Key Facts & Overview

• Who it is for: Eligible foreign professionals, managers, executives, or technical specialists.

• The Expede Edge: Managing timelines can be tricky. We handle the paperwork, track statutory deadlines, and monitor your application status securely through our cloud platform.

  
  

Leveling the Playing Field: Fair Consideration

Before submitting an EP application, Singapore employers must demonstrate that they have fairly considered all jobseekers.

• The Requirement: Employers must typically advertise the job position on the government’s official portal, MyCareersFuture, for at least 14 consecutive days.

• Our Support: Expede Tech ensures your job advertisements strictly meet MOM guidelines to avoid structural rejections or compliance bottlenecks.

  
  

Understanding Eligibility (The 2-Stage Framework)

Securing an EP requires passing MOM’s rigorous assessment system:

• Stage 1: Minimum Qualifying Salary

  Candidates must earn a competitive monthly benchmark. As of recent MOM mandates, candidates need to earn at least $5,600 a month (this benchmark scales up higher depending on age, experience, and if the role is within the Financial Services sector).

• Stage 2: The COMPASS Framework

  Applications are vetted through the points-based Complementarity Assessment Framework (COMPASS). Points are awarded based on individual criteria (Qualifications, Salary) and firm-level criteria (Diversity, Local PMET Support).

• Our Support: We utilize MOM’s Self-Assessment Tool (SAT) and perform rigorous pre-screening audits to ensure your candidate scores the required points before submission.

  
  

Relocating the Family (Passes for Family Members)

We understand that talent relocation involves more than just the employee.

• EP holders earning a fixed monthly salary of at least $6,000 can sponsor immediate family members for a Dependant’s Pass (DP) or Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP).

• Expede Tech manages family visa bundles concurrently with the main EP application to ensure your team moves together smoothly.

  
  

Document Preparation & Submission

MOM demands precise documentation—ranging from verified educational credentials to comprehensive corporate portfolios.

Note on Verification: Degrees from specific regions require third-party verification from MOM-approved screening agencies before submission.

• Cloud Security: Expede Tech hosts your corporate kits and candidate documents securely on our cloud infrastructure, allowing you to upload, review, and approve files remotely.

Renewals, Cancellations, and Compliance Updates

Your corporate compliance doesn't end once the pass is approved. Expede Tech acts as your proactive compliance partner to manage ongoing pass cycles:

• Renewals: We flag upcoming expirations up to 6 months in advance to start the renewal process early.

• MOM Notifications: We promptly notify MOM of necessary company or candidate shifts, including changes to residential addresses, salaries, or passport details.

• Secondary Directorships: If your tech talent needs to step into a governance role on your Board of Directors, we guide you through obtaining MOM's explicit approval.
