How to Relocate to Singapore: Work Passes and Permanent Residence

Singapore offers safety, a simple tax system and an excellent business environment. There is no single “immigration visa”; the usual path is to first obtain a long-term pass to work or run a business in Singapore, and later apply for permanent residence (PR).

Long-term passes

• Employment Pass (EP) for professionals and managers, including self-sponsored EP through your own company
• S Pass for mid-skilled staff
• EntrePass for innovative entrepreneurs
• ONE Pass for top talent
• Dependant’s Pass / LTVP for eligible family members

Permanent residence

After working in Singapore on an EP or S Pass, you may apply for PR with ICA. Applications are assessed holistically (employment, income, length of stay, family, qualifications, age and integration).

Global Investor Programme (GIP)

For established business owners and high-net-worth investors who make a significant investment in Singapore; approved applicants receive PR directly.
