Did you apply the EP on your own? If anything, I think your employer should help you sort this out.

question here
if re-entry permit expires, still considered PR?
cause retire = no income...i doubt ICA will renew the REP
so if REP expire, no longer PR...how to hold the HDB?

Rental income under personal income = pay personal income tax. Assume income is the major factor ICA look at for renewal of REP.

Other way is CEO cum CFO cum COO cum CXO of crazykid pte ltd, turnover 100mil, but overhead 99.97mil, just pay minimum tax for 30k. Pay another few hundred to find ppl make your account look good good. Or join some companies as sleeping director, each month receive some salary by parking your name there.

REP expire, just stay in SG don't go anywhere then = your PR still remains lo

REP can be renewed online before it expired, and is usually approved immediately, done that for my whole family, and remember to save the digital copy so you can reprint it when needed.
if it expired, then have to go to ICA with employment letter from employer, and is renewable on the same day, happened to my colleague. he forgot that his REP expired, and is blocked from using the automated clearance when he tries to go JB.

u do know that REP renewal can be rejected too right?

guys, if i were to rent a room that does not give wifi, can i apply my own wifi ?how much does it cost .. and what bank do u think i should open and account for salary to be credited into it ?

You can consider opening in ocbc. For their ocbc 360 account they give you 1% interest if you credit your salary.

For WiFi you have to subscribe though telco. Performance will be similar to 3g/4g you get on your phone. OK for streaming video but If u want play game may have latency issue. I doubt your landlord will let you subscribe land line as cabling work is required

for convenience sake, posb/dbs. lot's of atm around

Anyone working with PPL shipyard?

I just got offered for commissioning eng. Position. They offered me 3.4k with 8 dollars OT cap at sgd200. Others quite standard.

Package is not great. I am still looking else where for better offers. I have 5 years exp in o&g.

What do you think guys?

I heard that shipyard give 8.1 months bonus. reign226 is this true?

yes of course, which is why i said "usually" approved immediately.

how does the OT works? $8/hr OT?
Since you are claiming to have O&G experience why not join major refineries like Shell, Chevron, ExxonMobil, SRC, Singas, JAC or something similar? Why settle for crappy package? Unless by saying you have 5 years exp in O&G is actually on vendor/supplier side, which amounts to almost, nothing.

called them today to ask for the status, they said it is their problems regarding the rejection for the EP as they clarify that my documents ( certs ,transcripts etc)are sufficient.

The HR help me resubmit again.

I see! As far as I am concerned, you have no power over the EP application other than providing the correct details and sufficient documents. Keep us updated and all the best!

what happened after EP is approved ? I need to go MOM to get the physical card ?

U hv to MOM at Clarke Quay to register your thumb print and take photo. After 2-3days, the EP Card will send to your company.

so u just collect the card from your HR.
