A Personalised Employment Pass (PEP) is a type of work visa in Singapore that does not tie you with any one particular employer, like an employment pass. With a PEP, a foreigner can easily switch jobs in Singapore without re-applying for an entry visa or another work pass.

As long as the PEP holder has not been unemployed for more than a six-month period and meets all the pre-requisite criteria, he/she can stay in the country and start a job with a new employer anytime simply by informing the Ministry of Manpower (MoM).



An individual must pass the following requirements for a personalised employment pass Singapore:

You must earn a minimum fixed salary of SGD 22,500 per month and should have earned a fixed annual salary of SGD 270,000 in the previous year

You must not be unemployed for a period of more than six months prior; otherwise, a new application will be required if you are currently under a PEP status.

If you are an overseas individual, you must be earning at least SGD 18,000 per month, and your last earned salary must not be before six months at the time of applying for a PEP.
