No need to cancel the current EP if you want to change employer I checked the MOM website: To apply for a new Employment Pass whenever the Employment Pass holder changes an employer. There is no need to cancel the existing pass before doing so. Please refer to: http://www.mom.gov.sg/foreign-manpower/passes-visas/employment-pass/inform-mom/Pages/update-of-details.aspx#employerchange I visited the MOM in person on Mar-07-2011,got the same answer.
