Employment Pass eService platform introduced

IMPACT — MEDIUM

The Singaporean government has replaced Employment Pass Online with EP eService.

Key Points: 

• Employers can now use EP eService on the myMOM portal to apply, renew, appeal, issue, cancel or withdraw a pass (except work permits) and view the details of their transactions and organization’s profile.
• Pass holders can use EP eService to update their passport details and contact information.
• Individuals who submitted any application using EP Online will be able to continue these on the new EP eService platform.

Additional Information: Singaporean authorities encourage users to log in at least once every three months to ensure there are no irregular transactions; accounts without activity for 12 months will be terminated. More information regarding EP eService is available here.

BAL Analysis: The Singaporean government has replaced EP Online with EP eService to streamline immigration services provided to employers and foreign nationals.
