EMPLOYMENT PASS APPLICATION
SERVICES IN SINGAPORE


EMPLOYMENT PASS (EP) APPLICATION SERVICES SINGAPORE | S PASS APPLICATION
SERVICES | WORK PERMIT APPLICATION SERVICES



What is Employment Pass in Singapore?



The Singapore Employment Pass (EP) is a work visa for foreign professionals,
managers, and executives who wish to work in Singapore. It is intended for
individuals with a job offer in Singapore and who have the necessary
qualifications and experience.

Key Points about the Singapore Employment Pass:

Eligibility Requirements:

Applicants must have a job offer from a Singaporean employer.
They should work in a managerial, executive, or specialized job.
Applicants typically need to earn a minimum monthly salary of SGD 5,000 (as of
the latest guidelines, but it may vary depending on the industry or applicant’s
age).
A recognized degree, professional qualifications, or specialized skills are
usually required.

Validity:

The Employment Pass is typically issued for 1-2 years upon first approval and
can be renewed thereafter, usually for up to 3 years.
Dependent Privileges:

EP holders earning a minimum monthly salary of SGD 6,000 are eligible to apply
for Dependent’s Passes for their immediate family members (spouse and children).
Application Process:

The application for an Employment Pass is submitted by the employer or an
appointed employment agent via the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) online portal.
Processing usually takes around 3 weeks, but it can take longer in some cases.
Employer Obligations:

Employers must meet certain conditions, such as providing medical insurance for
their foreign employees and ensuring that they comply with Singapore’s
employment laws.
Renewal and Cancellation:

Employers can apply to renew an Employment Pass up to 6 months before it
expires.
If the holder leaves their job, the employer must cancel the pass within 7 days
after the last day of employment.
Other Considerations:

The EP is different from other work passes like the S Pass (for mid-level
skilled workers) and Work Permit (for lower-skilled workers).
The Singapore government also regularly reviews the criteria for the Employment
Pass to ensure that it remains relevant to the country’s economic needs and
labor market conditions.
This pass is a key visa for many expatriates who wish to live and work in
Singapore, contributing to its economy and workforce.

What is a S Pass in Singapore?



The S Pass is a type of work visa in Singapore designed for mid-skilled foreign
employees. It is intended for workers who have the necessary qualifications and
experience but may not meet the higher salary or qualification requirements of
the Employment Pass (EP).

Key Points about the S Pass:


Eligibility Requirements:

Salary: Applicants must earn a minimum monthly salary, which is SGD 3,150 as of
September 2022 (higher for older and more experienced candidates).
Qualifications: Applicants should have a degree, diploma, or technical
certificate, typically with a course duration of at least 1 year.
Work Experience: Relevant work experience and specialized skills are considered
during the application process.


Quota and Levy System:

Quota: Companies in Singapore are subject to a quota on the number of S Pass
holders they can employ, which is capped at a percentage of the company’s total
workforce (15% for the services sector and 18% for other sectors).
Levy: Employers must pay a monthly levy for each S Pass holder, which varies
based on the sector and the number of S Pass holders in the company.
Validity:

The S Pass is typically issued for up to 2 years and can be renewed for periods
of up to 3 years.
Dependent Privileges:

S Pass holders earning at least SGD 6,000 per month can apply for a Dependant’s
Pass for their spouse and children.
Application Process:

Employers or appointed employment agents apply for the S Pass on behalf of the
employee via the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) online portal.
Processing time is usually around 3 weeks.


Medical Insurance Requirement:

Employers are required to provide medical insurance for their S Pass holders,
covering at least SGD 15,000 per year for inpatient care and day surgery.
Renewal and Cancellation:

The S Pass can be renewed up to 6 months before its expiry date.
If the holder leaves their job, the employer must cancel the pass within 7 days
of the last day of employment.


Other Considerations:

The S Pass is distinct from the Employment Pass and Work Permit, with different
eligibility criteria, quota, and levy requirements.
Singapore’s government periodically reviews the criteria for the S Pass to
ensure it aligns with the country’s labor needs and economic conditions.
The S Pass is a crucial visa category for mid-level skilled foreign workers in
industries such as manufacturing, construction, services, and more.

What is a work permit in Singapore?



A Work Permit (WP) in Singapore is a type of work visa issued to foreign workers
in lower-skilled or semi-skilled jobs across various sectors. It is the most
basic form of work authorization for foreign workers in Singapore.

Key Points about the Work Permit:


Eligibility Requirements:

Nationality: Work Permits are generally issued to workers from specific
countries approved by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) for certain sectors. The
approved countries differ depending on the industry.
Age: The minimum age for a Work Permit is 18 years, and the maximum is 58 years
(for Malaysian workers) or 50 years (for workers from other countries).


Applicable Sectors:

Work Permits are typically issued for workers in sectors like construction,
manufacturing, marine, process, and services (e.g., domestic helpers,
hospitality).
Each sector has specific requirements and guidelines for hiring Work Permit
holders.


Quota and Levy System:

Quota: Employers are subject to a Dependency Ratio Ceiling (DRC), which limits
the proportion of foreign workers they can employ relative to their total
workforce.


Levy: Employers must pay a monthly levy for each Work Permit holder, which
varies based on the sector and the number of foreign workers employed.
Validity:

Work Permits are usually issued for up to 2 years, depending on the validity of
the worker’s passport, employment period, and security bond.
The permit can be renewed as long as the worker continues to meet the
eligibility criteria.


Security Bond:

Employers are required to furnish a security bond (usually SGD 5,000 per worker)
before a Work Permit is issued. This bond is intended to ensure compliance with
MOM regulations.
Medical and Insurance Requirements:

Employers must provide medical insurance for their Work Permit holders, with a
minimum coverage of SGD 15,000 per year for inpatient care and day surgery.
Workers are also required to undergo a medical examination before their Work
Permit is issued and periodically during their employment.
Dependent Privileges:

Work Permit holders are not eligible to bring dependents to Singapore.


Living Conditions:

Employers are responsible for providing acceptable accommodation for Work Permit
holders. This includes ensuring that the housing meets MOM’s requirements.
Renewal and Cancellation:

Work Permits can be renewed up to 6 months before their expiration.
If the worker leaves their job or the employment relationship ends, the employer
must cancel the Work Permit within 7 days.


Other Considerations:

Work Permit holders are restricted in terms of job mobility; they can only work
for the employer and in the job specified in their permit.
Work Permit holders are also subject to other conditions, such as not getting
married to a Singaporean or Permanent Resident without prior approval from the
MOM.
The Work Permit is essential for many sectors in Singapore that rely on foreign
labor for their operations, particularly in industries requiring lower-skilled
or semi-skilled workers.
