A foreigner whose fixed monthly salary is at least S$2,200 is eligible for an S Pass. S Pass applicants will be assessed on a points system, taking into account various criteria such as salary, educational qualifications, skills, job type and work experience.
Currently, the number of S Pass holders a company can employ is capped at a sub-Dependency Ceiling (sub-DC) of 15% of the company’s total workforce in the Services sector and 20% in the remaining sectors.
