Types of Work Passes

Singapore offers various work passes, including the Work Permit, S-Pass, and Employment Pass, each designed for different skill levels and income requirements.

The primary distinction between S-Pass and E-Pass is the worker’s skill, education, and income level. S-Pass is for mid-skilled workers with lower salary requirements, while E-Pass is for higher-skilled professionals with higher income and education prerequisites.

To upgrade from a Work Permit to an S-Pass, you must meet specific criteria such as the minimum salary ($3,150) and a recognized diploma certificate.

To upgrade from a Work Permit to an E-Pass, you must meet the specific income criteria of $5,000 with a bachelor's degree. Candidates must also pass the COMPASS Framework Criteria with at least 40 points.
