14 days

7-11, ATM or at MRT ticketing machine

every 14 days, need to reapply again?

Yes but I’ve never renew. Just drive out to JB then come in again la

If your working in SG, and coming in and out, it's $35 for the VEP, you get 10 free days waived per year, weekends dont count. but you cannot keep the car in SG if you are working, the car needs to be in MY for 6 hours at least, and meet some other requirements.

As long we are not a PR, it is still acceptable based on the link. They did indicate that those holding work pass need to meet special condition (wonder what is it)

hi all bro , i will be visitting singapore via Air just for 1 day.

do i need to apply for a Singapore visa?
i am holding a Malaysia Passport.

It does mention about this in the website but did not explain further, I'm an EP in SG so I'm not sure if this is going to cause any trouble.

"A person who is not a resident of Singapore but holds a Work Pass issued by the Ministry of Manpower must meet certain conditions to drive a foreign vehicle in Singapore."

Anyway, say once VEP has been approved, where do we collect our autopass and do we need to install the IU or just the pass will do?

ASEAN nationals doesn't need visa to visit any of the 10 countries in ASEAN

As an EP last time I drove M'sia or even S'pore registered car, crossing checkpoints in and out no problem at all

IU is not necessary if you don't regularly pass the gantry. Otherwise just pay $5

Collect Autopass at JB. Activate the card on the spot and can drive into SG dy

Hi guys, just to share my experience working over in Sg.

EP approve in mid august this year, less than 2week to get EP after accept the role.

Lodge in backpackers place for 30 days as i get around 900 SGD. Ample time to hunt for room/place to rent.

Print out IPA letter and request company letter acknowledge your role and place of stay. If you rent hdb/resident unit, dont need this.

Fill in e-arrival card within 3days of arrival date. Download ICA Mobile app easier.

Once arrive, tell your employer u arrived and you will receive notification letter which superseded your arrival letter. I got the e-mail within couple of hours.Make appointment with MOM from their given link in letter for card,thumbprint and pic.

Buy EZ-Link card at MRT station. Taxi so far i only use comfort Delco app. Grab can also iinm.

Travel back hometown(KL)
Ticket bus i buy from redbus/Easybook but preferably travel with aeroliner..Hahah . Trip.com app provide good price on flight.

Open bank account.
-DBS preferred. Easy and alot of epayment can be use. Use company letter i mention before as proof of resident if u stay in hostel/hotel.
-existing maybank in MY can open SG account but need to maintain 1000sgd to avoid 2$ charge.

Hope this help.

Erm….Burmese need visa to enter Malaysia.

Hi bro,
thanks for sharing, i reviewed the video and some guidance online and it stated that "work pass holders residing in Singapore are not allowed to keep or use foreign-registered vehicles in Singapore"

I applied today and got the approval within few hours later... just an update to whoever needs it.

Thanks!

Thanks very informative sharing! Gonna start working there 7nov and havent found a room so I might look for backpackers hostel as well. Any suggestion?

Dear sir, thanks for the info.

Hi all, I got job offer in SG 2 months ago and my EP is approved. As I am required to go for medical checkup, can I go for medical checkup on that day I reporting to work (14/11/22)? HR insisted me to go for medical checkup and wait for report out then can start work. I dont want to have the hassle to come to SG and go back to KL as my rental starting date is 12/11/22 and my joining date is 14/11/22.

Please advise

Medical checkup result typically takes around 3days before the clinic shares the report.
Better check your company HR if they are okay with your arrangement.

FYI, there are cases IPA got retracted due to failing health check, so your HR would still insist on getting the result first.

Depends where u work at. I stayed in Runsack, bought through trip.com. Early book should give better price, 30days can get +-1k sgd range.


Check HR employer if they have panel clinic in SG or MY,better to confirm and get it done before arriving SG. Depending on what kind of check, you may get the result same day or in few days.
