You should ask the new employer to apply for a new Employment Pass for you. There is no need to cancel the existing EP before applying for a new one.
Your application will be considered based on its merits and under prevailing guidelines.
Yes, an Employment Pass holder is allowed to own shares in a Singapore-registered company.
Providing medical insurance is not a requirement for employing Employment Pass (EP) holders. Most EP holders may already have their own medical insurance, or may want to choose their own coverage.
For EP holders who do not have existing medical insurance, employers can choose to provide insurance coverage as part of their employment contract, or encourage their EP holders to get their own medical insurance.
The medical insurance requirement applies only to Work Permit and S Pass holders. This is in line with employers’ existing responsibility for the upkeep and maintenance of their migrant workers, including the provision of medical treatment.
Yes. The Work Injury Compensation Act (WICA) covers all eligible employees, including Employment Pass holders.
Employees have the right to resign at any time, by serving notice or by compensating the employer with salary-in-lieu.
As a work pass is meant for employment, employers must cancel an employee’s Employment Pass, S Pass or Work Permit within 1 week after employment ends.
Employers cannot use the refusal to cancel the work pass as a threat or retaliation for employment or contract disputes. If there is a dispute, both employers and employees should try to resolve it amicably or seek mediation. For salary disputes, you can approach TADM for assistance.
If your employer refuses to cancel your work pass after you have resigned and served your notice, you can contact MOM for assistance.
Yes. You can get your company’s EP Online admin user to add you as a user.
If there are no existing EP Online admin users, you can submit a request to MOM.
No, the employing company will have to update the particulars themselves or write to Work Pass Division to have the particulars updated.
Yes, but only if the EP holder has obtained a Letter of Consent (LOC) from MOM.
We recognise that secondary directorship positions in related companies, e.g. subsidiary, may be critical to the EP holder’s job role. As such, we would generally allow EP holders to take up such secondary roles by granting an additional “Letter of Consent”.
If the secondary directorship position is in an unrelated company, the LOC application will be assessed by a sector government agency that regulates or promotes the development of the industry. The LOC may be granted if the agency supports the application.
No.
Your subsidiary company need to apply for a new Employment Pass for the EP holder.
No. There is no need for more than one EP Online account. Under your EP Online account, you can allow up to 2 admin users and 4 users to access the eService.
Buying work injury compensation (WIC) insurance is only mandatory if you are employing manual workers or non-manual workers earning less than $1,600 a month.
Whether or not you have purchased insurance, you'll still be required to pay compensation for an eligible claim.
No, you do not need to apply for separate Employment Pass (EP) eService accounts. Your employment agency can apply for an EP eService account under your EA number. You will be able to carry out transactions on behalf of your client companies and for your own agency under the same EP eService account.
No, once the Employment Pass or S Pass has been issued online, the candidate does not need to extend the visit pass.
