IPA clock, sketched.

Six months to enter and issue is the usual EP IPA story — confirm the letter, then book the flight. Dependant IPAs need the same discipline.

IPA approval date

Planned entry

Planned issuance

MOM’s EP IPA is normally a single-entry pre-approval: enter Singapore and get the pass issued within about 6 months. Dependant Pass IPAs need the same issuance discipline once approved.

How this sketch works

Adds the common six-month enter-and-issue window to the IPA date.
Checks entry and issuance dates against that window.
Counts days to deadline from today and flags the two-week extension lead time.

What to do with the number

Sequence medicals, issuance payment, and card registration the week you land.
Ask the employer about extension before expiry. Do not assume the letter still works.
