Hi Scott,

Yes, that’s true. Alternatively, if you are well paid in your current overseas job i.e. earn more than SGD$8,000 per month, you can also consider the PEP – a five year Personalised Employment Pass, whereby you have up to 6 months to register with a Singapore employer, and up to 6 months between jobs during the validity period of the pass. Basically, Singapore is looking for skilled and altruistic foreigners to create jobs for locals, or impart their specialised skill sets/international exposure.

3 Ways to Combine Work and Study in Singapore As a Foreigner. You will hear many discouraging comments about applying for a job in Singapore as a foreigner, but I know numerous people who have done it successfully, including myself. Like in any country, you do have a certain disadvantage as a foreigner. If a company has several applicants for a job, and all except you are Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents, why do you think they will hire you? They will only do so if you are clearly better qualified than the local applicants.

Hi Anil,

You need to find an employer to sponsor your EP application. I think it is getting more and more difficult for employers to employ “foreign talent” because there is a quota for SPass application – for every 4 Singaporeans/PR on CPF, a firm can have one SPass holder.

Good Luck for your job hunting in Singapore!
