Working in Singapore

Work Passes

Foreigners who intend to work in Singapore must have a valid work pass (commonly known as a work visa) before they start work. Please visit the Ministry of Manpower (MOM)’s website for more information on the various types of work pass, eligibility criteria, and application process.  

Foreign media personnel on short-term assignments (up to 60 days) which are not supported or sponsored by any Singapore government agency are required to apply for a Miscellaneous Work Pass (MWP) via MOM’s website.
