Renewing a registered worker permit early

Can I renew my registered worker permit before it expires?

The situation

Renewal can be requested up to 6 months before expiry.

The law

  • LMRA Labour Registration Programme (successor to the Flexi Permit): Eligible workers register through approved Labour Registration Centres for a six month, one year or two year registered worker permit

What it means for you

LMRA allows renewal up to 6 months before expiry. Renewing early avoids a gap in status that can affect residency and work. You can pick a six month, one year or two year term at renewal.

What to do

  1. Check expiry.
  2. Apply through a centre.
  3. Pay fees.
  4. Get permit.
