Navigating the work permit application is easier with expert guidance. Here’s the typical process:

For the worker: valid passport, educational certificates, and personal details.
For the employer: company registration details (ACRA), employment contract/offer letter, and proof of accommodation.

The employer appoints/authorizes Apex Source Agency Pte Ltd to submit the application electronically via MOM’s WP Online system. A non-refundable application fee of S$35 is payable to Mom.
Mom reviews the application based on eligibility, quota, levy, and documentation. If approved, an in-principle approval (IPA) letter is issued, allowing the worker to enter Singapore. Typical processing time is about 1 week but may take longer if additional details are required.
Purchase medical insurance and a security bond (for non-Malaysians). Arrange suitable accommodation. Book a slot at the onboard center (if applicable).
The worker enters Singapore with the IPA letter. Within two weeks of arrival, the worker must complete a medical examination.
