Working legally in Singapore [MOM] - Experience In SG (Part 2)
According to my previous blog about working in Singapore, the very first step is search a job online, it may be from those famous job website such as jobsdb.com.sg , jobstreet.com.sg, jobscentral.com.sg. All these are famous website that many people will browse around to get a job.
What’s next after throw in all application ? of course waiting for reply whether through call or by email. After the reply will be schedule for an interview to secure for the job. Yes! Get the offer after the interview. What a good news from the application and yet all worries will be following as well. First things that come to your mind will be –what is the proper procedure to work legally here? Is there any tricks in between employer here and urself? Here you go for the proper procedure:
Most company will ask the candidate to fill up bunch of document to apply for Employment Pass, Work Permit, or S Pass. Document that always needed is a full set of education certification and of course passport copy. It always took around 1-2weeks to get approval.
All details regarding that 3 passes can get from www.mom.gov.sg
Or more specifically for that 3 passes is as following:

http://www.mom.gov.sg/publish/momportal/en/communities/work_pass/work_permit.html ( Work Permit )
http://www.mom.gov.sg/publish/momportal/en/communities/work_pass/s_pass.html ( S Pass )
Your company will submit all necessary documents to the MOM, and usually it will take 1-2 weeks time to get approval. after the approval, your company will inform you and with the approval letter you need to do a medical checkup at the appointed medical centre here.
After getting the medical report, you will need to go to the MOM office personally and collect for your Work pass, and of course there is charges for the passes upon collection, the fees charges depends to the duration apply by your company. The fees always can reimburse later from your employer.
My.View : For me, when I were here for my first job is with EP pass, mostly degree holder will get EP pass. But I do have friend that get S Pass which all these are depends to the preference of the company application. This is due to each company will have different quota for all employees passes. So, please do clarify with the company when get job offer.
MOM office location : 18 Havelock Road, Singapore 059764
