EP/S-Pass application for those outside Singapore - Covid 19

sree.india.14

Hi, I had earlier got EP approved to join a leading FinTech Company in Singapore in early 2020. However, due to the pandemic, I was not able to fly to Singapore and the EP Expired. My employer is currently willing to apply for EP. I went through the forum and found that most EP/S pass approval / renewals are for those inside Singapore.

Is singapore approving new EP applications for those outside Singapore? Any one got EP approved recently from outside Singapore?

As per my knowledge, in the current situation,  SG not yet started allow to apply EP for outside applicants. (Only able to apply for Locally available applicants)
Hope to SG may start accepting the outside applications in the upcoming months.

Hi @sree.india.14

As a french citizen, I'm currently in France and blocked here since last september.
My company applied many times and I recently got my application approved (2 weeks ago) for an S-pass. When the application was made I was only eligible for the Spass, but I'm now eligible for the EP and I dont know if this will be take into account by the MoM.
But at least I have now my IPA but I'm still waiting for the entry approval.
