如何在新加坡开设公司并通过EP移居新加坡？

You plan to open a company in Singapore (or you already have a company) and you want to move to Singapore: The most common choice for moving is EP-a visa that your company applies for and invites you to work. Let us understand what procedures are required to move to Singapore with an EP and why it is the easiest to do so.

What is EP?

Employment Pass (EP) is a work visa issued for a specific company, which can invite foreign professionals, managers, managers and technicians. EP allows you to work exclusively for the company, allows you to live in Singapore and bring your family to Singapore. The EP is valid for 1 or 2 years and you can apply for renewal.

Why is it easier to apply for EP than other visas?

The required documents are simpler: if you apply for an EntrePass visa designed for entrepreneurs, you must provide proof of solvency. To do this, you need to obtain government funding, or support from a business incubator, or a strong record that can prove the success of your early business. To apply for an EP, you only need to prove that you are the person your company needs to hire.

What materials do I need to provide?

Since EP is a work visa, you need to be a professional and very suitable for the company's position. Visa officers usually pay attention to the following matters:

• Fixed salary: Salary reflects your value and your ability to support yourself and your family
• Professional experience that matches the desired position: the more impressive your resume, the better your chances of earning an EP
• Education: A good university degree can give you extra points. If academic qualifications are not your strengths, use experience and salary to make up for it
• Company profile and product introduction: A reliable employer will make it easier for you to obtain EP

In some cases, the authorities may require you to take a medical examination. The medical examination can be completed in one day, and you can do it in Singapore or your local hospital that can provide English medical reports.

What should my salary be?

大学毕业生的最低标准是每月3600新币。如果您经验丰富，那么每月是6000新币-8000新币。如果您计划将家人带到新加坡，那么薪水必须更高，比如高达12000新币，以养活您的父母。您的年龄和国籍也是影响因素，如果您的年龄超过了50岁，那么您的薪水标准很有可能上浮15％-20％。

您还可以在人力部（MOM）官网进行自我评估测试来评估您获得EP的机会。

我是否需要亲自来新加坡申请EP？

您无需亲自前往新加坡，当地代理商可以以您的公司名义提交申请。一旦您的EP准备就绪，您将获得一份IPA（原则上批准信），作为前往新加坡的一次性签证，有效期为6个月。

如何带着我的家人随行？

您可以为您的配偶和未满21岁的未婚子女申请家属通行证（DP）。您也可以申请长期探访准证（LTVP），将您的合法配偶、父母、残障子女或继子女带入新加坡。但您需要确保您的薪水可以证明您有能力养活您带来的所有人。

申请EP需要多长时间？

如果您从现有公司申请，可在1-2个月内得到EP。如果您计划注册公司，那么您需要3-6个月的时间才能收到EP。

申请EP需要多少钱？

代理商的价格是：EP申请费用800新币-1200新币，每个DP费用为400新币-500新币。请与代理商核实，若申请失败，他们是否退还部分费用。

如果我的申请被拒绝了怎么办？

若申请被拒绝，您将有3个月的申诉时间。您最好找一个专业代理商为您申诉：他们了解申请被拒的典型原因，并且知道如何让您看起来更加符合人力部的要求，该过程大约需要1-2个月。如果您的申诉也遭到了拒绝，那么您需要从头再来，重新申请EP。

若持有EP，我可以成为永久居民吗？

Yes, we recommend that you apply for permanent resident status for yourself, your spouse and children after 12 months. But in theory, you can also apply immediately after obtaining the EP.
