Can you track an Employment Pass application on the MOM portal when your employer files it?
Yes, you can track your Employment Pass application on the MOM portal even when your employer files it, without needing a Singpass login. Enter your passport or FIN, name, and date of birth to check your status 24/7, which shows pending for up to 10 business days before a decision.
You do not need to wait on your employer for updates on your Employment Pass. You can check your own status any time using MOM's public tracking tool, no Singpass or account required, as long as you have a few basic identity details ready.
How To Track Your EP Status
| Step | What To Do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Go to the official MOM Check Work Pass and Application Status portal |
| 2 | Select the "candidate/pass holder" option |
| 3 | Enter your passport number or FIN, full name as on your passport, and date of birth |
Common Application Statuses
- Pending/In Process: MOM is actively reviewing your documents, typically for up to 10 business days.
- Approved: An In-Principle Approval letter is issued electronically to your employer, allowing you to enter Singapore.
- Rejected: Your employer can view the specific rejection reason in their portal and file an appeal if applicable.
- Employers separately track filed applications through the myMOM Portal using Corppass and Singpass credentials.
My Advice
Check the public tracker yourself every few days instead of only relying on updates from HR, since the portal reflects MOM's real-time status. If your application sits at pending past 10 business days, ask your employer to check the myMOM portal for a specific clarification request rather than assuming it is simply delayed.
