However, if an EP holder would like to be registered as a director of another company apart from the company that his EP is approved for, he will have to seek approval from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). He needs to apply for a Letter of Consent (LOC) from MOM. He will also have to seek approval from his current employer to allow him to take on his directorship role in the secondary company. Only upon approval can this individual be registered as a director of the secondary company and the appointment can be lodged with ACRA.
