FAQ on Singapore Employment Pass

Is my employment pass application approval guaranteed ?

Possessing a recognised qualification does not automatically guarantee a successful EP application, as the applicant may need to satisfy other criteria such as relevant work experience or professional skills. Similarly, an applicant who does not possess a recognised qualification may not necessarily be rejected for EP, if he possesses other compensating factors.

What are the types of employment pass categories?

There are three categories of Employment Pass: P1, P2 and Q1 Pass. The P Pass is for foreigners seeking professional, managerial or executive and specialist jobs.

Pass Type Factor One Factor Two Factor Three
P1 Fixed monthly salary > $7,000 and Professional, Managerial,Executive, Specialist jobs
P2 Fixed monthly salary > $3,500 and Professional, Managerial, Executive, Specialist jobs and recognised qualifications
Q1 Fixed monthly salary > $2,500 and recognized qualifications In lieu of recognised qualifications, we may also consider compensatory factors such as skills and years of experience (we recommend a minimum of five years relevant work experience)
