Employers face a quota and a levy
The S Pass has a foreign worker quota for each company. In the services sector, S Pass holders can make up to 10% of the total workforce; in sectors such as construction and manufacturing, up to 15%. The employer must also pay a levy of S$650 per month for each S Pass holder and provide medical insurance for them.
Because of this, companies with few employees may not have room in their quota. It is a good idea to confirm before applying that the employer will apply for an S Pass.
The minimum salary rises from January 2027
For new applications from 1 January 2027, the minimum salary rises to S$3,600 in general (S$5,100 from age 45) and S$4,000 in financial services (the maximum stays at S$5,650). For renewals, the new rates apply to passes expiring on or after 1 January 2028.
Tips when applying
Check whether the job's salary meets the minimum for your age. Declaring qualifications is optional, and work experience and skills are also considered in the assessment.
