To be considered for an Employment Pass, a foreigner must have a fixed monthly salary of at least $2,500, and possess acceptable degrees, professional qualifications or specialist skills.
MOM evaluates each application and qualification on its merits. MOM does not have a list of approved institutions and the attached list is a sample of the type of institutions which will be considered, based on a wide range of criteria, including:
• Global and country institution rankings by independent accreditation boards
• Hiring history by top companies in Singapore
• Validation by HR consultants in listed countries
• Employment outcome of the institution's graduates
• The institution's enrolment standards.
MOM will recognise qualifications from institutions that are of comparable and equivalent standards to those in the sample list.
Possessing a recognised qualification does not automatically guarantee a successful EP application, as the applicant may need to satisfy other criteria such as relevant work experience or professional skills. Similarly, an applicant who does not possess a recognised qualification may not necessarily be rejected for EP, if he possesses other compensating factors.
