🇸🇬 Visas & Immigration — Singapore

Visa Details

Singapore offers several work visa pathways for foreign founders and employees. The EntrePass is designed for entrepreneurs who wish to start and operate a business in Singapore — applicants must meet criteria around innovation, investment, or track record. The Employment Pass (EP) is the standard work visa for professionals earning at least SGD 5,000/month (higher thresholds for experienced candidates), and it now requires passing the COMPASS points-based framework. The S Pass targets mid-skilled workers with a minimum salary of SGD 3,150/month. The Personalised Employment Pass (PEP) is available to high-earning professionals (SGD 22,500/month) and offers greater flexibility. Singapore does not have a dedicated digital nomad visa, but short business visits (up to 90 days for many nationalities) are possible under the standard visa-free entry policy. The ONE Pass targets top talent earning at least SGD 30,000/month with a five-year validity.
