DSTA G50 Clearance 2020

[anon]

Hello!

I signed the provisional offer and submitted my G50 form early last month, so it has been about 4 to 7 weeks since. It seems like the clearance typically take about 6 weeks but I have yet to hear anything from the HR.

And as we all know, the current covid19 situation has caused many firms to rescind their internship/full-time offers. So i'm slightly paranoid about whether mine would end up that way.

So I just wanna check if there's anyone out there who is in a similar situation as me, or if anyone has received a clearance.

Mine took about a month, but it was end of last year. High chance covid slowed things down, as it has for many other things.

from the parent ministry of DSTA.

Yes, likely delayed by Covid. Cause everything is slowed. Even when its cleared, it takes time to send thru the systems, and for people to access these information. Be patient.

Hi, for DSTA jobs which require CAT2A clearance by the vendor, are candidates who converted and now are Singaporean eligible? or totally cannot clear if not born Singaporean? Thanks
