Work Pass Solutions

To renew your E-Pass in Singapore:

‍

• Submit the renewal application to MOM before your current employment pass expires.
• Ensure your job meets the minimum salary criteria with a valid passport.
• Score 40 points in the COMPASS Framework.
• Ensure your employer is registered with MOM.

The E-Pass renewal requirements generally include:

‍

• Meeting the EP qualifying salary (minimum $5000 starting salary till Jan 2025).
• Fulfilling the role as a managerial, executive, technician in a specialized job.
• Passing the 40 points-based Complementarity Assessment Framework (COMPASS).

Check your eligibility on the MOM website or consult your employer's HR department for guidance on specific requirements and criteria for your renewal.

If your E-Pass renewal is not approved, you'll need to leave Singapore when your current pass expires. Ensure you make the necessary arrangements within the grace period (30 days) allowed by your existing pass.

After your E-Pass expires, you're usually granted a grace period, typically around 30 days. During this period, you should obtain a new pass, leave the country, or face potential penalties for overstaying.

Pursuing a master's program can enhance your qualifications and employability, making you a more attractive candidate to potential employers. This increases your chances of meeting the renewal criteria, especially if educational qualifications are a factor.

The COMPASS framework model comprises various components for a candidate to score 40 points to pass the evaluation. A reputable master's Certificate adds +10-20 points, crucial for increasing the success rate in passing the latest COMPASS Framework.

Yes, it is possible to upgrade from an S-Pass to an E-Pass in Singapore, but specific eligibility criteria must be met. For more information, refer to the E-Pass eligibility criteria above.

The eligibility criteria typically include a higher minimum monthly salary, job type, and qualifications. Specific criteria may change over time, so it's essential to refer to the latest guidelines provided by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) or consult our immigration experts for more information.

The first-time upgrade from S-Pass to E-Pass often has more stringent requirements compared to subsequent upgrades. This initial upgrade may require a higher salary threshold and additional qualifications to meet E-Pass criteria. Note, every application is unique and is benchmarked differently.

Yes, your employer will typically initiate the upgrade process on your behalf. They will submit the application to the MOM, and it's crucial to work closely with your employer to ensure that all necessary criteria are met.

An E-Pass typically offers higher earning potential and more work opportunities in Singapore compared to an S-Pass. E-Pass holders often have fewer restrictions and enhanced benefits.
