Singapore Employment Pass FAQs
- The Employment Pass or EP is for foreign professionals who have secured a job offer in Singapore. This work visa allows them to relocate and work in a managerial, professional or specialised role in the company. Only eligible candidates with acceptable qualifications will be considered by the MOM. Application for an Employment Pass is open to all nationalities.
- An employer or appointed employment agent (EA) has to apply for a candidate’s Singapore Employment Pass application. If you are an overseas employer, you need to engage a Singapore-registered company to act as a local sponsor and apply on your behalf. Foreign professionals don’t need to be in Singapore when you apply.
- From September 2022, the qualifying salary for Employment Pass applications will be S$5,000 and S$5,500 if you are in the financial services sector. More experienced candidates need higher salaries to qualify and meet the employment pass criteria.
