Mr. L’s EP approved in 4 days

In 2022, to facilitate the international transformation and to expand the Group, Mr. L decided to set up a company in Singapore after consulting with the group’s senior management to accelerate the layout of the international market. Through the recommendation of friends in the industry, Mr. L established an excellent cooperative relationship with Go Global Gem. According to the actual situation of Mr. L and the requirements of COMPASS, Go Global Gem tailored a solution for him. Due to full preparation, it only took 4 working days for Mr. L’s EP to be approved. This is very efficient in the industry. Soon, Mr. L will land in Singapore and start his overseas trip.

What can I do after I get the EP?
After successfully get the EP, you can:
1. Travel and work
In general, the first approved EP is valid for a maximum of 2 years (depending on MOM’s official regulations, it varies); During this period of time, you can freely enter and leave Singapore as many times as possible, and you can also live and work in Singapore.
2. Long-term renewal
Renewable upon expiration for up to three years, subject to eligibility;
3. Family reunion
With a minimum monthly salary of S$5,000, you will be eligible to apply for EP. Should you wish to bring your spouse and children, you need to earn S$6,000 a month. Furthermore, if you need to bring your parents, you need to earn S$12,000 a month.
It is important to note that your employer must file a separate application for each family member. This application can be submitted with the employment Permit application or separately after applying your application.
4. Apply for PR
Usually, an Employment Pass holder is eligible to apply for Singapore Permanent Residency after being approved for more than half a year. This is the same as our domestic “points-based permanent residence registration” and “merit-based recruitment”, and it would provide more competitive advantages if you met the requirements.
Once you have successfully applied for Singapore PR, you and your family can enjoy a full range of services such as housing, medical care and education in Singapore, and even lay a solid foundation for later application to become a local citizen.
