Work pass holders with recent China travel history need prior MOM approval to enter Singapore

With the new measures, employers seeking approval for the entry or return of employees must declare to MOM that they have arranged for suitable premises for these returning employees during the LOA.

This is either by obtaining landlords' confirmation that they are agreeable to house the foreign workers throughout the LOA; by having booked a hotel room; or by having secured a dormitory room.. Approval can only be sought three days before the intended arrival date of the work pass holder. Applications submitted before 5pm will receive the outcome on the same day, while those submitted after 5pm will receive the outcome the next day.

Upon obtaining an approval letter from MOM, employers must send the letter to the employee, who will need to show it to airline staff upon check-in, as well as at the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority checkpoint upon arrival in Singapore. The new measures will enable the entry or return of work pass holders"to be carried out in an orderly and well-managed way", said the MOM, adding:"MOM will not hesitate to take enforcement measures against errant employers or employees who do not comply with the requirements set out above, including the revocation of work passes and withdrawal of work pass privileges."
