Practice Highlights
Changes to Singapore work pass requirements
The Ministry of Manpower announced on 27 August 2020 that in light of Singapore’s weakening job market and uncertain growth outlook, MOM will update the salary requirements for Employment Pass and S Pass and the job advertising requirements under the Fair Consideration Framework. These changes, as set out below, seek to support Singaporeans in securing meaningful work while ensuring that Singapore remains open to global talent and a connected hub for international businesses.
