Employment Pass
Language
The Singapore Employment Pass is divided into Self-Employed Employment Pass (EP) and General Employment Pass (EP).
- Employment Pass (EP)● Applicants do not hold the status of a shareholder, and apply as an employee of the company.
- Self-Employed Employment Pass● Applicants hold company shares (also known as the owner of the company) and apply for an Employment Pass (EP).
There is no difference between the pass classifications of Self-Employed Employment Pass (EP) and Employment Pass (EP), however because of the diverse responsibilities the applicant plays in the organization, there are differences in the approval criteria when applying for Permanent Resident (PR).
