Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored work pass, such as an Employment Pass or S Pass, and the employer handles much of the application process. Eligibility depends on salary, qualifications, experience and current government requirements. Before relocating, confirm the contract, benefits, probation terms, pass sponsorship, medical coverage and working hours.
