The Singapore ONE Pass, officially the Overseas Networks & Expertise Pass, is designed for top talent in sectors like business, arts and culture, sports, academia, and research. It targets individuals with high earnings or outstanding achievements who can contribute to Singapore's economy. This makes it ideal for elite professionals and creatives seeking long-term stays with work flexibility.
Eligibility requires a fixed monthly salary of at least S$30,000 (about USD 22,500) for 12 consecutive months from an established overseas company, or a prospective job in Singapore with the same salary from an established firm (market cap US$500M or revenue US$200M). Alternatively, qualify via outstanding achievements in sports, arts, culture, academia, or research without salary criteria. Applications are assessed case-by-case by MOM.
You need a fixed monthly salary of at least S$30,000 for the past 12 months from one employer at an established company, or a confirmed prospective role in Singapore meeting the same threshold. The salary must be fixed, excluding variables like bonuses. Other income sources may be considered case-by-case, but the primary threshold is S$30,000 monthly.
Yes, dependents are allowed, including family members who can apply for Dependant’s Pass or Long-Term Visit Pass. Spouses and children can join the primary pass holder in Singapore. Apply separately via the official MOM portal after the main pass approval.
The pass is valid for 60 months (5 years) and is renewable for additional 5-year periods. Renewal requires meeting one criterion: average fixed monthly salary of S$30,000 over the past 5 years in Singapore, or operating a company employing 5 locals at EP minimum salary. Apply up to 6 months before expiry.
Yes, this visa leads to permanent residency (PR), though the exact years to PR are not specified. Existing pass holders who have worked in Singapore for at least 1 year may have pathways. It positions top talent for long-term integration.
Yes, local work is permitted with no specified local income limit. The pass allows employment flexibility across sectors for top talent. Holders can also start businesses meeting renewal criteria.
Apply online via the MOM eService portal; processing takes not specified but typically 4 weeks. Submit when prospective employment starts within 6 months. Check status on the MOM portal.
For outstanding achievements track (sports, arts, culture, academia, research), provide evidence of key accomplishments reviewed holistically by MOM and agencies like MCCY or NRF. Salary-based applicants need proof of fixed S$30,000 monthly pay and company establishment. Detailed list available on MOM site.
Rejections often occur if salary doesn't meet S$30,000 fixed threshold from one employer, company fails establishment criteria (e.g., under US$500M market cap), or achievements lack sufficient evidence. Prospective employment must start within 6 months. Appeals are possible via MOM.
Renewal requires average S$30,000 fixed monthly salary over past 5 years in Singapore, or running a company with 5 locals at EP minimum salary. Existing holders need 1 year Singapore work experience. Apply up to 6 months prior.
