In Singapore, an IPA (In-Principle Approval) is the initial approval given by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to foreign workers for work authorization. A work permit is the physical document that validates the work authorization of a foreign worker. It is important for both the employer and the foreign worker to stay updated on the status of their IPA and work permit. This ensures that the foreign worker is authorized to work in Singapore and that their employment is in compliance with the country's laws and regulations.
