An analysis of Singapore's study abroad and work permit policy

Recently, the Chinese community in Singapore has exploded because the Singapore Ministry of Manpower has introduced a new policy of studying abroad. What is the content of this policy? Let's talk about the analysis of the work permit policy in Singapore on 20 18.

The introduction of this new policy by the Ministry of Manpower is based on the consideration of ensuring that SP and EP license holders have enough wages to support their families. The previous minimum wage requirement was S $4,000.

20 18 65438+ 10 1 SP and EP license holders need to earn at least S $6,000 if they want to apply for family licenses for their spouses and children. If you want to apply for a long-term residence permit for your parents, you need to double your salary to at least S $ 12000.

The new application submitted before 2018110,65438 can be compared with the existing application standards.

If you want to renew your family permit/long-term residence permit before 20 18 1, as long as the employer of the main applicant has not changed and holds a valid permit, you can still apply according to the existing application standards.

The Ministry of Manpower of Singapore announced that it will make new adjustments to the policy of issuing permits to the families of foreign employees.

The Ministry of Manpower further adjusted the threshold for EP to apply for DP family permission for family members, and the minimum wage for spouses and children was S $6,000; The minimum wage for parents is 12000 Singapore dollars.

As part of the regular update, the Ministry of Manpower re-examined the qualifications of work permit holders to apply for permits for their families. This is to ensure that the main permit holder can afford the living expenses of his family in Singapore.

From 20 18 10 1, note:

Work permit holders need to meet the minimum wage to apply for family permits for their spouses and children. The minimum wage is S $6,000.

Work permit holders need to meet the minimum wage before they can apply for a family permit for their parents. The minimum wage is S $65,438+S $02,000.

If you apply for a new family member permit (DP) for your spouse and children and a long-term residence permit (LTVP) for your parents, if you submit your application before 20 18 1, you can follow the existing application criteria.

If the family permit and long-term residence permit expire before 20 18 1, the existing application criteria can be followed, but the main applicant needs to work in the same employer and hold a valid permit.

Here, I would like to give you a detailed introduction to the two licenses affected by this adjustment:
