My EP is linked to one nationality/passport — what if I hold dual citizenship?
Your EP is tied to the passport and nationality declared at application. Using a different passport to travel or renew without notifying MOM can create a mismatch that delays renewals or causes issues at immigration — keep the pass, employment records, and travel document consistent, or formally update MOM if your circumstances change.
Why consistency matters
MOM records the passport and nationality you declared when the EP was approved. If you enter or leave Singapore on a different passport, or renew using different details, immigration and MOM systems can show mismatched records — which is exactly the kind of inconsistency that triggers delays and queries.
When your circumstances change
If you obtain a new passport or your nationality status changes, notify MOM and update your records through the official channels rather than simply travelling on the new document. Keeping employment records, the pass and the travel document aligned protects you from avoidable problems at renewal time.
