offer from singapore but I have yet receive any offer letter.. EP is with the Ministry of Manpower(MOM) SG....even if you have signed on the offer letter...if your EP/SPass/Work pass is not granted from MOM..its still a NO GO....so your answer to your question is depends...even if the company offers u and u sign...there will be a term/clause to say that if MOM rejects your 'whatever' work permit/pass that offer letter is no longer valid...However, I spoke to the HR on the phone saying I got the job and will will to apply EP for me.. But the question is 'Is it possible to apply EP without me signing any offer letter?' I am quite confused here.. OR the other way to look at it is that the company will give you an offer letter once they have a greenlight from MOM to get u onboard their company..

IPA == In-principle approval by MOM to company, so that the company may go ahead and hire that person stated in the IPA letter

QUOTE(studyboy @ Jan 1 2014, 09:17 PM) This is good news to me!! What about a bank account? Can I open one with an IPA? there's no EP lane....u will still need togo thru the normal lanes.... Edit: Thank you! In addition, which lane should I use when passing through immigration? Can I enter Singapore via the EP pass lane using the IPA? Apologies for barrage of questions! I am just slightly overwhelmed that is all. Any form of guidance will be much appreciated!  |

QUOTE(Fiona Chin @ Jan 2 2014, 01:38 PM) Banks take both the IC and Passport no. Passport also have IC. no. in the front page. Some lazy one will scan only the passport for record. The IC no. is to prevent your same name brother or sister come saying passport expired donkey years ago and his passport is the new one to claim your money. infact SG Banks here accepts Malaysia Blue IC to open up a savings account.... |
