What is the difference between SP license and WP license?

The difference between SP license and WP license is that:

First, the types of jobs applied for are different.

Work permit (WP) is the lowest level of work permit in Singapore, which is applicable to those who apply for labor services in Singapore, that is, the "blue-collar" in China, and is issued to foreign workers, which is called labor permit. S PASS (SP) is the work permit for those who apply for professional and technical jobs in Singapore, which is also the "gray collar" in China.

Two, the applicant's education and salary requirements are different.

WP applicants have no salary and education requirements. The salary of SP applicants is above S $65,438+0,800/month, and the academic qualifications require college education or technical qualification certification (technical certification required for at least one year of full-time study).

Third, the working years are different.

WP work permits are generally valid for two years. SP applicants can apply for a work permit of 1 to 2 years as long as they find an employer in Singapore. The applicant can enter and leave the country indefinitely during his stay, and the permit can be extended as long as the applicant is still employed.

Fourth, the qualifications for applying for PR (permanent resident) are different.

WP workers cannot apply for PR (permanent resident). SP can apply to become a PR (permanent resident). After working in SP for half a year and living in Singapore for two years, you can apply for PR (permanent resident).

Fifth, job-hopping restrictions are different.

WP can only work for the employer, and cannot change employers. If you change employers, you need to leave the country. SP can change jobs within the validity period of Singapore license, and the degree of freedom is higher than WP.

6. Employers pay different amounts of government labor tax.

WP license is subject to government labor tax of S $200/month. The SP license requires a government labor tax of S $80 per month.

Seven, the family license (DP) application qualifications are different.

Family members of WP license holders cannot apply for family license DP. SP permit holders with a monthly basic salary of more than S $2,500 can apply for a relative permit for their spouses and children (under 2 1 year).
