At a glance

When to cancel the pass

Once your stint in Singapore ends.

You do not need to cancel the pass if your pass has expired. However, 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.

Who can cancel You or your employment agent
How long it takes Immediate 

Note: You can only apply for another Work Holiday Pass at least 12 months after the day your previous one was cancelled or expired.

Before cancelling

Before booking the flight, please check:

  • Whether your airline has any requirements (such as health or visa) for boarding and ensure that you comply with them. Otherwise, you may not be allowed to board.
  • The home country's or region's embassy website for entry requirements. Alternatively, you may refer to MFA’s travel guides.

How to cancel

Log in to EP eService on myMOM Portal to cancel the pass.

For pass holders who are still in Singapore, you can request for an STVP in the eService to grant yourself a valid stay for up to 30 days from the date of application.

You will receive the STVP by email. You need to show the STVP and a valid passport to the immigration officer when leaving Singapore.  

Once the pass is cancelled, please cut your pass card in half and discard it to prevent misuse.
