IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Authorities have begun requiring sponsoring companies to complete a new email verification step during the work authorization process.
What does the change mean? The online application for RPTKA, Pre-IMTA Approval and IMTA will be delayed if the verification step is not completed.
Background: With the recent transition to an online application system, authorities are slowly streamlining the process for preparing and filing work authorization applications. Authorities at the Ministry of Manpower will now be required to verify a company’s email address before applications can be processed. Though there has not been an official announcement so far, the requirement was put into effect Jan. 18.
The email verification steps works as follows: Affected companies log in on this TKA Online system website. The verification setup should automatically pop up. Once it is completed, the ministry will send a verification link to the company email address that is on file. Companies that do not receive the verification email should contact BAL, which can request that another verification email be sent.
BAL Analysis: Employers should note that, with the change, the RPTKA will now be sent directly to the company’s verified email address. Work permits will continue to be issued physically and must be collected at the appropriate Ministry of Manpower office. BAL will continue to monitor this space for any new updates and will provide more information once available.
