What is the effective date of new entry requirement for CMP Sector new Work Permit holders?

Employers from the CMP sectors currently tap on two entry lanes to bring in workers, namely the industry-led end-to-end process1 and the Work Pass Holder General Lane via MOM. This arrangement has served the industry by maintaining a steady flow of workers even when travel restrictions were imposed. When the source countries experienced a surge in COVID-19 cases, MOM has observed a remarkable reduction in import cases for travellers under the industry-led initiative. As the COVID-19 situation improves, there is scope to help the CMP sectors accelerate the entry of necessary workers for ongoing projects and alleviate the labour shortage that the sectors have faced over the past year.
