Discontinuation of Employment Pass Eligibility Certificate (EPEC) Scheme
The Employment Pass Eligibility Certificate (EPEC) scheme would be discontinued from 1 December 2011. We would no longer accept any applications or appeals from that date.
However, all EPECs already issued would remain valid until their expiry dates. If you have not already done so, you will continue to be eligible to apply for a Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) from the Singapore Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA). In general, a non-renewable three-month LTVP will be issued.
Thank you for participating in the EPEC scheme. For further queries, please refer to our online FAQs or contact the MOM Contact Centre at +65 6438-5122
