Knowing where foreign workers (FWs) stay in Singapore is essential for improving the overall management of foreign manpower. The information provided by employers will enable us to reach out directly and quickly to all foreign workers in Singapore should the need arise. This need was amply demonstrated during the SARS crisis.
We have since developed an Online Foreign Worker Address System (OFWAS), which is available over the Internet, to enable employers to provide us with the updated addresses of their FWs. Employers can access the OFWAS from their offices or homes. We also have an e-Service lobby at our building where you can access OFWAS and update your FWs' addresses free of charge.
All employers of Work Permit (WP) holders are required to provide updated residential addresses of their FWs to us within five days of commencement of employment and subsequently any change in their address.
Please have the following information ready before you proceed:
- SingPass ID;
- Company CPF Submission No;
- WP number and date of application (see Work Permit card or In-Principle Approval (IPA) Letter); and
- FWs' address.
