3 Processing time
Generally, all PA applications shall be processed within 14 working days after we received them with all the documents in
order. The outcome of the application will be mailed to the company.
After the PA has been approved and issued, the company has to submit a new Work Permit application for each NTS
worker:
• via Work Permit eService (WP eService), if you are a subscribed user
• through an Employment Agency who is a WP eService user
Time for application for Work Permit
It takes around 1 week to process the application.
Please note that the NTS worker must not be in Singapore at the time of Work Permit application. The worker is only allowed
to enter Singapore after the Work Pass Division gives an In-Principle Approval and after the employer executes a Security
Bond.
Incomplete application forms or omission of the required documents might cause delay in processing.
