Foreign workers from approved source countries and specific industries (e.g. construction, manufacturing, services, and domestic work) are eligible. The eligibility criteria may vary by industry.

The duration of a Work Permit varies depending on the sector and worker’s employment, usually ranging from 1 to 2 years. It can be renewed if the worker continues to meet the necessary conditions.

Work Permit holders are generally not eligible to bring their family members to Singapore under the Dependant’s Pass or Long Term Visit Pass scheme.

Unlike other passes such as the Employment Pass or S Pass, there is no minimum salary requirement for Work Permit holders. However, employers must adhere to industry-specific wage guidelines.

There is a quota for Work Permit holders in Singapore, which is regulated by the Dependency Ratio Ceiling (DRC). The DRC sets the maximum proportion of foreign workers that a company can employ based on the total workforce. The quota varies by industry.

Employers can apply for a Work Permit online through the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) website. The process includes submitting the necessary documents and paying the application fees.
