Check the reason before appealing
An employer wishing to continue employment may appeal if the worker is not eligible for renewal. First check WP Online for the specific reason. This renewal-appeal page states that basic-skilled construction workers reaching a 14-year maximum employment period cannot renew and suggests upgrading to higher-skilled status. Treat that statement as the rule described on this particular dated page, and check the current construction requirements for the worker’s applicable position rather than extending it to every sector or worker.
Submit early and preserve legal stay
Submit the appeal and any supporting documents through MOM’s stated route. The page reports high appeal volumes and at least three weeks to receive an outcome, sent by email and post. Imminent or already-expired permits do not receive priority, so submit early. The worker must have a valid pass to remain in Singapore; a pending appeal does not prevent an overstaying fine.
