The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) is reminding all work pass holders, including Work Permit, S Pass and Employment Pass holders, to update their residential address or mobile number within five days of any change. Work Permit and S Pass holders must update their details through the FWMOMCare mobile application. In addition to the FWMOMCare update, employers of Work Permit holders must also update the MOM through the Online Foreign Worker Address Service (OFWAS). Employment Pass and S Pass holders (in addition to the FWMOMCare update) must update their details through the Employment Pass Online (EP Online) system. Although rarely seen in practice, foreign nationals who do not comply with the registration regulations may have their work passes revoked and non-compliant employers could have their ability to sponsor work passes revoked.
