Work permit holders, but not their spouses and children, will be issued with an expatriate card. This is the size of a credit card and has the holder’s employment details and photo. It will usually be mailed to the HR department of your employer (or whoever has taken care of your work permit application) some time after your work permit is issued. The card enables you to use a quick line at immigration and acts as a local ID, proving your residence status. It has the same validity as your work permit; if you end your employment before your work permit expires you must return the card with your passport when your work permit is cancelled.
