Employment Pass (EP) is designed for foreign professionals employed by companies operating in Singapore.  A foreign entrepreneur who has incorporated a Singapore private limited company is also eligible for an EP so as to operate the business in Singapore.  All other persons eligible for EP are managing directors and shareholders of a company, who are not Singapore citizens or permanent residents.

The S Pass is designed for mid-level skilled foreign workers employed by companies operating in Singapore.  The application is assessed based on a point system with consideration for each of the following factors: salary, education qualifications, skills, job type and work experience.  A sub-quota of 25% of the company’s total workforce is the allowable number of S Pass holders that a Singapore company can employ.

A Personalised Employment Pass (PEP) is granted based on the applicant’s individual merits and does not tie the holder to any employer.

A Dependant’s Pass and/or Long-Term Visit Pass may be applied by all PEP holders for their family members.

Training Employment Pass (TEP) is required for foreigners who are on practical training attachments for professional, managerial, executive or specialist jobs in Singapore.

In order to facilitate the frequent entry of business executives from visa-requiring countries into Singapore, a Multiple-Journey Business Visa is necessary. This will benefit the foreign investors or business people who visit Singapore frequently to attend to the business or investment needs.

Multiple visits, each lasting up to 30 days, are allowed during the validity period of the visa which may be for 1,2 or 5 year depending on the prevailing guidelines by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority of Singapore.
