It is the most common work visa for foreigners who are not Permanent Residents (PRs).
For professional, managerial and executives with:
The EP is not subject to quotas but the company must justify the added value brought by the foreign candidate and encourage local employment.
For mid-level skilled foreign staff, S Pass employers are subject to a quota and have to pay a monthly Foreign Worker Levy (FWL) as well as subscribing to a medical and hospitalisation insurance covering the employment period.
For semi-skilled foreign workers in the construction, manufacturing, marine shipyard, process or services sector. Work Permit employers are limited by a quota and specific rules for their industry and have to pay a monthly levy (FWL - Foreign Worker Levy) for each worker.
For spouse, children and parents of eligible Employment Pass (EP) or S Pass holders, it is necessary to apply for each one, for either a Dependant's Pass (DP) or a Long Term Visit Pass (LTVP) to stay in Singapore.
To work in Singapore, the LTVP holder has to get his/her own independent work pass based on its own merit.
From May 1st, 2021, Dependant Pass holders need an applicable work pass (EP, S Pass or Work Permit) to work in Singapore.
There are other work passes in Singapore. The relevant visa will be determined based on the foreigner personal situation and / or type of employment: partners of Singaporean or PR, entrepreneurs, etc.
