The Overseas Network and Expertise Pass (ONE Pass)

The ONE Pass is a 5-year work pass that can be renewed for top talents in various fields. ONE Pass holders can work for multiple companies in Singapore at the same time without needing a new pass or an employer’s support.

The ONE Pass is expected to benefit sectors

Such as green economy and sustainability, biotechnology, agrotechnology, data science and vaccine development, artificial intelligence, cyber security, and automation.

  1. A fixed monthly income of at least SGD 30,000 from one employer in Singapore or abroad in the past or future year.
  2. The minimum income of SGD 30,000 is based on the top 5 percent of EP holders in Singapore. You should generally get your income from one employer (not more than one). 

Reputable Employer

  1. You have worked for at least 1 year for a reputable company* abroad; or
  2. You will work for a reputable company* in Singapore

Exceptional Accomplishments

The MOM will decide what counts as exceptional accomplishment in each field.

Keeping the One Pass

To renew the ONE Pass, you must:

More Benefits

ONE Pass holders do not need to follow the points-based COMPASS and employers who want to hire them do not need to follow the FCF job advertising rule. A big benefit compared to EP is that ONE Pass holders’ spouses can work with a letter of consent. They do not need to apply and qualify for their own work passes.
