- Effective June 4, 2024, the process for Foreign Knowledge Worker (FKW) projection applications will be simplified, resulting in instant approvals.
- Companies must still apply for projections on expatriates for the current year, covering both new and renewal Employment Passes (EP).
- For applications submitted before June 4, 2024, that have not yet received an outcome, companies must re-submit the applications to receive instant approvals, as previous applications will not be processed.
