Can I work in Singapore?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Employment Pass: SGD 6,200+ a month in banking at 23, more with age (6,600 from January 2027), plus 40 COMPASS points for pay, degree, nationality mix and local hiring.
Before you apply: Dealing, advising and senior roles usually need a regulator's licence or approval, which checks your honesty, skills and finances. Ask if your job does.
Watch for: You score 0 nationality points when your nationality is 25% or more of the firm's professionals and managers; the job is usually advertised to locals for 14 days first.
