I had my EP renewal rejected once, and they did give the reason, but that was a few years back, not sure about the procedures now.

May i know what is the reason? How did you proceed thereafter? Did the company appeal for you and was it approved after appeal?

MOM/ICA never gives any rejection reason for work pass / PR application rejections. Anyway for EP rejection I think the company has to appeal on your behalf (since the company is the one that initiates the application)?
*
It is the company's agent that initiates the application. I am worried that the agent keyed in wrong information for the application. How to go about the appeal in this way, since MOM wont give the reason for rejection..

try call back your agent /hr to ask for the situation.

My HR last time fill in wrong info make my EP got rejected at first. But she make another EP application afterward , approved 2-3days  smile.gif

iiinm, appeal will take more days than reapply.
*
i emailed the agent and hr and told them bout the rejected application. All i got was reply from HR that they are working on it. However, when i check the ep status website, it shows rejected. no change to status. it has been a week since rejection and 2 weeks since application. i feel that the agent n hr doesnt care about the ep application. what can i do next?

no restriction on which day you can drive in.

only thing is the car is not suppose to 'stay' in Singapore for more than 18 hours, each day.
*
Is the "not more than 18 hours a day" an official restriction, or? Do they really track?

For any work pass holders, max 18 hours per day only.

Link: LTA website

However, any person who holds a Work Pass issued by Ministry of Manpower, who is also not a resident of Singapore, may drive a foreign-registered vehicle in Singapore only if ALL these conditions are met:

He is the registered owner of the vehicle.
He resides outside Singapore.
He has a valid insurance certificate and road tax to use the vehicle on Singapore roads.
The vehicle is kept or used outside Singapore for a total period of 6 hours or more every day.
The vehicle has an Autopass Card to validate its entry/ exit at Woodlands and Tuas Checkpoints and to pay for VEP/ toll charges.

I called up LTA customer service. They told me if the resident address in my EP is a Singapore address, I am considered a resident in Singapore and I can't drive a Malaysia car into Singapore. For my case, MOM did not even ask me what's my resident address, they automatically put my company's address (a singapore address) on my EP.

Is the LTA customer service telling me the right thing? Do the immigration check my EP address?

EP holder can drive Malaysian car into Singapore, no issue... my engineer holding an EP drives into Singapore everyday.
But from my understanding, as a work pass holder your MY car must not stay more than 18 hours per day in Singapore.
Meaning you cannot drive your car in on Monday, drive out on Friday... you have to drive out of Singapore everyday.

If you have friends and resources, you can do similar like my engineer... offer car pool service pickup passengers every morning near his house, ferry them into Singapore drop them at MRT station. He charges RM30 per passenger per day (2-way trip to and fro), that is enough to cover your daily S$35 VEP fee. smile.gif

Only PR and Singaporean citizen cannot drive a non-SG car plate in Singapore.

can i know if your enginner's EP Resident Address is in SG or Msia?
