It is impossible, from the limited information you gave, to tell what caused your rejection.

Please read the many discussions on this forum about potential issues - and come back with a clearer picture if you then still have questions!

I don't understand 'special work permit for us filipinos' Can you explain more

Correct me if im wrong. Work permit is for other countries except for us filipinos, but if youre a domestic helper, you can have a work permit. The agency told us that the company request MoM for special permit for us, thats why we filipinos can have a work permit in FnB industry. My friends got approval to work or to have work permit, but i am the only one who got rejected, and the reason that MoM gave is "the applicant is not eligible for a work pass. Please look for another candidate". I dont get why they give me that reason. Can anyone help me to explain this more?

@SGEA they called it, special work permit, i dont know why. Im new in sg. The agency told us that it is a special work permit.

@beppi  they called it, special work permit, i dont know why. Im new in SG. The agency told us that it is a special work permit. Correct me if im wrong. They cant give work permit for filipinos if you are working in FnB industry unless the company requested it. By any chance, Sir @beppi. Can you explain more about my case? I got rejected by MoM for the reason of "the applicant is not eligible for a work pass. Please look for another candidate". That is what written in the rejection letter that agency gave me. Please explain it to me. So that next time i know what to do, because im new in SG.

@Lucky Roux "This applicant is not eligible for a work pass. Please look for another candidate." is a strong indication that you will not get any work pass, no matter what you do. If you want to appeal, you should first find out what the reason is.

But I recommend you look for a job in another counry instead, as your chances here are low.

I'm Indonesian, and also got same rejection reason "This candidate is not eligible to apply for a work pass. Please look for another candidate."

I work as an IT Consultant and the company i have applied to had told me the chance of getting work pass is very low since they did not get the specific reasons why I got rejected from MOM.

I have few friends got rejected as well. I think MOM just stricted the prerequisites.

@Rezdwi There are a plethora of reasons the MOM rejects a work pass application. You may need to start reviewing all the minimum requirements for the specific work pass / work permit you wish to apply for and ensure you meet the requirements first.

Key areas include salary, educational / training background, work experience in the specific sector / field, overall work experience profile etc.

@Rezdwi

Hi Rez, a fellow Indonesian here.

My S-pass application was rejected with the same reason as well, the HR company is trying to appeal for it.

I was wondering, did you appeal for the rejection? If yes, how's the update?

Thanks
