Are you considering working in Singapore? Before you start your job hunt, knowing if you are eligible for an Employment Pass (EP) is essential. An EP is a work visa that allows foreign professionals, managers, and executives to work in Singapore. However, only some are eligible for an EP. If you’re not sure about your EP eligibility, check out this page to find out.

EP Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for an EP, you must meet the following criteria:

• Have a job offer from a Singapore-based company
• Earn a minimum salary of SGD 4,500 per month (SGD 5,000 for older applicants and those in specific sectors)
• Have an excellent educational background and work experience
• Possess specialized skills and expertise that are not readily available in Singapore

Checking Your EP Eligibility

Before you apply for an EP, it’s a good idea to check if you meet the eligibility criteria. This can save you time and effort if you’re not eligible for an EP. To prevent your EP eligibility, you can visit this page on the MOM website. The page provides a self-assessment tool that allows you to determine if you meet the EP eligibility criteria.

The self-assessment tool asks for your education, work experience, and salary. Based on your responses, we will provide you with an indication of your EP eligibility. The tool will give you a reference code when applying for your EP if deemed eligible.

Other Considerations

While meeting the EP eligibility criteria is essential, other factors should be considered when applying for an EP. For example, when evaluating EP applications, the MOM considers factors such as the company’s reputation, work experience, and qualifications. It’s essential to provide as much information as possible in your application to increase your chances of approval.

In addition, there are different types of EPs that you can apply for, depending on your qualifications and experience. For example, the Personalized Employment Pass (PEP) is available to high-earning EP holders and offers greater flexibility in changing jobs and starting a business in Singapore.

If you’re considering working in Singapore, it’s essential to understand your EP eligibility. By checking your eligibility before you apply, you can save time and effort and increase your chances of approval. Use the self-assessment tool on the MOM website to determine your EP eligibility and ensure that you meet all the requirements before submitting your application. Remember that meeting the EP eligibility criteria is just one factor in the EP application process, so it’s essential to provide as much information as possible in your application.
