S Pass in Singapore
The S Pass in Singapore is meant for mid-skilled foreign employees such as technicians who meet the following criteria:
- The S Pass holder must earn a minimum fixed monthly salary of $2,400. The minimum salary reflects the experience of the worker. For older and more experienced applicants, higher salaries will be needed to qualify.
- The S Pass holder must hold a degree or diploma. Technical certificates such as professional qualifications may be considered. The certificate should require at least 1 year of full-time study
- The S Pass holder should have relevant work experience.
Qualifications should be acceptable and not from unaccredited institutions. To check if an institution is accredited, it can be verified through global verification agencies such as Dataflow or Risk Management Intelligence (RMI), international accreditation bodies, and awarding country’s educational authorities.
To apply for an S Pass, you will need the help of your employer or an authorized third party to apply for the candidate.
Pass holders with a minimum fixed monthly salary of at least $6,000 are also eligible to apply for Dependant’s Pass for their spouse and children and the application can be submitted together with the S Pass application or at a later date.
