The Singapore Employment Pass (EP) is a work visa designed for foreign professionals, managers, executives, and specialists who wish to work in Singapore. Issued by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the EP allows skilled individuals to live and work in Singapore, typically for a period of 1 to 2 years, with the option for renewal.
Singapore is a global business hub known for its strong economy, low taxes, and excellent infrastructure. Whether you’re relocating for career growth, a job opportunity, or to join a multinational company, the Employment Pass offers a streamlined and prestigious pathway to work legally in the country.
To qualify for a Singapore Employment Pass, applicants must meet the following criteria:
The Complementarity Assessment Framework (COMPASS) is a new points-based system introduced to evaluate Employment Pass applications more transparently. Points are awarded based on:
+91 9739738883
Higher points are awarded if the applicant’s salary is competitive with local professionals in similar roles, reflecting high job value.
Points depend on the applicant’s education, with top-tier universities and relevant qualifications scoring higher.
More points are given if the applicant’s nationality is underrepresented in the company, promoting workforce diversity.
Employers who actively hire and train local talent earn higher scores under this criterion.
