No application needed from the employer
For an EP or S Pass, the employer applies and has to wait for the assessment. With a Work Holiday Pass, you already hold the pass, so the employer can hire you without applying for a work pass and pays no levy. The paperwork for the employer is light.
MOM states that you do not need to notify MOM if your address, employment status or employer changes.
Look for work knowing it ends after 6 months
The pass lasts 6 months and cannot be renewed. When applying, telling the employer until when you can work in Singapore makes things go more smoothly.
If you want to keep working beyond 6 months, you need an employer to apply for a different work pass (EP, S Pass, etc.).
FAQ
＋Can I do any job with a Work Holiday Pass?
Most jobs are allowed, but for occupations that require registration or qualifications, such as medicine and law, you must follow the registration requirements of that occupation.
＋Can I work several part-time jobs at once?
MOM says you do not need to notify it when your employer changes, but we could not find an MOM page that specifically addresses working for several employers at the same time. Check with MOM before taking on more than one job.
