The Singapore Employment Pass (EP)
The Singapore Employment Pass (EP) is the primary work visa issued by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to foreign professionals, managers, and executives who intend to work in Singapore. It allows eligible individuals with the necessary qualifications, experience, and a job offer from a Singapore-based employer to live and work in the country. The EP aims to attract global talent to contribute to Singapore’s economy and typically requires a minimum salary threshold, which is subject to periodic revisions by MOM, as well as suitable professional qualifications or specialized skills
Other Visa Types for Singapore
While the Employment Pass is the primary work visa for professionals in Singapore, there are other visa options available depending on the individual’s purpose of stay. The S Pass is designed for mid-level skilled workers who meet specific criteria, including salary and qualifications. For entrepreneurs looking to start and operate an innovative business in Singapore, the EntrePass may be suitable. Family members of Employment Pass and S Pass holders may be eligible for a Dependant’s Pass (DP) or a Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP), allowing them to reside in Singapore. Additionally, there are visas for short-term visits for tourism or business, as well as student passes for those pursuing education in Singapore. Each of these visa types has its own set of eligibility requirements and application procedures set forth by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA).
