Personalised Employment Pass (PEP)
The Personalised Employment Pass (PEP) is a premium work pass for top-tier professionals who desire the flexibility to work and change jobs in Singapore without being tied to one employer. To qualify, professionals must have a strong earning potential and a proven track record of excellence in their careers. Embrace the opportunity for professional growth and mobility in Singapore with the PEP.
Personalised Employment Pass

Unlike the standard Employment Pass, the PEP does not require a sponsorship from a Singaporean company, offering greater career autonomy and the ability to switch jobs without affecting the validity of the pass. The PEP is issued for 3 years and it is non-renewal.
