Leong Mun Wai

Mr Leong Mun Wai asked the Minister for Manpower for each year since 2010 (a) how many Employment Pass (EP) applicants have had (i) none, (ii) one, (iii) two, (iv) three and (v) more than four successful EP applications; and (b) what percentage of such groups of applicants have been successful in their most recent EP application.

Tan See Leng

The table below shows the annual average proportion of Employment Pass (EP) applicants from 2010 to 2022 who had no prior past successful EP applications, one to three past successful EP applications, and four or more past successful EP applications.

The vast majority of applications submitted are successful. This is because the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) publishes the EP criteria and provides employers with the Self-Assessment Tool to gauge the likelihood of an EP application being approved before deciding whether to proceed with the application.
