The Personalised Employment Pass (PEP) is a new scheme to facilitate the contributions of global talent to Singapore.
Currently, the issue of an Employment Pass (EP) is tied to a specific employer. Any change of employer requires a fresh application. If an EP holder leaves the company, his EP is cancelled and he must leave Singapore unless he finds employment with a new company. In contrast, the new PEP is not tied to any employer and will be granted on the strength of an EP holder's individual merits. A PEP holder is able to remain in Singapore for up to six months in between jobs to evaluate new employment opportunities. s
Foreign mid-level skilled workers, such as technicians who wish to work in Singapore may apply for an S Pass. Information on S Pass eligibility and quota can be found in the following sections.
Foreigners who wish to spend some time in Singapore to look for a job can apply for the Employment Pass Eligibility Certificate (EPEC). EPEC grants the holder a Social Visit Pass (SVP) valid for up to one year. The EPEC is issued on a one-time basis and is strictly non-renewable.
You may apply for EPEC if you hold recognised tertiary/professional qualifications.
