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 Singapore 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. 

Read on for our comprehensive guide on everything you need to know about LVTP, including its eligibility, conditions, application process, and requirements. If you require assistance to start your business journey in Singapore and apply for the Employment Pass, please don’t hesitate to <a href="https://osome.com/sg/contact-us/">contact us</a>!

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).

One of the most common fundraising strategies for startups, especially in Indonesia, is to <a href="/sg/guides/company-registration-in-singapore/">set up a Singapore company</a>. But how exactly do you set up a holding company abroad? Is it going to benefit your business? And how do you pay taxes in both Indonesia and Singapore if you’re managing a cross-border business? All this and more was discussed in a webinar that engaged tax and legal professionals from Singapore and Indonesia.

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

Getting the Singapore PR 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.

An Employment Pass (EP) and S Pass are two different work passes that allow foreign nationals to legally work in Singapore for a locally incorporated company. The <a href="/sg/guides/s-pass-application/">S Pass</a> is for mid-skilled staff and the EP is for highly skilled professionals.

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.

To help you along, we’ve broken down the eligibility criteria for an S Pass and Employment Pass and unpacked the minimum salary requirements and quota (for S Pass) so you can feel confident when planning which is best for you and your prospective new hires.

These rates are current as of March 2022. However, there are upcoming changes to the <a href="/sg/guides/employment-pass/">Employment Pass</a> (not to confuse with <a href="/sg/blog/entrepass-scheme-singapore/">Singapore EntrePass</a>) and S Pass that will start in September 2022. More changes will happen in September 2023 and September 2025.
