If you're a foreign worker in Singapore, the chances are that you've encountered or heard about the foreign worker quota. It's something that employers in Singapore have to adhere to when hiring foreign labour. 

In this article, we'll explore what the foreign worker quota is and how it works. We'll also delve into the eligibility requirements for foreign workers and the criteria used to determine their skills levels.

If you wish to employ foreign workers for your company, you will have to obtain a Work Permit on their behalf. There are several types of work permits available, depending on the nature of the work and the qualifications of the applicant. When your employees’ Work Permit expires, you will have to renew it for them so that they can continue working in the country.

Read on to find out all about the Singapore Work Permit, and its renewal.

In Singapore, Work Permit cancellation is an important process that foreign workers or Singapore expats have to go through. In a nutshell, you are required to cancel a Work Permit when you are no longer in your existing employment, or when the Work Permit expires. Once the Work Permit has been cancelled, you will have to cut the Work Permit in half, and discard it so that it will not be misused. 

In this guide, we cover everything you need to know about Work Permit Cancellation in Singapore.

If you're a foreign national but wish to stay in Singapore for over 30 days, you will have to obtain a Long-Term Visit Pass (LVTP).

With an LTVP, you can stay in Singapore for a period of up to two years, and the pass can be renewed for subsequent periods. The LTVP is different from other types of visas in Singapore, such as the Employment Pass, which is issued to foreign professionals, managers, and executives who are employed by Singapore companies; or the Student Pass, which is issued to foreign students who wish to study in Singapore. 

In a nutshell, the LTVP is specifically designed for those who wish to stay in Singapore for a longer period of time without having to apply for a new visa every few months. 

Singapore is reputable for many things – from its clean streets, one of the best education systems, amazing infrastructure to great food, it's no wonder that Singapore citizenship is highly desired. 

If you are a foreigner, you will have to become a permanent resident first, before you can convert to a Singapore citizen. It may sound cumbersome, but fret not – for we break down everything you need to know, from obtaining a Singapore Permanent Resident (PR) status to becoming a Singapore Citizen (SC).

Singapore is an attractive destination for talents across the world to work and live. Thousands of people apply every year to become Singapore permanent residents, but not all undergo the same application process. You can apply for Singapore Permanent Residence status for the whole family, including yourself, your spouse, and unmarried children below 21.

Getting the <b>Singapore PR</b> status is your first step toward obtaining citizenship in Singapore. More than the PR status, there are many benefits of Singapore PR, including Central Provident Fund benefits, and a host of personal tax reliefs and subsidies.

After registering your company in Singapore and increasing the number of employees in your company, you may want to hire talent from overseas.

If you’re wondering what the difference between an S Pass and an Employment Pass is, the answer is a few things, in fact. Though similar, there are some fundamental differences between these two types of work visas.

With an uncertain future ahead, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has updated the Employment Pass (EP) and S Pass requirements to encourage companies to practice a fair consideration framework for hiring employees, the result of which is to consider candidates locally prior to any foreign hires.

The EP allows foreign professionals to reside and work in Singapore, especially in high-value activities such as ICT and software. Only a Singapore company operating a real-time business can apply for an EP.
