Overview
Premium work pass for high-earning professionals earning at least SGD 22,500 per month. Not tied to specific employer, providing greater job mobility and flexibility. Non-renewable but valid for 3 years.
The Personalised Employment Pass (PEP) is designed for high-earning professionals and executives earning at least SGD 22,500 per month (SGD 270,000 annually). Unlike the standard Employment Pass, PEP is not tied to a single employer, allowing holders greater flexibility to change jobs, start a business, or work as a consultant.
The pass is valid for 3 years but is non-renewable - holders must reapply under standard EP or other visa categories if they wish to continue.
