A rejected work pass costs you time, money and momentum — and a careless application can hurt the next one. As a licensed employment agency, we look at your situation honestly first: does your candidate actually qualify, do you have the quota, what’s the levy exposure? Then we apply — properly.
Assess first, apply second. That’s how you avoid wasted applications.
Whether a pass gets approved is mostly decided up front — by whether the candidate genuinely qualifies, whether you have quota, and how the case is put together. That’s where we work: at the assessment, not just the submission.
It’s tempting to just submit an EP and hope. But a weak case wastes your application fee and your time — and a rejection can make the next attempt harder. We assess whether your candidate realistically qualifies before anything is filed, so you’re not paying to find out the hard way.
S Pass and Work Permit hiring is capped by quota and carries monthly levies that add up fast. Hire without checking, and you hit a wall or an unexpected cost. We work out your quota headroom and levy exposure first, so your hiring plan actually holds together.
EP isn’t just about salary — qualifications, role, and the points-based COMPASS framework all matter. Some candidates look fine on paper but won’t clear. We assess each candidate honestly and tell you where you really stand — not just what you want to hear.
For established companies, the questions are different: renewals coming due, extensions, headcount changes, quota as you grow. We help you plan hiring and pass renewals around where your business is heading — come discuss it with us before you commit.
There are two ways to approach a work pass. One wastes money; the other doesn’t. Here’s the difference.
We review the candidate, the role, your quota and levy position, and the likelihood of approval before anything is submitted. If it’s strong, we apply properly the first time. If it’s weak, we tell you — and what to fix.
Submit without checking, and a borderline case can come back rejected. You’ve lost the fee and the weeks of waiting — and a rejection on record can make the next application tougher to argue.
In other words: skipping the assessment is the expensive option, not the cheap one.

DP and LTVP applications for the family members of your pass holders, handled alongside the main pass.
You can — but if the candidate doesn’t clearly qualify, you risk losing the application fee and the waiting time, and a rejection can make the next attempt harder. We’d rather assess the case honestly first and tell you where you really stand. If it’s strong, we apply properly; if it’s not, we save you the wasted application.
Broadly: the Employment Pass is for professionals, managers and executives; the S Pass is for mid-skilled staff and is subject to quota and levy; and the Work Permit is for semi-skilled workers in sectors like construction, manufacturing and services. Each has its own criteria, and the right one depends on the role and the person — which is part of what we assess.
COMPASS is MOM’s points-based framework for Employment Pass applications. It looks at factors like salary, qualifications, and how your workforce profile compares to local benchmarks. It means an EP isn’t guaranteed just because the salary is met — so we assess your candidate against it before applying.
For S Pass and Work Permit holders, MOM limits how many you can hire relative to your local workforce (quota), and you pay a monthly levy for each. The exact ratios and levy rates are set by MOM and depend on your sector, and they change over time. We work out your current quota headroom and levy exposure so your hiring plan is realistic.

Absolutely — that’s a lot of what we do. We handle renewals before they lapse, plan additional hires around your quota, and help you think through headcount as you grow. Come discuss your situation with us and we’ll map out what’s workable.
It depends on the pass type and the work involved, which is exactly why we start with an assessment and a proper discussion before anything is committed. Talk to us about your situation and we’ll be clear with you on what’s involved.
