As Singapore continues to become more attractive to the world’s top talent, itsEmployment Pass (EP) vetting standards are becoming increasingly stringent. For young and growing companies, applying for anEPfor a second core executiveis often more complicated than the first application.
Recently, we have successfully assistedMr.Z, the Vice President of Technology of a technology company,to obtain the SingaporeEPapproval with high efficiency when his company was established just over two years ago,and it took only3working daysfrom submission to approval.
I. Case background:the challenge of a“secondEP”for a new company
The client,Mr.Z(b. 1984), serves as Vice President of Technology for a technology company. The companywas established inOctober2022and has successfully applied for anEP. The plan is to introduceMr.Zas the second R&D core to expand the international R&D business.
The key challenge for this application was thatthe company was established for a relatively short period of time.The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) inSingaporelooks at new companies, especially when applying for multipleEPs, to see the authenticity of the business, the potential for growth and the real need for senior positions. This means that the application must be a strong demonstration of boththe individual’s exceptional qualificationsandthe company’s indispensability for the position.
Second, the solution: account managers throughout the fine planning and execution
In the face of the challenge, our account managerprovided Mr.Zwith in-depth one-on-one service throughout the entire process and precisely tailored the application strategy:
1ใDouble threshold precision to reach the standard
We first ensured thatMr.Z‘s personal qualifications not only metMOM‘s latest salary thresholds, but alsolaid a solid foundationby focusingona compensation packagethat metthe criteria ofa “senior expert“for hissenior background of over40years of age.
2. In-depth demonstration of the necessity of the post
This was central to the success of the application. We assisted our client in the preparation ofa “Company Development Documentation Package“, which goes well beyond the basic registration documents and focuses on:
3. Evidence of real business
Combing through the company’s commercial contracts, revenue records, etc. since its inception to demonstrate its active operational status and growth trends.
4. Strategic job descriptions
Detailed description of the strategic value of the VP of Technology position for the company to overcome key technologies and expand into the Southeast Asian market, elevating the employment relationship to the level of the company’s growth strategy.
5. Local contribution planning
Assist the company in drawing up a clear plan for local team building in Singapore that demonstrates a long-term commitment to the local talent ecosystem, which iscritical inMOM‘sCOMPASSassessment framework.
6. Efficient and seamless hosting throughout the entire process
From checking the list of materials, preparing the documents, tofilling out and submitting themthrough theEP Onlinesystem, our account managers realized the whole process of follow-up and hosting. Rigorous and meticulous preparation ensured that the application materials were reviewed in one go, avoiding delays due to supplementary documents.
