Singapore Employment Pass FAQs
- The Employment Pass or EP is for foreign professionals who have 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 Employment Pass. If you are an overseas employer you need to get 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 2020, the qualifying salary for Employment Pass applications will be raised from $3,900 to $4,500. Effective December 2020, the EP will be raised to $5,000 if you are in the financial sector. More experienced candidates need higher salaries to qualify and still need to meet the employment pass criteria.
- The EP processing time usually takes about 3 weeks if applied online. Once your pass is approved, you’ll get a notification letter that allows you to start working and travelling in and out of Singapore while waiting for the EP card to be issued.
