Just ask - what is S pass in Singapore

Hi JoJo Pau Ans the S pass or Skill Pass issue in Singapore information as follows:- The S Pass or Skill pass is for mid-level skilled labour who earn a fixed monthly salary of at least $1,800. S Pass applicants will be assessed on a points system, taking into account multiple criteria including salary, education qualifications, skills, job type and work experience. S Pass applicants accumulate points based on how far they meet the criteria. Salary - refers to a minimum fixed salary of $1,800. Qualification - generally refers to degree or diploma level educational qualifications. Technical certificates can be considered. These are, very broadly, courses that train the applicant to be a qualified technician or specialist in their chosen field. The certification should comprise of at least one year of full-time study. Job type - generally refers to professional, specialist or technician level jobs. Years of Work Experience - generally refers to the number of relevant years of work experience that the applicant has for in the job being applied for. Work Permit holders who wish to apply for the S Pass must ensure that they meet the above requirements. However, the S pass holder they had a quota about 25% for the Singapore company total work force and compulsory for the company to buy medical insurance. The insurance must cover at least $S5000 for in patient care and day surgery quite similarity like Philihealth insurance in Philippine. As for family members to come to Singapore the S Pass the applicants must attain a fixed monthly salary of more than $2,500 a month may apply for a Dependant's Pass (DP)for their family members. The DP application and the supporting documents may be submitted together with the S Pass application or separately. S Pass holders who earn less than $2,500 per month are not allowed to bring in their dependants, i.e. spouses, children and other family members. However, if your children of such S Pass holders wish to study in mainstream public schools in Singapore, they will have to pass a Qualifying Test (QT) or the Admissions Exercise for International Students (AEIS).
