If you are an employer or local sponsor, you can submit a Miscellaneous Work Pass application electronically or at SingPost. You should apply at least 2 months before the assignment starts.
At a glance
Note:
- Apply early and include all relevant information to avoid unnecessary delays to your event. Event organisers are advised not to publicise the candidate’s participation in the event until the work pass has been approved.
- You should only bring in candidates when the pass is approved. If a candidate is in Singapore with a visit pass that will expire before the work pass is issued, we won't be able to extend the visit pass.
Documents required
You will need these documents to apply:
- Personal particulars page of the candidate’s passport.
- Synopsis of the talk or event (if applicable).
- For non-English documents, you must submit an English translation and a copy of the original document. The translation can be done by a translation service provider.
- We may ask for other documents when we review your application.
