For entrepreneurs who lack the requisite tertiary education, an EntrePass is the ideal working visa. However, for entrepreneurs who possess good educational qualifications, an Employment Pass is usually the better choice. Prior to incorporating a Singapore company, an ENtrePass application is usually made.   Upon approval of EntrePass application, the applicant will receive an in-principle-approval letter (IPA), and he must incorporate his company within 30 days from receipt of such IPA. On the other hand, in case of a rejected EntrePass application, you are not required to setup a Singapore company.
