For candidates in their mid-40s, the threshold increases to SGD 10,700 and SGD 11,800 respectively.\nEducational Qualifications:\nApplicants must hold a recognized degree or professional qualification.\nWork Experience:\nRelevant work experience is essential, with a preference for candidates possessing specialized skills.\nWhat is the COMPASS Framework (stage 2) ?\nImplemented in 2025, the Complementarity Assessment Framework (COMPASS) evaluates EP applications in Singapore based on\na points-based system. Applicants must score at least 40 out of 80 possible points across six criteria:\nC1 – Salary: Compared to local PMET wages \nC2 – Qualifications: Recognised educational credentials from MOM’s updated institution list \nC3 – Diversity: Contribution to nationality diversity in the company’s workforce\nC4 – Support for Local Employment: Company’s ratio of local PMET hires vs. industry peers\nC5 – Skills Bonus: Role listed on the updated Shortage Occupation List (SOL)\nC6 – Strategic Economic Priorities Bonus: Employer participates in eligible government economic programs\nCandidates earning S$22,500\/month or more are exempt from COMPASS entirely\n.\nWhat is the Application Process for an Employment Pass in Singapore?\nHere’s the step-by-step guide to apply for an employment pass in 2026:\nStep 1: Submitting the Application Through the myMOM Portal\nThe process begins with the employer or an authorised employment agent filing the EP application through\nSingapore’s myMOM Portal\n, the official digital gateway for all work pass submissions. The application must include supporting documents such as the candidate’s educational certificates, employment contract, and company details. A non-refundable administrative fee of SGD 105 applies at this stage. MOM typically processes applications within three weeks, though complex cases may take longer.\nStep 2: Receiving the In-Principle Approval (IPA) Letter\nA successful application results in the issuance of an In-Principle Approval letter, a document that carries significant practical weight. Valid for six months from the date of issue, the IPA functions as a pre-approved single-entry visa, permitting the candidate to travel to Singapore to complete the pass formalities. It also specifies whether a medical examination is required upon arrival. Candidates should review the IPA carefully before departure, as it governs the conditions of their entry.\nStep 3: Arriving in Singapore and Meeting Entry Requirements\nUpon arrival, the candidate must present the IPA letter to the immigration officer at the port of entry. Candidates should ensure that overseas vaccination records are updated in Singapore’s National Immunisation Registry before departure, in line with current health entry requirements. Any medical examination stipulated in the IPA must be completed promptly after arrival. Delays in fulfilling these requirements can affect the timeline for pass issuance.\nStep 4: Completing Pass Issuance Formalities\nWithin six months of the IPA’s issuance, the employer or employment agent must log in to the myMOM Portal, submit the required documentation, and pay the pass issuance fee of SGD 225, payable via GIRO, Visa, Mastercard, or American Express. Once\nMOM\nprocesses the submission, both the employer and the candidate receive a notification letter by email. This letter, valid for one month, authorises the candidate to begin employment and to travel in and out of Singapore while the physical pass card is being prepared.\nStep 5: Biometric Registration and Delivery of the EP Card\nCandidates whose notification letters indicate a biometric requirement must schedule an appointment at the Employment Pass Services Centre (EPSC) and complete fingerprint and photograph registration within two weeks of pass issuance. The original passport, appointment letter, and notification letter are mandatory for the appointment. The EP card is subsequently delivered to the registered address within five working days. MOM issues an SMS or email notification at least one working day before delivery. In the event of two unsuccessful delivery attempts, the card may be collected at the EPSC without a prior appointment after three working days.\nWhat is the Process of Renewing Your Employment Pass in 2026?\nIf you wish to retain a foreign professional in your organization beyond their current Employment Pass (EP) validity, you must submit a renewal application before the pass expires. As of\n1 September 2024\n, all\nEP renewals\nmust comply with the\nCOMPASS (Complementarity Assessment Framework)\ncriteria, making it essential to plan ahead and ensure your candidate meets the new requirements.\nKey Information on EP Renewal:\nWhen to Apply\n:\nYou can apply for an EP renewal\nup to 6 months\nbefore the pass expires. However, it is critical to submit your application before the current pass expires to avoid any disruption in employment.\nFor EP (Sponsorship cases): Applications can be submitted up to 3 months before expiry.\nWho Can Apply\n:\nOnly the employer or an appointed employment agent (EA) is authorized to submit the renewal application.\nRenewal Validity\n:\nA renewed EP can be granted for\nup to 3 years\n, subject to approval and the candidate’s eligibility under COMPASS.\nHow 3E’s Singapore Employment Agency can Assist you?\nAssistance in completing the Singapore employment self assessment tools with MOM\nPre-application information and advice on Work Pass\nFiling of Work Pass application\nTracking Work Pass application status while under processing\nLiaise with\nthe\nDirect MOM officer in charge when necessary by 3E’s Singapore employment agency\nResponding to MOM’s request for additional information as necessary\nArranging for\nthe\nissuance of\na\nWork Pass upon in-principle approval\nFiling of\na\nmaximum of 2 appeals within 3 months from the date of rejection as per MOM’s guideline in case of rejection of Work Pass application\nPasses for Family Members of Employment Pass Holders (2026 Update)\nFamily Member\nPass Type\nMinimum Fixed Monthly Salary of EP Holder\nEligibility Criteria\nLegally married spouse\nDependant Pass (DP)\nSGD\n6,000\nEP holder must earn at least SGD 6,000\/month\nUnmarried children under 21 years\nDependant Pass (DP)\nSGD\n6,000\nIncluding those legally adopted\nCommon-law spouse\nLong-Term Visit Pass (LTVP)\nSGD\n12,000\nDocumentary proof of common-law relationship required\nUnmarried stepchildren under 21\nLong-Term Visit Pass (LTVP)\nSGD\n12,000\nLegal documents verifying guardianship or custody required\nParents of EP holder\nLong-Term Visit Pass (LTVP)\nSGD\n18,000\nHigher threshold reflects greater financial responsibility\n🔎\nNote: Meeting the salary threshold does not guarantee pass approval. Applications are assessed individually by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).\nCommon Reasons for Employment Pass Application Rejection (2026)\nGetting rejected for an Employment Pass can be frustrating, especially when your plans to work or hire in Singapore are time-sensitive. Understanding why applications get rejected can help you avoid costly mistakes. Here are the most common reasons:\nSingapore’s Employment Pass System Operates Under Strict Scrutiny\nThe Ministry of Manpower enforces one of the most methodical foreign worker evaluation frameworks in Southeast Asia, leaving little room for procedural ambiguity. Professionals and corporations entering this process without precise preparation consistently find themselves on the wrong side of a rejection notice.\nFalling Below the Minimum Salary Threshold Remains the Leading Disqualifier\nThe Ministry applies the Complementarity Assessment Framework, known as COMPASS, which scores applicants on a points-based system that rewards competitive compensation packages. Candidates whose offered salaries trail the median wages of local peers in equivalent roles face near-certain rejection under this framework.\nUnverifiable or Substandard Educational Qualifications Trigger Immediate Risks\nSingapore’s authorities cross-reference declared academic credentials against an established list of recognised institutions, and degrees from universities that fall outside that register carry a substantial risk of disqualification. Fraudulent or misrepresented qualifications represent one of the most consequential grounds for rejection and can result in permanent bans from future applications.\nEmployer Credibility and Business Viability Factor Heavily Into Each Decision\nThe Ministry of Manpower scrutinises the sponsoring employer with equal rigour and a track record of compliance with local labour laws. Companies that have historically under-hired Singaporean nationals, carry regulatory infractions, or demonstrate insufficient operational substance raise significant concerns during the adjudication process. A well-qualified candidate attached to a financially unstable or non-compliant employer faces a materially diminished prospect of approval.\n💡\nTip: Before applying, ensure you do a pre-application review or consult an expert to improve your approval chances.\nHow 3E Accounting Can Assist with Your EP Application\nWith constant updates to Singapore’s immigration policies, getting an Employment Pass approved requires more than just submitting forms.\n3E Accounting\nis your trusted partner in ensuring a smooth, compliant, and successful application process\nPackage Fee for Singapore Employment Pass Application\nPackages Available\nFee (SGD)\nEmployment Pass application (including appeal process) ***\n$1,000 (W\/GST $1,090)\nDependent Pass application for spouse \/ children\n$500 (W\/GST $545)\nLong Term Visit Pass application for parents \/ step children\n$500 (W\/GST $545)\nRenewal of Employment Pass ***\n$650 (W\/GST $708.50)\nUpdate changes with MOM (for each transaction)\n$100 (W\/GST $109)\nEP eService account registration and\/or revenue updating for nominee director clients (mandatory to update as stipulated by the Ministry of Manpower prior to work pass application)\n$300 (W\/GST $327)\n* The fee quoted above\nexclude\nout-of-pocket expenses or reimbursement fees such as translation fee, issuance processing fee, any other fees payable to MOM, etc.\n** An additional fee of $200 (W\/GST $219) will apply if you need our assistance to collect the pass on your behalf at 3E’s office.

Designed to attract global talent, the EP opens doors to career growth in a city celebrated for its innovation, business-friendly policies, and high quality of life.\n\nFor companies planning [**incorporate a company in Singapore**](https:\/\/www.3ecpa.com.sg\/incorporation\/), securing the right work pass for foreign directors or key employees is a critical step in operational setup and regulatory compliance. Whether you’re hiring international talent or applying for the pass yourself, understanding the latest updates, eligibility criteria, and application steps is  essential to ensure a smooth and successful approval process.![Singapore Employment Pass](data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgODIwIDI1MCIgd2lkdGg9IjgyMCIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNTAiIHhtbG5zPSJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8yMDAwL3N2ZyI+PC9zdmc+)\n\n## MORE THAN 1,250\n#### Work passes processed\n\n![Human Capital Partner](data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMzMyIDk0IiB3aWR0aD0iMzMyIiBoZWlnaHQ9Ijk0IiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==)\n\nAs a [pioneer member of HCPartners](https:\/\/www.3ecpa.com.sg\/press\/human-capital-partnership\/ \"Human Capital Partnership\"), 3E Accounting is actively involved in [human capital development within the Singapore workforce environment](https:\/\/www.3ecpa.com.sg\/services\/human-resource\/ \"Human Resource\").\n\n![3E Accounting Awarded Best Immigration Consultant in 2021 by Top World Business](data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNzQgOTQiIHdpZHRoPSI3NCIgaGVpZ2h0PSI5NCIgeG1sbnM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIj48L3N2Zz4=)\n\n3E Accounting is recognised as the [Best Immigration Consultant in Singapore for 2021](https:\/\/www.3ecpa.com.sg\/press\/3e-accounting-awarded-best-immigration-consultant-in-2021-by-top-world-business\/ \"Best Immigration Consultant in Singapore for 2021\"). Led by a team of multi-professionals who are at the top of their field.\n\n### What is the Eligibility Criteria for an Employment Pass in Singapore?\n- **Minimum Salary:** As of January 1, 2025, the minimum qualifying salary for EP applicants is SGD 5,600 for general sectors and SGD 6,200 for the financial services sector. For candidates in their mid-40s, the threshold increases to SGD 10,700 and SGD 11,800 respectively.\n- **Educational Qualifications:** Applicants must hold a recognized degree or professional qualification.\n- **Work Experience:** Relevant work experience is essential, with a preference for candidates possessing specialized skills.\n###\n### **What is the COMPASS Framework (stage 2) ?**\nImplemented in 2025, the Complementarity Assessment Framework (COMPASS) evaluates EP applications in Singapore based on a points-based system. Applicants must score at least 40 out of 80 possible points across six criteria:\n\n- C1 – Salary: Compared to local PMET wages\n- C2 – Qualifications: Recognised educational credentials from MOM’s updated institution list\n- C3 – Diversity: Contribution to nationality diversity in the company’s workforce\n- C4 – Support for Local Employment: Company’s ratio of local PMET hires vs. industry peers\n- C5 – Skills Bonus: Role listed on the updated Shortage Occupation List (SOL)\n- C6 – Strategic Economic Priorities Bonus: Employer participates in eligible government economic programs\n\nCandidates earning S\\$22,500\/month or more are exempt from COMPASS entirely\n\n.\n\n### **What is the Application Process for an Employment Pass in Singapore?**\nHere’s the step-by-step guide to apply for an employment pass in 2026:\n\n- **Step 1: Submitting the Application Through the myMOM Portal** The process begins with the employer or an authorised employment agent filing the EP application through [**Singapore’s myMOM Portal**](https:\/\/www.mom.gov.sg\/eservices\/services\/mymom-portal), the official digital gateway for all work pass submissions. The application must include supporting documents such as the candidate’s educational certificates, employment contract, and company details. A non-refundable administrative fee of SGD 105 applies at this stage. MOM typically processes applications within three weeks, though complex cases may take longer.\n\n- **Step 2: Receiving the In-Principle Approval (IPA) Letter** A successful application results in the issuance of an In-Principle Approval letter, a document that carries significant practical weight. Valid for six months from the date of issue, the IPA functions as a pre-approved single-entry visa, permitting the candidate to travel to Singapore to complete the pass formalities. It also specifies whether a medical examination is required upon arrival. Candidates should review the IPA carefully before departure, as it governs the conditions of their entry.\n\n- **Step 3: Arriving in Singapore and Meeting Entry Requirements** Upon arrival, the candidate must present the IPA letter to the immigration officer at the port of entry. Candidates should ensure that overseas vaccination records are updated in Singapore’s National Immunisation Registry before departure, in line with current health entry requirements. Any medical examination stipulated in the IPA must be completed promptly after arrival. Delays in fulfilling these requirements can affect the timeline for pass issuance.\n\n- **Step 4: Completing Pass Issuance Formalities** Within six months of the IPA’s issuance, the employer or employment agent must log in to the myMOM Portal, submit the required documentation, and pay the pass issuance fee of SGD 225, payable via GIRO, Visa, Mastercard, or American Express. Once [**MOM**](https:\/\/www.3ecpa.com.sg\/resources\/business-compendium\/ministry-of-manpower-mom\/) processes the submission, both the employer and the candidate receive a notification letter by email. This letter, valid for one month, authorises the candidate to begin employment and to travel in and out of Singapore while the physical pass card is being prepared.\n\n- **Step 5: Biometric Registration and Delivery of the EP Card** Candidates whose notification letters indicate a biometric requirement must schedule an appointment at the Employment Pass Services Centre (EPSC) and complete fingerprint and photograph registration within two weeks of pass issuance. The original passport, appointment letter, and notification letter are mandatory for the appointment. The EP card is subsequently delivered to the registered address within five working days. MOM issues an SMS or email notification at least one working day before delivery. In the event of two unsuccessful delivery attempts, the card may be collected at the EPSC without a prior appointment after three working days.\n###\n### **What is the Process of Renewing Your Employment Pass in 2026?**\nIf you wish to retain a foreign professional in your organization beyond their current Employment Pass (EP) validity, you must submit a renewal application before the pass expires. As of **1 September 2024**, all **EP renewals** must comply with the **COMPASS (Complementarity Assessment Framework)** criteria, making it essential to plan ahead and ensure your candidate meets the new requirements.\n\n#### **Key Information on EP Renewal:**\n- **When to Apply**:  \n    You can apply for an EP renewal **up to 6 months** before the pass expires. However, it is critical to submit your application before the current pass expires to avoid any disruption in employment.\n  - For EP (Sponsorship cases): Applications can be submitted up to 3 months before expiry.\n- **Who Can Apply**:  \n    Only the employer or an appointed employment agent (EA) is authorized to submit the renewal application.\n- **Renewal Validity**:  \n   A renewed EP can be granted for **up to 3 years**, subject to approval and the candidate’s eligibility under COMPASS.\n### **How 3E’s Singapore Employment Agency can Assist you?**\n- Assistance in completing the Singapore employment self assessment tools with MOM\n- Pre-application information and advice on Work Pass\n- Filing of Work Pass application\n- Tracking Work Pass application status while under processing\n- Liaise with the Direct MOM officer in charge when necessary by 3E’s Singapore employment agency\n- Responding to MOM’s request for additional information as necessary\n- Arranging for the issuance of a Work Pass upon in-principle approval\n- Filing of a maximum of 2 appeals within 3 months from the date of rejection as per MOM’s guideline in case of rejection of Work Pass application\n### **Passes for Family Members of Employment Pass Holders (2026 Update)**\n|   |   |   |   |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| **Family Member** | **Pass Type** | **Minimum Fixed Monthly Salary of EP Holder** | **Eligibility Criteria** |\n| Legally married spouse | Dependant Pass (DP) | SGD **6,000** | EP holder must earn at least SGD 6,000\/month |\n| Unmarried children under 21 years | Dependant Pass (DP) | SGD **6,000** | Including those legally adopted |\n| Common-law spouse | Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) | SGD **12,000** | Documentary proof of common-law relationship required |\n| Unmarried stepchildren under 21 | Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) | SGD **12,000** | Legal documents verifying guardianship or custody required |\n| Parents of EP holder | Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) | SGD **18,000** | Higher threshold reflects greater financial responsibility |\n\n🔎 *Note: Meeting the salary threshold does not guarantee pass approval. Applications are assessed individually by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).*\n\n### **Common Reasons for Employment Pass Application Rejection (2026)**\nGetting rejected for an Employment Pass can be frustrating, especially when your plans to work or hire in Singapore are time-sensitive. Understanding why applications get rejected can help you avoid costly mistakes. Here are the most common reasons:\n\n- **Singapore’s Employment Pass System Operates Under Strict Scrutiny** The Ministry of Manpower enforces one of the most methodical foreign worker evaluation frameworks in Southeast Asia, leaving little room for procedural ambiguity. Professionals and corporations entering this process without precise preparation consistently find themselves on the wrong side of a rejection notice.\n\n- **Falling Below the Minimum Salary Threshold Remains the Leading Disqualifier** The Ministry applies the Complementarity Assessment Framework, known as COMPASS, which scores applicants on a points-based system that rewards competitive compensation packages. Candidates whose offered salaries trail the median wages of local peers in equivalent roles face near-certain rejection under this framework.\n\n- **Unverifiable or Substandard Educational Qualifications Trigger Immediate Risks** Singapore’s authorities cross-reference declared academic credentials against an established list of recognised institutions, and degrees from universities that fall outside that register carry a substantial risk of disqualification. Fraudulent or misrepresented qualifications represent one of the most consequential grounds for rejection and can result in permanent bans from future applications.\n\n- **Employer Credibility and Business Viability Factor Heavily Into Each Decision** The Ministry of Manpower scrutinises the sponsoring employer with equal rigour and a track record of compliance with local labour laws. Companies that have historically under-hired Singaporean nationals, carry regulatory infractions, or demonstrate insufficient operational substance raise significant concerns during the adjudication process. A well-qualified candidate attached to a financially unstable or non-compliant employer faces a materially diminished prospect of approval.\n\n💡 *Tip: Before applying, ensure you do a pre-application review or consult an expert to improve your approval chances.*\n\n##\n### **How 3E Accounting Can Assist with Your EP Application**\nWith constant updates to Singapore’s immigration policies, getting an Employment Pass approved requires more than just submitting forms. **3E Accounting** is your trusted partner in ensuring a smooth, compliant, and successful application process\n\n### Package Fee for Singapore Employment Pass Application\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| **Packages Available** | **Fee (SGD)** |\n| Employment Pass application (including appeal process) \\*\\*\\* | \\$1,000 (W\/GST \\$1,090) |\n| Dependent Pass application for spouse \/ children | \\$500 (W\/GST \\$545) |\n| Long Term Visit Pass application for parents \/ step children | \\$500 (W\/GST \\$545) |\n| Renewal of Employment Pass \\*\\*\\* | \\$650 (W\/GST \\$708.50) |\n| Update changes with MOM (for each transaction) | \\$100 (W\/GST \\$109) |\n| EP eService account registration and\/or revenue updating for nominee director clients (mandatory to update as stipulated by the Ministry of Manpower prior to work pass application) | \\$300 (W\/GST \\$327) |\n\n\\* The fee quoted above exclude out-of-pocket expenses or reimbursement fees such as translation fee, issuance processing fee, any other fees payable to MOM, etc.  \n \\*\\* An additional fee of \\$200 (W\/GST \\$219) will apply if you need our assistance to collect the pass on your behalf at 3E’s office.

For candidates in their mid-40s, the threshold increases to SGD 10,700 and SGD 11,800 respectively.\n- **Educational Qualifications:** Applicants must hold a recognized degree or professional qualification.\n- **Work Experience:** Relevant work experience is essential, with a preference for candidates possessing specialized skills.\n### **What is the COMPASS Framework (stage 2) ?**\nImplemented in 2025, the Complementarity Assessment Framework (COMPASS) evaluates EP applications in Singapore based on a points-based system. Applicants must score at least 40 out of 80 possible points across six criteria:\n\n- C1 – Salary: Compared to local PMET wages\n- C2 – Qualifications: Recognised educational credentials from MOM’s updated institution list\n- C3 – Diversity: Contribution to nationality diversity in the company’s workforce\n- C4 – Support for Local Employment: Company’s ratio of local PMET hires vs. industry peers\n- C5 – Skills Bonus: Role listed on the updated Shortage Occupation List (SOL)\n- C6 – Strategic Economic Priorities Bonus: Employer participates in eligible government economic programs\n\nCandidates earning S\\$22,500\/month or more are exempt from COMPASS entirely\n\n.\n\n### **What is the Application Process for an Employment Pass in Singapore?**\nHere’s the step-by-step guide to apply for an employment pass in 2026:\n\n- **Step 1: Submitting the Application Through the myMOM Portal** The process begins with the employer or an authorised employment agent filing the EP application through [**Singapore’s myMOM Portal**](https:\/\/www.mom.gov.sg\/eservices\/services\/mymom-portal), the official digital gateway for all work pass submissions. The application must include supporting documents such as the candidate’s educational certificates, employment contract, and company details. A non-refundable administrative fee of SGD 105 applies at this stage. MOM typically processes applications within three weeks, though complex cases may take longer.\n\n- **Step 2: Receiving the In-Principle Approval (IPA) Letter** A successful application results in the issuance of an In-Principle Approval letter, a document that carries significant practical weight. Valid for six months from the date of issue, the IPA functions as a pre-approved single-entry visa, permitting the candidate to travel to Singapore to complete the pass formalities. It also specifies whether a medical examination is required upon arrival. Candidates should review the IPA carefully before departure, as it governs the conditions of their entry.\n\n- **Step 3: Arriving in Singapore and Meeting Entry Requirements** Upon arrival, the candidate must present the IPA letter to the immigration officer at the port of entry. Candidates should ensure that overseas vaccination records are updated in Singapore’s National Immunisation Registry before departure, in line with current health entry requirements. Any medical examination stipulated in the IPA must be completed promptly after arrival. Delays in fulfilling these requirements can affect the timeline for pass issuance.\n\n- **Step 4: Completing Pass Issuance Formalities** Within six months of the IPA’s issuance, the employer or employment agent must log in to the myMOM Portal, submit the required documentation, and pay the pass issuance fee of SGD 225, payable via GIRO, Visa, Mastercard, or American Express. Once [**MOM**](https:\/\/www.3ecpa.com.sg\/resources\/business-compendium\/ministry-of-manpower-mom\/) processes the submission, both the employer and the candidate receive a notification letter by email. This letter, valid for one month, authorises the candidate to begin employment and to travel in and out of Singapore while the physical pass card is being prepared.\n\n- **Step 5: Biometric Registration and Delivery of the EP Card** Candidates whose notification letters indicate a biometric requirement must schedule an appointment at the Employment Pass Services Centre (EPSC) and complete fingerprint and photograph registration within two weeks of pass issuance. The original passport, appointment letter, and notification letter are mandatory for the appointment. The EP card is subsequently delivered to the registered address within five working days. MOM issues an SMS or email notification at least one working day before delivery. In the event of two unsuccessful delivery attempts, the card may be collected at the EPSC without a prior appointment after three working days.\n### **What is the Process of Renewing Your Employment Pass in 2026?**\nIf you wish to retain a foreign professional in your organization beyond their current Employment Pass (EP) validity, you must submit a renewal application before the pass expires. As of **1 September 2024**, all **EP renewals** must comply with the **COMPASS (Complementarity Assessment Framework)** criteria, making it essential to plan ahead and ensure your candidate meets the new requirements.\n\n#### **Key Information on EP Renewal:**\n- **When to Apply**:  \n    You can apply for an EP renewal **up to 6 months** before the pass expires. However, it is critical to submit your application before the current pass expires to avoid any disruption in employment.\n  - For EP (Sponsorship cases): Applications can be submitted up to 3 months before expiry.\n- **Who Can Apply**:  \n    Only the employer or an appointed employment agent (EA) is authorized to submit the renewal application.\n- **Renewal Validity**:  \n   A renewed EP can be granted for **up to 3 years**, subject to approval and the candidate’s eligibility under COMPASS.\n### **How 3E’s Singapore Employment Agency can Assist you?**\n- Assistance in completing the Singapore employment self assessment tools with MOM\n- Pre-application information and advice on Work Pass\n- Filing of Work Pass application\n- Tracking Work Pass application status while under processing\n- Liaise with the Direct MOM officer in charge when necessary by 3E’s Singapore employment agency\n- Responding to MOM’s request for additional information as necessary\n- Arranging for the issuance of a Work Pass upon in-principle approval\n- Filing of a maximum of 2 appeals within 3 months from the date of rejection as per MOM’s guideline in case of rejection of Work Pass application\n### **Passes for Family Members of Employment Pass Holders (2026 Update)**\n|   |   |   |   |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| **Family Member** | **Pass Type** | **Minimum Fixed Monthly Salary of EP Holder** | **Eligibility Criteria** |\n| Legally married spouse | Dependant Pass (DP) | SGD **6,000** | EP holder must earn at least SGD 6,000\/month |\n| Unmarried children under 21 years | Dependant Pass (DP) | SGD **6,000** | Including those legally adopted |\n| Common-law spouse | Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) | SGD **12,000** | Documentary proof of common-law relationship required |\n| Unmarried stepchildren under 21 | Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) | SGD **12,000** | Legal documents verifying guardianship or custody required |\n| Parents of EP holder | Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) | SGD **18,000** | Higher threshold reflects greater financial responsibility |\n\n🔎 *Note: Meeting the salary threshold does not guarantee pass approval. Applications are assessed individually by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).*\n\n### **Common Reasons for Employment Pass Application Rejection (2026)**\nGetting rejected for an Employment Pass can be frustrating, especially when your plans to work or hire in Singapore are time-sensitive. Understanding why applications get rejected can help you avoid costly mistakes. Here are the most common reasons:\n\n- **Singapore’s Employment Pass System Operates Under Strict Scrutiny** The Ministry of Manpower enforces one of the most methodical foreign worker evaluation frameworks in Southeast Asia, leaving little room for procedural ambiguity. Professionals and corporations entering this process without precise preparation consistently find themselves on the wrong side of a rejection notice.\n\n- **Falling Below the Minimum Salary Threshold Remains the Leading Disqualifier** The Ministry applies the Complementarity Assessment Framework, known as COMPASS, which scores applicants on a points-based system that rewards competitive compensation packages. Candidates whose offered salaries trail the median wages of local peers in equivalent roles face near-certain rejection under this framework.\n\n- **Unverifiable or Substandard Educational Qualifications Trigger Immediate Risks** Singapore’s authorities cross-reference declared academic credentials against an established list of recognised institutions, and degrees from universities that fall outside that register carry a substantial risk of disqualification. Fraudulent or misrepresented qualifications represent one of the most consequential grounds for rejection and can result in permanent bans from future applications.\n\n- **Employer Credibility and Business Viability Factor Heavily Into Each Decision** The Ministry of Manpower scrutinises the sponsoring employer with equal rigour and a track record of compliance with local labour laws. Companies that have historically under-hired Singaporean nationals, carry regulatory infractions, or demonstrate insufficient operational substance raise significant concerns during the adjudication process. A well-qualified candidate attached to a financially unstable or non-compliant employer faces a materially diminished prospect of approval.\n\n💡 *Tip: Before applying, ensure you do a pre-application review or consult an expert to improve your approval chances.*\n\n### **How 3E Accounting Can Assist with Your EP Application**\nWith constant updates to Singapore’s immigration policies, getting an Employment Pass approved requires more than just submitting forms. **3E Accounting** is your trusted partner in ensuring a smooth, compliant, and successful application process\n\n### Package Fee for Singapore Employment Pass Application\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| **Packages Available** | **Fee (SGD)** |\n| Employment Pass application (including appeal process) \\*\\*\\* | \\$1,000 (W\/GST \\$1,090) |\n| Dependent Pass application for spouse \/ children | \\$500 (W\/GST \\$545) |\n| Long Term Visit Pass application for parents \/ step children | \\$500 (W\/GST \\$545) |\n| Renewal of Employment Pass \\*\\*\\* | \\$650 (W\/GST \\$708.50) |\n| Update changes with MOM (for each transaction) | \\$100 (W\/GST \\$109) |\n| EP eService account registration and\/or revenue updating for nominee director clients (mandatory to update as stipulated by the Ministry of Manpower prior to work pass application) | \\$300 (W\/GST \\$327) |\n\n\\* The fee quoted above exclude out-of-pocket expenses or reimbursement fees such as translation fee, issuance processing fee, any other fees payable to MOM, etc.  \n \\*\\* An additional fee of \\$200 (W\/GST \\$219) will apply if you need our assistance to collect the pass on your behalf at 3E’s office.

Boilerpipe Text	What is the Eligibility Criteria for an Employment Pass in Singapore? Minimum Salary: As of January 1, 2025, the minimum qualifying salary for EP applicants is SGD 5,600 for general sectors and SGD 6,200 for the financial services sector. For candidates in their mid-40s, the threshold increases to SGD 10,700 and SGD 11,800 respectively. Educational Qualifications: Applicants must hold a recognized degree or professional qualification. Work Experience: Relevant work experience is essential, with a preference for candidates possessing specialized skills. What is the COMPASS Framework (stage 2) ? Implemented in 2025, the Complementarity Assessment Framework (COMPASS) evaluates EP applications in Singapore based on a points-based system. Applicants must score at least 40 out of 80 possible points across six criteria: C1 – Salary: Compared to local PMET wages C2 – Qualifications: Recognised educational credentials from MOM’s updated institution list C3 – Diversity: Contribution to nationality diversity in the company’s workforce C4 – Support for Local Employment: Company’s ratio of local PMET hires vs. industry peers C5 – Skills Bonus: Role listed on the updated Shortage Occupation List (SOL) C6 – Strategic Economic Priorities Bonus: Employer participates in eligible government economic programs Candidates earning S$22,500/month or more are exempt from COMPASS entirely . What is the Application Process for an Employment Pass in Singapore? Here’s the step-by-step guide to apply for an employment pass in 2026: Step 1: Submitting the Application Through the myMOM Portal The process begins with the employer or an authorised employment agent filing the EP application through Singapore’s myMOM Portal , the official digital gateway for all work pass submissions. The application must include supporting documents such as the candidate’s educational certificates, employment contract, and company details. A non-refundable administrative fee of SGD 105 applies at this stage. MOM typically processes applications within three weeks, though complex cases may take longer. Step 2: Receiving the In-Principle Approval (IPA) Letter A successful application results in the issuance of an In-Principle Approval letter, a document that carries significant practical weight. Valid for six months from the date of issue, the IPA functions as a pre-approved single-entry visa, permitting the candidate to travel to Singapore to complete the pass formalities. It also specifies whether a medical examination is required upon arrival. Candidates should review the IPA carefully before departure, as it governs the conditions of their entry. Step 3: Arriving in Singapore and Meeting Entry Requirements Upon arrival, the candidate must present the IPA letter to the immigration officer at the port of entry. Candidates should ensure that overseas vaccination records are updated in Singapore’s National Immunisation Registry before departure, in line with current health entry requirements. Any medical examination stipulated in the IPA must be completed promptly after arrival. Delays in fulfilling these requirements can affect the timeline for pass issuance. Step 4: Completing Pass Issuance Formalities Within six months of the IPA’s issuance, the employer or employment agent must log in to the myMOM Portal, submit the required documentation, and pay the pass issuance fee of SGD 225, payable via GIRO, Visa, Mastercard, or American Express. Once MOM processes the submission, both the employer and the candidate receive a notification letter by email. This letter, valid for one month, authorises the candidate to begin employment and to travel in and out of Singapore while the physical pass card is being prepared. Step 5: Biometric Registration and Delivery of the EP Card Candidates whose notification letters indicate a biometric requirement must schedule an appointment at the Employment Pass Services Centre (EPSC) and complete fingerprint and photograph registration within two weeks of pass issuance. The original passport, appointment letter, and notification letter are mandatory for the appointment. The EP card is subsequently delivered to the registered address within five working days. MOM issues an SMS or email notification at least one working day before delivery. In the event of two unsuccessful delivery attempts, the card may be collected at the EPSC without a prior appointment after three working days. What is the Process of Renewing Your Employment Pass in 2026? If you wish to retain a foreign professional in your organization beyond their current Employment Pass (EP) validity, you must submit a renewal application before the pass expires. As of 1 September 2024 , all EP renewals must comply with the COMPASS (Complementarity Assessment Framework) criteria, making it essential to plan ahead and ensure your candidate meets the new requirements. Key Information on EP Renewal: When to Apply : You can apply for an EP renewal up to 6 months before the pass expires. However, it is critical to submit your application before the current pass expires to avoid any disruption in employment. For EP (Sponsorship cases): Applications can be submitted up to 3 months before expiry. Who Can Apply : Only the employer or an appointed employment agent (EA) is authorized to submit the renewal application. Renewal Validity : A renewed EP can be granted for up to 3 years , subject to approval and the candidate’s eligibility under COMPASS. How 3E’s Singapore Employment Agency can Assist you?

Designed to attract global talent, the EP opens doors to career growth in a city celebrated for its innovation, business-friendly policies, and high quality of life. For companies planning [incorporate a company in Singapore](https://www.3ecpa.com.sg/incorporation/), securing the right work pass for foreign directors or key employees is a critical step in operational setup and regulatory compliance. Whether you’re hiring international talent or applying for the pass yourself, understanding the latest updates, eligibility criteria, and application steps is essential to ensure a smooth and successful approval process.![Singapore Employment Pass](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgODIwIDI1MCIgd2lkdGg9IjgyMCIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNTAiIHhtbG5zPSJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8yMDAwL3N2ZyI+PC9zdmc+) ## MORE THAN 1,250 #### Work passes processed ![Human Capital Partner](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMzMyIDk0IiB3aWR0aD0iMzMyIiBoZWlnaHQ9Ijk0IiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==) As a [pioneer member of HCPartners](https://www.3ecpa.com.sg/press/human-capital-partnership/ "Human Capital Partnership"), 3E Accounting is actively involved in [human capital development within the Singapore workforce environment](https://www.3ecpa.com.sg/services/human-resource/ "Human Resource"). ![3E Accounting Awarded Best Immigration Consultant in 2021 by Top World Business](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNzQgOTQiIHdpZHRoPSI3NCIgaGVpZ2h0PSI5NCIgeG1sbnM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIj48L3N2Zz4=) 3E Accounting is recognised as the [Best Immigration Consultant in Singapore for 2021](https://www.3ecpa.com.sg/press/3e-accounting-awarded-best-immigration-consultant-in-2021-by-top-world-business/ "Best Immigration Consultant in Singapore for 2021"). Led by a team of multi-professionals who are at the top of their field. ### What is the Eligibility Criteria for an Employment Pass in Singapore? - Minimum Salary: As of January 1, 2025, the minimum qualifying salary for EP applicants is SGD 5,600 for general sectors and SGD 6,200 for the financial services sector. For candidates in their mid-40s, the threshold increases to SGD 10,700 and SGD 11,800 respectively. - Educational Qualifications: Applicants must hold a recognized degree or professional qualification. - Work Experience: Relevant work experience is essential, with a preference for candidates possessing specialized skills. ### ### What is the COMPASS Framework (stage 2) ? Implemented in 2025, the Complementarity Assessment Framework (COMPASS) evaluates EP applications in Singapore based on a points-based system. Applicants must score at least 40 out of 80 possible points across six criteria: - C1 – Salary: Compared to local PMET wages - C2 – Qualifications: Recognised educational credentials from MOM’s updated institution list - C3 – Diversity: Contribution to nationality diversity in the company’s workforce - C4 – Support for Local Employment: Company’s ratio of local PMET hires vs. industry peers - C5 – Skills Bonus: Role listed on the updated Shortage Occupation List (SOL) - C6 – Strategic Economic Priorities Bonus: Employer participates in eligible government economic programs Candidates earning S\$22,500/month or more are exempt from COMPASS entirely . ### What is the Application Process for an Employment Pass in Singapore? Here’s the step-by-step guide to apply for an employment pass in 2026: - Step 1: Submitting the Application Through the myMOM Portal The process begins with the employer or an authorised employment agent filing the EP application through [Singapore’s myMOM Portal](https://www.mom.gov.sg/eservices/services/mymom-portal), the official digital gateway for all work pass submissions. The application must include supporting documents such as the candidate’s educational certificates, employment contract, and company details. A non-refundable administrative fee of SGD 105 applies at this stage. MOM typically processes applications within three weeks, though complex cases may take longer. - Step 2: Receiving the In-Principle Approval (IPA) Letter A successful application results in the issuance of an In-Principle Approval letter, a document that carries significant practical weight. Valid for six months from the date of issue, the IPA functions as a pre-approved single-entry visa, permitting the candidate to travel to Singapore to complete the pass formalities. It also specifies whether a medical examination is required upon arrival. Candidates should review the IPA carefully before departure, as it governs the conditions of their entry. - Step 3: Arriving in Singapore and Meeting Entry Requirements Upon arrival, the candidate must present the IPA letter to the immigration officer at the port of entry. Candidates should ensure that overseas vaccination records are updated in Singapore’s National Immunisation Registry before departure, in line with current health entry requirements. Any medical examination stipulated in the IPA must be completed promptly after arrival. Delays in fulfilling these requirements can affect the timeline for pass issuance. - Step 4: Completing Pass Issuance Formalities Within six months of the IPA’s issuance, the employer or employment agent must log in to the myMOM Portal, submit the required documentation, and pay the pass issuance fee of SGD 225, payable via GIRO, Visa, Mastercard, or American Express. Once [MOM](https://www.3ecpa.com.sg/resources/business-compendium/ministry-of-manpower-mom/) processes the submission, both the employer and the candidate receive a notification letter by email. This letter, valid for one month, authorises the candidate to begin employment and to travel in and out of Singapore while the physical pass card is being prepared. - Step 5: Biometric Registration and Delivery of the EP Card Candidates whose notification letters indicate a biometric requirement must schedule an appointment at the Employment Pass Services Centre (EPSC) and complete fingerprint and photograph registration within two weeks of pass issuance. The original passport, appointment letter, and notification letter are mandatory for the appointment. The EP card is subsequently delivered to the registered address within five working days. MOM issues an SMS or email notification at least one working day before delivery. In the event of two unsuccessful delivery attempts, the card may be collected at the EPSC without a prior appointment after three working days. ### ### What is the Process of Renewing Your Employment Pass in 2026? If you wish to retain a foreign professional in your organization beyond their current Employment Pass (EP) validity, you must submit a renewal application before the pass expires. As of 1 September 2024, all EP renewals must comply with the COMPASS (Complementarity Assessment Framework) criteria, making it essential to plan ahead and ensure your candidate meets the new requirements. #### Key Information on EP Renewal: - When to Apply: You can apply for an EP renewal up to 6 months before the pass expires. However, it is critical to submit your application before the current pass expires to avoid any disruption in employment. - For EP (Sponsorship cases): Applications can be submitted up to 3 months before expiry. - Who Can Apply: Only the employer or an appointed employment agent (EA) is authorized to submit the renewal application. - Renewal Validity: A renewed EP can be granted for up to 3 years, subject to approval and the candidate’s eligibility under COMPASS. ### How 3E’s Singapore Employment Agency can Assist you? - Assistance in completing the Singapore employment self assessment tools with MOM - Pre-application information and advice on Work Pass - Filing of Work Pass application - Tracking Work Pass application status while under processing - Liaise with the Direct MOM officer in charge when necessary by 3E’s Singapore employment agency - Responding to MOM’s request for additional information as necessary - Arranging for the issuance of a Work Pass upon in-principle approval - Filing of a maximum of 2 appeals within 3 months from the date of rejection as per MOM’s guideline in case of rejection of Work Pass application ### Passes for Family Members of Employment Pass Holders (2026 Update) \| \| \| \| \| \|---\|---\|---\|---\| \| Family Member \| Pass Type \| Minimum Fixed Monthly Salary of EP Holder \| Eligibility Criteria \| \| Legally married spouse \| Dependant Pass (DP) \| SGD 6,000 \| EP holder must earn at least SGD 6,000/month \| \| Unmarried children under 21 years \| Dependant Pass (DP) \| SGD 6,000 \| Including those legally adopted \| \| Common-law spouse \| Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) \| SGD 12,000 \| Documentary proof of common-law relationship required \| \| Unmarried stepchildren under 21 \| Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) \| SGD 12,000 \| Legal documents verifying guardianship or custody required \| \| Parents of EP holder \| Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) \| SGD 18,000 \| Higher threshold reflects greater financial responsibility \| 🔎 Note: Meeting the salary threshold does not guarantee pass approval. Applications are assessed individually by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). ### Common Reasons for Employment Pass Application Rejection (2026) Getting rejected for an Employment Pass can be frustrating, especially when your plans to work or hire in Singapore are time-sensitive. Understanding why applications get rejected can help you avoid costly mistakes. Here are the most common reasons: - Singapore’s Employment Pass System Operates Under Strict Scrutiny The Ministry of Manpower enforces one of the most methodical foreign worker evaluation frameworks in Southeast Asia, leaving little room for procedural ambiguity. Professionals and corporations entering this process without precise preparation consistently find themselves on the wrong side of a rejection notice. - Falling Below the Minimum Salary Threshold Remains the Leading Disqualifier The Ministry applies the Complementarity Assessment Framework, known as COMPASS, which scores applicants on a points-based system that rewards competitive compensation packages. Candidates whose offered salaries trail the median wages of local peers in equivalent roles face near-certain rejection under this framework. - Unverifiable or Substandard Educational Qualifications Trigger Immediate Risks Singapore’s authorities cross-reference declared academic credentials against an established list of recognised institutions, and degrees from universities that fall outside that register carry a substantial risk of disqualification. Fraudulent or misrepresented qualifications represent one of the most consequential grounds for rejection and can result in permanent bans from future applications. - Employer Credibility and Business Viability Factor Heavily Into Each Decision The Ministry of Manpower scrutinises the sponsoring employer with equal rigour and a track record of compliance with local labour laws. Companies that have historically under-hired Singaporean nationals, carry regulatory infractions, or demonstrate insufficient operational substance raise significant concerns during the adjudication process. A well-qualified candidate attached to a financially unstable or non-compliant employer faces a materially diminished prospect of approval. 💡 Tip: Before applying, ensure you do a pre-application review or consult an expert to improve your approval chances. ## ### How 3E Accounting Can Assist with Your EP Application With constant updates to Singapore’s immigration policies, getting an Employment Pass approved requires more than just submitting forms. 3E Accounting is your trusted partner in ensuring a smooth, compliant, and successful application process ### Package Fee for Singapore Employment Pass Application \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Packages Available \| Fee (SGD) \| \| Employment Pass application (including appeal process) \\\* \| \$1,000 (W/GST \$1,090) \| \| Dependent Pass application for spouse / children \| \$500 (W/GST \$545) \| \| Long Term Visit Pass application for parents / step children \| \$500 (W/GST \$545) \| \| Renewal of Employment Pass \\\* \| \$650 (W/GST \$708.50) \| \| Update changes with MOM (for each transaction) \| \$100 (W/GST \$109) \| \| EP eService account registration and/or revenue updating for nominee director clients (mandatory to update as stipulated by the Ministry of Manpower prior to work pass application) \| \$300 (W/GST \$327) \| \* The fee quoted above exclude out-of-pocket expenses or reimbursement fees such as translation fee, issuance processing fee, any other fees payable to MOM, etc. \\ An additional fee of \$200 (W/GST \$219) will apply if you need our assistance to collect the pass on your behalf at 3E’s office.

Readable Markdown	### What is the Eligibility Criteria for an Employment Pass in Singapore? - Minimum Salary: As of January 1, 2025, the minimum qualifying salary for EP applicants is SGD 5,600 for general sectors and SGD 6,200 for the financial services sector. For candidates in their mid-40s, the threshold increases to SGD 10,700 and SGD 11,800 respectively. - Educational Qualifications: Applicants must hold a recognized degree or professional qualification. - Work Experience: Relevant work experience is essential, with a preference for candidates possessing specialized skills. ### What is the COMPASS Framework (stage 2) ? Implemented in 2025, the Complementarity Assessment Framework (COMPASS) evaluates EP applications in Singapore based on a points-based system. Applicants must score at least 40 out of 80 possible points across six criteria: - C1 – Salary: Compared to local PMET wages - C2 – Qualifications: Recognised educational credentials from MOM’s updated institution list - C3 – Diversity: Contribution to nationality diversity in the company’s workforce - C4 – Support for Local Employment: Company’s ratio of local PMET hires vs. industry peers - C5 – Skills Bonus: Role listed on the updated Shortage Occupation List (SOL) - C6 – Strategic Economic Priorities Bonus: Employer participates in eligible government economic programs Candidates earning S\$22,500/month or more are exempt from COMPASS entirely . ### What is the Application Process for an Employment Pass in Singapore? Here’s the step-by-step guide to apply for an employment pass in 2026: - Step 1: Submitting the Application Through the myMOM Portal The process begins with the employer or an authorised employment agent filing the EP application through [Singapore’s myMOM Portal](https://www.mom.gov.sg/eservices/services/mymom-portal), the official digital gateway for all work pass submissions. The application must include supporting documents such as the candidate’s educational certificates, employment contract, and company details. A non-refundable administrative fee of SGD 105 applies at this stage. MOM typically processes applications within three weeks, though complex cases may take longer. - Step 2: Receiving the In-Principle Approval (IPA) Letter A successful application results in the issuance of an In-Principle Approval letter, a document that carries significant practical weight. Valid for six months from the date of issue, the IPA functions as a pre-approved single-entry visa, permitting the candidate to travel to Singapore to complete the pass formalities. It also specifies whether a medical examination is required upon arrival. Candidates should review the IPA carefully before departure, as it governs the conditions of their entry. - Step 3: Arriving in Singapore and Meeting Entry Requirements Upon arrival, the candidate must present the IPA letter to the immigration officer at the port of entry. Candidates should ensure that overseas vaccination records are updated in Singapore’s National Immunisation Registry before departure, in line with current health entry requirements. Any medical examination stipulated in the IPA must be completed promptly after arrival. Delays in fulfilling these requirements can affect the timeline for pass issuance. - Step 4: Completing Pass Issuance Formalities Within six months of the IPA’s issuance, the employer or employment agent must log in to the myMOM Portal, submit the required documentation, and pay the pass issuance fee of SGD 225, payable via GIRO, Visa, Mastercard, or American Express. Once [MOM](https://www.3ecpa.com.sg/resources/business-compendium/ministry-of-manpower-mom/) processes the submission, both the employer and the candidate receive a notification letter by email. This letter, valid for one month, authorises the candidate to begin employment and to travel in and out of Singapore while the physical pass card is being prepared. - Step 5: Biometric Registration and Delivery of the EP Card Candidates whose notification letters indicate a biometric requirement must schedule an appointment at the Employment Pass Services Centre (EPSC) and complete fingerprint and photograph registration within two weeks of pass issuance. The original passport, appointment letter, and notification letter are mandatory for the appointment. The EP card is subsequently delivered to the registered address within five working days. MOM issues an SMS or email notification at least one working day before delivery. In the event of two unsuccessful delivery attempts, the card may be collected at the EPSC without a prior appointment after three working days. ### What is the Process of Renewing Your Employment Pass in 2026? If you wish to retain a foreign professional in your organization beyond their current Employment Pass (EP) validity, you must submit a renewal application before the pass expires. As of 1 September 2024, all EP renewals must comply with the COMPASS (Complementarity Assessment Framework) criteria, making it essential to plan ahead and ensure your candidate meets the new requirements. #### Key Information on EP Renewal: - When to Apply: You can apply for an EP renewal up to 6 months before the pass expires. However, it is critical to submit your application before the current pass expires to avoid any disruption in employment. - For EP (Sponsorship cases): Applications can be submitted up to 3 months before expiry. - Who Can Apply: Only the employer or an appointed employment agent (EA) is authorized to submit the renewal application. - Renewal Validity: A renewed EP can be granted for up to 3 years, subject to approval and the candidate’s eligibility under COMPASS. ### How 3E’s Singapore Employment Agency can Assist you? - Assistance in completing the Singapore employment self assessment tools with MOM - Pre-application information and advice on Work Pass - Filing of Work Pass application - Tracking Work Pass application status while under processing - Liaise with the Direct MOM officer in charge when necessary by 3E’s Singapore employment agency - Responding to MOM’s request for additional information as necessary - Arranging for the issuance of a Work Pass upon in-principle approval - Filing of a maximum of 2 appeals within 3 months from the date of rejection as per MOM’s guideline in case of rejection of Work Pass application ### Passes for Family Members of Employment Pass Holders (2026 Update) \| \| \| \| \| \|---\|---\|---\|---\| \| Family Member \| Pass Type \| Minimum Fixed Monthly Salary of EP Holder \| Eligibility Criteria \| \| Legally married spouse \| Dependant Pass (DP) \| SGD 6,000 \| EP holder must earn at least SGD 6,000/month \| \| Unmarried children under 21 years \| Dependant Pass (DP) \| SGD 6,000 \| Including those legally adopted \| \| Common-law spouse \| Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) \| SGD 12,000 \| Documentary proof of common-law relationship required \| \| Unmarried stepchildren under 21 \| Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) \| SGD 12,000 \| Legal documents verifying guardianship or custody required \| \| Parents of EP holder \| Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) \| SGD 18,000 \| Higher threshold reflects greater financial responsibility \| 🔎 Note: Meeting the salary threshold does not guarantee pass approval. Applications are assessed individually by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). ### Common Reasons for Employment Pass Application Rejection (2026) Getting rejected for an Employment Pass can be frustrating, especially when your plans to work or hire in Singapore are time-sensitive. Understanding why applications get rejected can help you avoid costly mistakes. Here are the most common reasons: - Singapore’s Employment Pass System Operates Under Strict Scrutiny The Ministry of Manpower enforces one of the most methodical foreign worker evaluation frameworks in Southeast Asia, leaving little room for procedural ambiguity. Professionals and corporations entering this process without precise preparation consistently find themselves on the wrong side of a rejection notice. - Falling Below the Minimum Salary Threshold Remains the Leading Disqualifier The Ministry applies the Complementarity Assessment Framework, known as COMPASS, which scores applicants on a points-based system that rewards competitive compensation packages. Candidates whose offered salaries trail the median wages of local peers in equivalent roles face near-certain rejection under this framework. - Unverifiable or Substandard Educational Qualifications Trigger Immediate Risks Singapore’s authorities cross-reference declared academic credentials against an established list of recognised institutions, and degrees from universities that fall outside that register carry a substantial risk of disqualification. Fraudulent or misrepresented qualifications represent one of the most consequential grounds for rejection and can result in permanent bans from future applications. - Employer Credibility and Business Viability Factor Heavily Into Each Decision The Ministry of Manpower scrutinises the sponsoring employer with equal rigour and a track record of compliance with local labour laws. Companies that have historically under-hired Singaporean nationals, carry regulatory infractions, or demonstrate insufficient operational substance raise significant concerns during the adjudication process. A well-qualified candidate attached to a financially unstable or non-compliant employer faces a materially diminished prospect of approval. 💡 Tip: Before applying, ensure you do a pre-application review or consult an expert to improve your approval chances. ### How 3E Accounting Can Assist with Your EP Application With constant updates to Singapore’s immigration policies, getting an Employment Pass approved requires more than just submitting forms. 3E Accounting is your trusted partner in ensuring a smooth, compliant, and successful application process ### Package Fee for Singapore Employment Pass Application \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| Packages Available \| Fee (SGD) \| \| Employment Pass application (including appeal process) \\\* \| \$1,000 (W/GST \$1,090) \| \| Dependent Pass application for spouse / children \| \$500 (W/GST \$545) \| \| Long Term Visit Pass application for parents / step children \| \$500 (W/GST \$545) \| \| Renewal of Employment Pass \\\* \| \$650 (W/GST \$708.50) \| \| Update changes with MOM (for each transaction) \| \$100 (W/GST \$109) \| \| EP eService account registration and/or revenue updating for nominee director clients (mandatory to update as stipulated by the Ministry of Manpower prior to work pass application) \| \$300 (W/GST \$327) \| \* The fee quoted above exclude out-of-pocket expenses or reimbursement fees such as translation fee, issuance processing fee, any other fees payable to MOM, etc. \\ An additional fee of \$200 (W/GST \$219) will apply if you need our assistance to collect the pass on your behalf at 3E’s office.
