When to cancel the pass |
Within 1 week from the date you close your business. For example, if you close your business on 3 February, you need to cancel the pass by 10 February.
You do not need to cancel the pass if:
- You become a Singapore permanent resident
- Your pass has expired. As long as you are still in Singapore, you need to request for a Short-Term Visit Pass (STVP) to give yourself a valid stay in the meantime. Otherwise, an overstaying fine will be imposed.

- Log in to EP eService to cancel the pass on behalf of the pass holder.
- If the pass holder is still in Singapore, you can request for an STVP to grant them a valid stay for up to 90 days from the date of application.
- We will send the STVP to the cancellation requestor by email. The pass holder and you will both receive the STVP by email. The pass holder needs to show the STVP and a valid passport to the immigration officer when leaving Singapore.
