Overview

Premium 5-year work visa for top global talent, allowing work for multiple employers simultaneously.

The Overseas Networks & Expertise (ONE) Pass is a Singapore work pass from the Ministry of Manpower for top global talent. Candidates qualify with a fixed monthly salary of at least SGD 30,000, or by demonstrating outstanding achievements in arts and culture, sports, science, technology, academia, or research with an established company.

Valid for up to 5 years and renewable, it costs SGD 330 (SGD 105 application + SGD 225 issuance) and MOM typically assesses applications within 4 weeks. The pass is not tied to one employer: holders may concurrently start, operate, and work for multiple companies. Spouses may work on a Letter of Consent and eligible family members can join on Dependant's Pass or LTVP.

This visa is ideal for elite executives, founders, and globally recognised specialists with multi-company interests seeking long-term, employer-agnostic residency in Singapore.
