Effective December 23, 2020, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) will start requiring all work pass holders, including Work Permit, S Pass and Employment Pass holders, to update changes to their residential address or mobile numbers within five days of any change; previously the reporting deadline was 14 days of the change.
Work Permit, S Pass and Employment Pass holders will be required to update their information on different online systems depending on their work pass status.
The registration will allow work pass holders to make future changes to their details within the new, shorter deadline of five days of the change through the respective platforms.
These reporting requirements are part of foreign nationals’ work pass conditions under the Employment of Foreign Manpower (Work Passes) Regulations (EFMR), the law that outlines responsibilities of employers and rights of foreign national employees relating to work passes, including applications, cancellations, requirements and benefits, among others.
The Singapore government will continue to move more processes online and have faster turnaround times for required information through government websites and mobile phone applications. Required updates will continue to be mandatory until the information in government applications, tools and online portals become integrated.
