Check My EligibilityIf you are applying from overseas, you do not need to be in Singapore to start your PEP application — the entire preparation, filing and tracking can be handled remotely. Once approved, MOM issues an In-Principle Approval (IPA) valid for 6 months, which you use to enter Singapore. Card issuance and collection are completed after your arrival. We coordinate the full process with you regardless of your location.

Fill up FormFrequently Asked Questions (PEP & DP)
Who is eligible for the Personalised Employment Pass (PEP)?
There are two qualifying tracks. Overseas foreign professionals must have a last drawn fixed monthly salary of at least S$22,500 within the last 6 months. Existing Employment Pass holders in Singapore must currently earn a fixed monthly salary of at least S$22,500.
How long is the PEP valid?
The PEP is valid for 3 years and is non-renewable. Before it expires, you must transition to an Employment Pass or another suitable pass if you wish to continue staying in Singapore.
What conditions must I meet to maintain my PEP?
You must attain a fixed annual salary of at least S$270,000 per calendar year — even if you were unemployed for some period during the year. You must also submit an annual notification to MOM declaring your employment and income.
Can a PEP holder run a business or freelance?
No. PEP holders must work for a company and cannot be involved in any business. Unlike an EP, the PEP is not tied to a single employer — so you can change jobs without re-applying — but you must be employed by a company, not self-employed.
How long does the PEP application take?
MOM typically processes PEP applications within 8 weeks, though some cases take longer depending on profile complexity and documentation. We track and follow up actively until a decision is issued.
Can I apply Dependent Passes together with my PEP?
Yes. Dependent Pass applications can be filed together with the PEP or after PEP approval. Eligible dependents include your legally married spouse and unmarried children under 21. Common-law spouses and step-children are covered under LTVP.
Do I need to be in Singapore to apply?
No. Overseas applicants can complete the entire preparation, filing, and tracking process remotely. Once approved, MOM issues an In-Principle Approval (IPA) valid for 6 months, which you use to enter Singapore for card issuance and collection.
Are your service fees inclusive of government fees?
No. Our service fees (S$1,300 for PEP main applicant, S$600 per person for dependents, S$900 per common-law spouse case) are professional fees only. MOM government fees — application, issuance, and visa — are separate and paid directly to the authorities.
Do you guarantee approval?
No consultant can guarantee outcomes — approvals are at MOM's discretion. We focus on accuracy, completeness and compliance, which helps minimise delays and requests for further information.
What if my PEP application is rejected?
An appeal can be lodged with MOM if there are valid grounds — for example, additional supporting documents or clarifications. We will review the rejection letter and advise whether an appeal is recommended.
