  • Are you considering working in Singapore? Look no further! In this video, I share my extensive knowledge and personal experience of living and working in Singapore for the past 4 years. I discuss the different types of work passes available, including the Work Holiday Pass (WHP), S Pass, and Employment Pass (EP), providing valuable insights into the requirements and application processes for each pass.
    I start by explaining the Work Holiday Pass, which is perfect for students looking to do internships in Singapore. I outline the age and student status requirements, as well as the non-renewable nature of the pass. I also share my personal experience with the Work Holiday Pass and provide tips on increasing your chances of approval.
    Moving on to the S Pass, I address the misconceptions surrounding it and highlight its importance for mid-skilled foreign workers. I explain the minimum salary requirement, educational qualifications, and work experience needed to be eligible for an S Pass. I also shed light on the monthly levy that companies have to pay for S Pass holders and the quota restrictions.
    Finally, I delve into the Employment Pass, which is designed for higher-skilled foreign professionals. I emphasize the higher requirements in terms of education, work experience, and minimum salary for an EP. I share my personal journey of starting with an S Pass and eventually transitioning to an EP, assuring you that the S Pass is a viable option for those who don’t initially qualify for an EP.
    Throughout the video, I address frequently asked questions and provide valuable insights and advice. I clarify doubts about age restrictions, the timing of applying for a Work Holiday Pass, the duration of stays, salary requirements, and the possibility of switching between passes.
    For anyone considering working in Singapore, this video is a must-watch. So, get ready to dive into the world of work passes in Singapore with me as your trusted guide. Don’t miss out on this informative and insightful video!
