If you are a foreign entrepreneur, professional, director or shareholder with an acceptable degree, professional qualification or specialized skills, you should consider applying for an EP. Relevant work experience often also plays an important role in determining suitability.

Any employment pass applied for by an employment agency in Singapore can be valid for 1 or 2 years and can be renewed as long as the pass holder remains employed by the company. The validity period for applicants for a first pass is a maximum of two years.

For companies, you will need work passes for your employees, such as CEOs and administrative staff, if you plan to transfer them to Singapore. A work pass allows the pass holder to travel to and from Singapore with minimal hassle during immigration. In addition, Employment Pass holders who have been working for more than 2 years can also apply for Permanent Residency (PR) in Singapore. On the other hand, if you or your foreign employees are staying in Singapore for a short period of time (between 2 weeks and 6 months), it is more convenient to apply for a Short Term Pass.
