  Hi,
  
  I'm a foriegner, come to Singapore on a social visit pass.
  I found a job in a big company that regularly employs foriegners and gets them E-Pass from the MOM, Singapore.
  I signed a contract with that company and they appllied for my E-Pass about seven days ago.
  However a few hours ago, I was told that my application for E-Pass (and probably for S-Pass also) got rejected.
  I don't see any reason for the rejection.
  Can I appeal? What is the procedure? Will I be granted an interview so that I can show documents, if needed? How long does the process take, as my Social Visit Pass expires soon.
  Thanks.
  Regards
  Arvind

  It is very difficult to get Employment Pass for singapore. The Ministry of manpower in singapore has tighten the rules. My friend applied for it, He also got refused. Why don't u try to talk with Immigration expert.

  Why don't you talk to the company and Tell them they should apply for your EP again. With this way your case will be more stronger.

  I found this on internet. May be it is helpful for you. See below

  Eligibility for Employment Pass

  Only eligible candidates will be considered for an Employment Pass. Criteria include a minimum salary of $3,300 and acceptable qualifications. Use the Self-Assessment Tool to check a candidate's eligibility before you apply.

  Who is eligible

  The Employment Pass is for foreign professionals who:

  • Have a job offer in Singapore.
  • Work in a managerial, executive or specialised job.
  • Earn a fixed monthly salary of at least $3,300 (more experienced candidates need higher salaries).
  • Have acceptable qualifications, usually a good university degree, professional qualifications or specialist skills.

  Use the Self-­Assessment Tool (SAT) to check if the candidate qualifies for the pass.

  Note on salaries:

  • Young graduates from good institutions can qualify if they earn at least $3,300.
  • Older, more experienced candidates need higher salaries to qualify.

  Note on acceptable qualifications:

  • We don't have a list of approved institutions. Instead, we evaluate each application on its own merit, based on a wide range of criteria such as global and country rankings, and enrolment standards.
  • Candidates without acceptable qualifications may not necessarily be rejected. Similarly, having acceptable qualifications do not guarantee approval.
  • We look at other factors such as proven track records and exceptional skill sets on a case-by-case basis.

  Self­-Assessment Tool

  We encourage you to use the Self-­Assessment Tool (SAT) to get an indication of whether a candidate meets the Employment Pass requirements. Candidates can also use the tool to assess their eligibility.

  If the SAT shows that the candidate is not eligible, you shouldn't apply for the Employment Pass because it will be rejected.

  If the SAT shows that the candidate is eligible, there is around a 90% chance that the candidate will get a pass.
