Can I work in Singapore with a long visa?

Yes.

The latest work pass (WorkPass) system implemented by the Ministry of Manpower in Singapore provides foreign workers working in Singapore with different passes to replace the original employment pass and work pass. This system is implemented mainly to attract more talents to work, live and study abroad in Singapore.

The following are the requirements for these different work visas:

WP:

It is the lowest level of work abroad permit in Singapore, issued to foreign workers, called Labor permit. You can only work for the employer you applied for, and you are not allowed to change employers. If you change employers, you need to leave the country. The current regulations are that workers only need to have a technical secondary school or high school degree or above, and WP workers cannot apply for PR.

SP:

It is a work permit for overseas laborers with certain skills. It is better than WP and has higher requirements. They must have certain skills or diplomas. Generally, a college degree is required. above. Those who can change jobs within the validity period of the Singapore Pass have a higher degree of freedom than WP and can apply to become PR. After holding SP and EP for half a year and living in Singapore for two years, you can apply for PR.

EP:

The general educational requirement for EP is for overseas workers to have a bachelor’s degree or above. The rights of EP are basically the same as those of SP, except that the salary will be higher than that of SP, generally reaching a monthly salary of more than 2,500. You can apply for a credit card from the bank, and the mortgage rights for shopping will be higher than that of SP.
