Dear Client,
Thank you for reaching out to Bestar regarding your Employment Pass (EP) application for Singapore. We would be delighted to assist you with a seamless submission process.

Minimum Qualifying Salary: Starts at SGD 5,000/month for general sectors (increases with age, up to SGD 10,500 at age 45+) and SGD 5,500/month for the Financial Services sector.
COMPASS Framework: Applications must score at least 40 points across criteria including salary, qualifications, diversity, and support for local employment.
Verification Proof: Academic qualifications listed in the application must be verified by a MOM-approved background check agency.

Pass Duration | Up to 2 years for first-time candidates; up to 3 years for renewals. |
Processing Time | Generally 10 to 20 business days via MOM Online. |
Dependants | Fixed monthly salary of SGD 6,000+ qualifies spouse and children for Dependant's Passes (DP). |
Bestar Professional Fees & MOM Official Costs
