Overview
Everything you need to know about Singapore immigration in 2026
Singapore is Asia's leading financial, tech and biotech hub — hosting regional HQs for Google, Meta, Grab, Shopee, TikTok, Sea, Standard Chartered, Rakuten and dozens of Indian conglomerates. Mark Consultant, among the best visa and immigration consultants for Singapore in Pune, files Employment Pass (EP), S Pass, Overseas Networks & Expertise (ONE) Pass, EntrePass, Student Pass, Dependant Pass and Singapore Permanent Residence (PR) applications through MOM (Ministry of Manpower) and ICA channels.
Singapore's Employment Pass (EP) framework was overhauled with the COMPASS (Complementarity Assessment) points system in September 2023 — every EP applicant is scored on salary, qualifications, employer diversity, employer support for local hiring and skills bonus.
Minimum EP qualifying salary is SGD 5,600 (SGD 6,200 in financial services) — indexed annually. Older applicants require higher salary bands.
The Overseas Networks & Expertise (ONE) Pass is a 5-year personalised work permit for top-tier professionals earning SGD 30,000+/month or with exceptional achievement in arts, science, academia or sports.
Singapore PR is by discretion — assessed on economic contribution, social integration, family ties and long-term commitment. Naturalisation follows PR with additional integration and residency conditions.
