Recently I am searching some information about the employment pass and how to become a SPR(Singapore Permanent Resident) ..Sigh ..I was just finished my study in Singapore , and currently I am looking for job..I still cant find a job !!! Omg u know what..first of all , i think is my problem ..I dont have any working experience (but it doesnt mean i cannot work right), secondly, I am a Malaysian (this is the key point) . So what is the problem now.. I had submitted back my student pass and right now i am using visit pass and I have to cop my passport again and again every months until i get a job... Day by day..I am moulding..I am sending my resumes out everyday.. run through interviews.At the same time, I have question to ask you all:
The question is, can I cop my passport at the same day ( for example, I am holding visit pass and stay in Singapore right now,and the visit pass is due next week..I am not staying in JB...Can I cop my passport at JB and return back to Singapore at the same day?)
Here are some information about employment pass which I think will be useful for those who are finding a job in Singapore:
