S pass salary criteria (with effect from 1 January 2019)

With effect from 1 January 2019, criteria will be $2,300. And from 01 Jan 2020 the criteria will be raised again from $2,300 to $2400.

The S Pass is for mid-skilled foreign employees (e.g. technicians) who meet these criteria:

  • Fixed monthly salary of at least $2,300. The salary should reflect work experience. Older, more experienced applicants need higher salaries to qualify.
  • A Degree or diploma may be considered technical certificates, such as courses for qualified technicians or specialists. The certification should include at least 1 year of full-time study.
  • Years of relevant work experience.

Application for an S Pass is open to all nationalities.
