ESD - Pass Approval stage

Aliasgar Lokhandwala

Hi All,


My application shows "Pass approval stage" from one week and still waiting for the approval letter.


  1. Any advise on how long it takes to move to the "pass issuance stage" ?
  2. My current EP was shortened to 31st Oct, so do I need a special pass until the new EP is approved ?

Whoever needs this information, sharing my timeline here.


14th Sept - Submitted the application

19th Sept - Application returned, asking for the latest premise license of the employer.

25th Sept - Re-submitted with the license

3rd Oct - Application returned with some query about my previous salary

6th Oct - Replied with a clarification

11th Oct - Application returned asking to cancel existing work permit

20th Oct - Replied with the cancellation page, application was in "Pass approval stage"

30th Oct - Application moved to "Pass issuance stage" from "Pass approval stage". Received approval letter.


In my experience updates to the application usually happen after 4 PM, but not always.

Excuse me, do we must go abroad when we wait for ESD?

Not a requurement


in my case my previous visa was cancelled on a calculated date based on the 60 days approval timeline of ESD
