The Employment Pass is for foreign professionals, managers, executives and specialists who have a job offer from a Singapore-registered company.
Skilled professionals with a recognised degree/diploma and a job offer meeting the qualifying salary and COMPASS framework points.
Employer (or authorised agent) applies via MOM's EP Online system
MOM assesses under the COMPASS points framework
In-Principle Approval issued if eligible
Candidate enters Singapore and completes formalities
Employment Pass card issued and collected
COMPASS is MOM's points-based framework assessing salary, qualifications, diversity and support for local employment — candidates need a minimum score to qualify.
EP holders earning at least the qualifying salary can sponsor a Dependant's Pass for spouse and children, and a Long-Term Visit Pass for parents (with higher salary threshold).
Yes, but your new employer must apply for a fresh Employment Pass; it isn't automatically transferable.
Our counsellors will assess your eligibility for free and guide you through documentation.
