With thetightening ofSingapore’sEmployment Pass(EP) policy, many applicants think that“it’s a tough time now” and thatthey will definitely be rejected if they just submit their documents.
But the fact is thatthe higher threshold is not a rejection of talent, but a prioritization of those who are truly valuable and can bring economic contribution to Singapore.
Today, we share areal-life case of anEPapproved in less than 1 week, in the hope that it will give a little more direction and confidence to those who are considering Singapore identity planning.
01｜From submission to approval, it took only5days.
ClientC,submittedEPapplicationonNovember12thandwas successfully approved on November17th.
In the currentsituation whereit is common to take3 to 8weeks to review, or even to reissue or reject a visa,a one-time pass, and in only5days, is certainly a very bright result.
But it’s not luck, it’squalification+planning+material logic that’s missing.
02｜Applicant’s background: Not“want to come“, but“need to come“.
Mr.Ccomes from the manufacturing industry and has many years of senior management experience. In the past, he was responsible for corporate strategic planning, multinational business development, supply chain integration and project operation implementation. He is not a“highly educated applicant” inthe traditional sense, but he has 3 major advantages:
①Real industry experience:years of responsibility for business operations, managing teams, promoting production line upgrades and business growth, with verifiable achievements.
②Enterprise strategy and internationalization capability:not only doing operations, but also participating in the international layout of the enterprise, including ASEAN market expansion and supply chain configuration.
③ High match between competence and position:Applicants are holding management level positions in Singapore companies, which perfectly matches with the resume, function and salary range.
Therefore, in the SingaporeMOM(Ministry of Manpower) review framework,Mr.Cnot only meets the requirements, but also has thejob justification, experience necessity and business support.
03｜The core of success is not“a lot of material“but“the right material“.
Many applicants think: the thicker the material, the better, butthe real test of an EP application is 3 questions:
① Why you?
② Why come now?
③ What will happen if you don’t come?
The focus ofC’s total material planning is centered around these 3 points, which are professionally organized to be clearly seen by the reviewing officer:
The position needs him, not just any replacement.
Throughout the application process, we did 3 key things:
1. AdvanceCOMPASSscore and risk prediction
Since the new system has gone live,EPaudits are more quantitative, and we’ll start with a measurement forChiefC:
Salary Score;
Industry and job match;
Rationalization of the corporate recruitment structure;
Singapore Local Contribution;
Ensure that conditions are up to standard and structured, rather than blindly submitted.
2.Optimize the structure of the material instead of stacking certificates
We focus on presenting:
Management ability, real performance, industry scarcity, necessity of Singapore position, future development plan of the company.
Reviewers don’t need thick documents, they needclear logic and verifiable facts.
3,grasp the submission time node and approval rhythm
Not every time is the same. Depending on the time of establishment, the direction of the business layout, and the policy cycle, we choose thebest timeto file to minimize the risk of waiting and reimbursement.
As a result,it was approved in one go, with no explanation or additional information required.
Pic/C Chief C managed to get EP, stolen picture must be punished!
04｜What doesEPapprovalmeanforChiefC?
EPis not only a permit, but also an important base point for enterprise layout and personal strategy upgrade.
ForTotalC, it means:
Can legally work and operate a business in Singapore for a long period of time → key node for internationalization of a business;
Can operate a company in the name of a legal officer → Higher commercial credibility;
You can apply for a Dependent Permit for your spouse and children → Simultaneous planning of life and education;
Simultaneous planning for life and education → opens up space for long-term identity and global planning.
One step on the ground, with future planning gradually unfolding:
EP → Corporate Operations → PRApplication → Long-term Overseas Identity and Asset Structure Optimization.
05｜Written forthose whoare consideringEPapplication
Not everyone is a good candidate forEP, but if you meet any of the following, you should plan carefully:
The company needs Singapore as a global business node;has multinational business, supply chain or customer needs;has professional competence, management experience or scarce skills in the industry; andwants to plan ahead for family education, asset allocation or identity planning.
The future trend is very clear:those who are unprepared are getting harder and harder to pass, and those who have a strategy and a plan are instead faster and more stable.
Conclusion:EPis not difficult, it’s about the right approach
The case of ChiefCtells us that:
It’s not that you can’t apply if the policy gets stricter, it’s that random applicants can no longer walk through.
If you wish to obtain:
Qualification pre-assessment, application strategy planning, document optimization and logical presentation,,EP → PR →identity extension path design.
Well,let the professionals do what the professionals do.
We help you: qualification review → optimization of documents →submission for approval → approval to land → family and business follow-up planning
Now is the window to layout Singapore. If you miss this year’s policy, it will only get stricter next year.
If you’re ready, we can help you go steadier, faster, and longer.
