COVID-19 precautionary measures for PEP holders

Actions to be taken by Personalised Employment Pass (PEP) holders (without an employer) if they or their dependants are currently overseas.

All pass holders (work pass holders and dependants) must obtain entry approvals from the relevant government agencies to enter Singapore.

However, those conveying essential services or supplies (e.g. lorry drivers or vegetable supply truckers) coming from Malaysia by land or sea crossing are exempted from the entry approval requirements.

To request for MOM’s entry approval for you or your dependants to enter Singapore, you must: 

  1. Ensure you and your dependants can fulfil the entry approval requirements. This includes paying for the COVID-19 test and stay at the dedicated SHN facility, if applicable.
