Overview: SGWorkpass APP
Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower has developed a novel work pass card and the SGWorkPass mobile application to make it easier to monitor the status of one’s work permit. This Work Pass Card comes with a QR code and works as an identification proof for foreign citizens working in Singapore. This work pass card comprises their employment data.
The SGWorkPass app is available to download for both, Android, as well as iOS users. You can head over to Google Play Store or App Store to download it. This app will assist the workers, stakeholders, and pass holders to go through their work pass status without putting in much effort.
Most Convenient & Reliable Technique To Check Work Pass Status
Upon making an agreement with the holder of the pass or granting admission into a location, many network operators, premise owners, or other parties depend on the expiry date stated on the WP card as confirmation of status. Nevertheless, a foreigner’s contract may be terminated before his WP card lapses for a variety of reasons, including restructuring or resignation. As a result, the expiration date stated on the WP card might not represent the most recent situation.
Stakeholders now get a much more effective and accessible opportunity to check the most recent status and also validate variable data like expiry date and employment with the application, SGWorkPass. Just scan the QR code displayed on the new WP card with the mobile app, SGWorkPass. With this modification, we will no longer print variable details on the WP card, like the expiration date.
