If employers are unable to fulfil the entry approval responsibilities

They can get employment agencies to submit the entry application. In this case, the employment agency needs to fulfil the responsibilities.

If no party is willing and able to fulfil the responsibilities, the FDW/CN should not enter Singapore.

Penalties for non-compliance

Employers, employment agencies, FDWs and CNs have a collective duty to comply with the entry approval requirements.

Enforcement action, including revocation of work passes and suspension of work pass privileges, will be taken for non-compliance or false declarations. Demerit points will also be imposed on employment agencies whose actions result in violation of the requirements by FDWs or CNs.
