Feeling Down over EP Renewal Prospect



I know I need to renew my EP. Last time, three years ago, it was quite easy to submit my renewal application online. Then for the past few days, I tried to do the same and now it seems it is not possible as I found out tonight, for using the MOM’s online services, a “business owner/employer” cannot be an EP holder. Which means I have to submit my application by mail. This may not be a big deal, but every little inconvenience like this stresses me, especially because I am almost certain it will be rejected and I’ll have to make an appeal. This is exactly what happened last time. But obtaining an EP, new or renewed, seems to have become quite tough, as can be seen, not least, in that an EP holder is not allowed to use the online services as a business owner/employer. I may get kicked out of this country this time. Well, it’s ironic because last year I once decided to leave here and had to make a traumatic U-turn. Do I have energy to apply for a PR status again to avoid this kind of inconvenience in the future? I don’t think so.
