The Employment Pass (EP) is a work visa that enables foreign professionals, managers and executives to work in Singapore. Candidates need to earn at least $3,900 a month and have acceptable qualifications. Employers must also demonstrate that they have fairly considered all jobseekers.
Key facts:
- Only the company or appointed employment agent needs to apply on behalf of the EP candidate.
- The candidate has to earn at least $3,900 per month, with those with more experience will need to earn higher, corresponding to their years of experience. For instance, a candidate which holds a managerial position would typically earn at least a fixed salary of $6,000
- First-time candidates can obtain an EP that is valid for up to 2 years while renewals can be for valid up to 3 years.
- Eligible EP holders are able to bring family members into Singapore on a Dependant Pass (DP) or Long Term Visit Pass (LTVP).
