What Is A Singapore Employment Pass Application

Any foreign individual or businessmen who plan to start and establish a Singapore

company and wish to relocate to Singapore to look over business operations and administration should accomplish two basic things, incorporation or registration of a Singapore company and securing a work pass visa called Employment Pass.

An Employment Pass refers to a work visa provided to qualified individuals, employees and staff in order for them to travel in and out of Singapore with minimum hassle at the immigration. Requirements are presented and applications are approved in the Ministry of Manpower. An Employment Pass is valid for one to two years with a chance for renewal as long as the holder remains employed in the company. An Employment Pass also opens an opportunity for holders to apply for a permanent residency status in Singapore.

An Employment Pass is a basic need for an entrepreneur who incorporated a Singapore company and preferred to oversee operation by moving in to Singapore. This is also a basic requirement for corporations who are looking to relocate their staff such as managing directors and management staff of the company.
