Hazel Poa

Ms Hazel Poa asked the Minister for Manpower whether there will be any minimum experience requirements or minimum educational qualification requirements imposed on experienced tech professionals who are applying for the five-year Employment Pass.

Tan See Leng

We are still reviewing the occupations that will be eligible for the five-year Employment Pass (EP). There will be a salary requirement, as well as specific occupation-based checks, to ensure that candidates are suitably experienced and qualified for their respective roles.

All candidates must earn a monthly salary of at least $10,5001 to proxy for professionals with mid-level experience. Similar to EP applications that rely on the Shortage Occupation List bonus to pass the Complementarity Assessment Framework (COMPASS), the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) will also conduct verification checks to ensure that the applicants have the specialised skills required to perform the stated role, which includes requesting for relevant qualifications.
