subject: All About Singapore Employment Pass [print this page] It is important to note that MOM usually requires additional documents and certificates to foreign entrepreneurs. For example, they are required to secure an approval letter from the International Enterprise Singapore if they are planning to setup a representative office.
The approval letter should state the purpose of the application, duration of an applicant's assignment, and activity for the maintenance and repatriation of an applicant.
Meanwhile, foreign professionals such as doctors, dentists, school teachers, nurses, lawyers, and pharmacists are also required to submit supporting documents provided by their respective accreditation agency or professional body.
Requirements for EP Applicants
One of the most important requirements is a college diploma from a reputable university. However, passing in this qualification does not guarantee a successful EP application since MOM also considers other factors.
For professionals, they should have several years of work-related experience, specialized skills, and at least a fixed monthly salary of S$2,500. And for businessmen, strong entrepreneurial skills and their company's reputation, background, and paid-up capital will determine their eligibility for this visa.
In some cases, MOM also considers an applicant's age, roles and responsibility in a company, and current citizenship.
