Renew Employment Pass
You can apply to “renew Employment Pass” if you want the pass holder to continue working for you.
- If the renewal is approved, the in-principle approval letter will indicate whether your pass holders are required to do a medical examination for you to get their passes issued.
- For pass holders who are currently on Stay-Home Notice or Quarantine Order and cannot do their medical examinations, you can request for time to get the renewed pass issued. You can also submit this request if your pass holders are waiting for a new passport.
- For pass holders who are unable to return to Singapore to have their passes renewed, please cancel the passes and re-apply for them when the COVID-19 situation has stabilised.
- For all other pass holders, please send them for their medical examinations (if required).
Note:
- Renewals are not guaranteed. Applications will be evaluated against current eligibility criteria.
