Appeal to refund overstaying fines
For pass holders (work pass holders or dependants) who meet any of these conditions, business employers or employment agents can appeal for a refund of the overstaying fines imposed by MOM (By ICA):

- There was a delay in the processing of the pass holders’ pass extension requests.

You need to upload the following supporting documents to submit this appeal
|
For Pass holders employed or sponsored by a company:
|
- A signed appeal letter with your company’s letterhead stating the details of the appeal.
- Pass holders’ documents to support the appeal (E.g. ICA’s approval email on the Short-Term Visit Pass extension or passport page with ICA’s stamp showing the legal stay granted).
|
For Foreign domestic workers (FDWs) (Maid):
|
- A signed appeal letter from their employer stating the details of the appeal.
- FDWs’ documents to support the appeal (E.g. ICA’s approval email on the Short-Term Visit Pass extension or passport page with ICA’s stamp showing the legal stay granted).
|
- MOM will email you the outcome within 4 weeks.
- The in-principle approval letter does not give pass holders a legal stay in Singapore. Thus, if you did not extend their stay in time, MOM will not entertain such requests to refund the overstaying fines.
- Employment agents must obtain the employers’ written authorisation before submitting the appeal.
