Spass and EP application at the same time

Post new topic

Camsran

Hi. I recently got 2 job offers. 1 ep and 1 spass. My EP was rejected so I went for an interview today and passed. The employer immediately applied my Spass. However, the rejected EP application employer appealed today. But there’s no assurance still that it will get approved. Question is, it is possible that 2 different companies can apply 1 candidate for spass and on the other hand EP? Is there conflict on this or MOM has to reject both or whoever approved 1st if both application submitted at the same time?

I called MOM today. The agent doesn’t know the answer as well. Hence, she submitted it to her supervisor and told me they’ll get back to me after 3 working days. The Spass application was submitted by 8:11 pm last night. The appeal for EP was submitted 10:01 pm. Same day. The submission of both went through but the result is about to find out.

@Camsran It is not normally allowed to have two work pass applications ongoing at the same time. The one that was submitted later will be rejected and only the first one processed.

Hi Camsran,

For EP,if you have completed necessary background check, hope to approve it. You made me motivated for job search as recently in Singapore very difficult to get offer.


Hope your work pass approve soon!

Update:

The MOM called me this morning. They will process both and no conflict, but of course only one application can be approved. Meaning, you can submit 2 applications at the same time. Can be 1 Spass & 1 EP by different company. But, you just have to choose. I told my agent about it & she told me to wait which one will get approved. I think I should wait for the result before withdrawing the other one. I’ll update once the result is out.
