Miscellaneous Work Pass - When you apply

Application Process

Miscellaneous Work Pass applications can only be made through a manual application at SingPost.

Applicants are not required to be present in Singapore while their applications are being assessed. For applicants who are already in Singapore at the point of application, MOM will not grant an extension of visit passes that are due to expire on account that the outcome of the applications is not yet known. Employers are advised to bring in applicants of Miscellaneous Work Passes only when the outcomes of the applications are successful.

Step 1: Submission of Application

Download Miscellaneous Work Pass Application Form (Find out more on the eligibility criteria and important information before you apply for a Miscellaneous Work Pass.)
Submit the completed Miscellaneous Work Pass Application Form and supporting documents in person at any SingPost post office (MOM-appointed collecting agent).
A $40 administrative fee will be charged for each application submitted and payment can be made at SingPost using cash, NETS or CashCard.
A SingPost payment advice slip will be issued at the post office upon submission of an application. All applications will be sent to MOM.

Important information:

To ensure that there are no delays to the application, it is important that the application forms are carefully completed and relevant documents indicated are submitted. Please note that MOM and other agencies takes three weeks to evaluate and process your application. Local sponsors who fail to give the due time allowance will result in their applications being rejected.

Step 2: Assessment and Approval

The application outcome will be mailed to the local sponsor about three weeks from date of application (excluding two working days for postage). Processing time may be longer should additional information be required from other economic agencies to assess the application.
Local sponsors who fail to give the due time allowance of three weeks will result in their applications being rejected.
The applicant may check on the assigned Foreign Identification Number (FIN) and application status online about seven days after submission.
