Triggers and exceptions
Cancel if unemployed more than six months or permanently leaving Singapore; for departure cancel within one week after leaving. Changing employer only requires notification, not cancellation. PR conversion and expired passes need no cancellation; an expired holder remaining must request lawful temporary stay.
Tax and process
The employer seeks IRAS clearance at least a month before the holder leaves the job. The holder or EA cancels immediately through myMOM EP eService. The PEP and related family passes cannot be reinstated. If still in Singapore, request STVP up to 90 days from application, received by email and shown with valid passport on departure. Cut and discard the old card.
