ONE Pass aims to address the long-term needs of globally leading talent in arts and culture, sports, research and academia. Applicants can qualify via the salary criterion route or by demonstrating outstanding achievements. ONE Pass holders can concurrently start, switch and operate multiple companies without having to reapply for the work pass. ONE Pass also provides 5-year extensions to enable smooth transitions and succession planning.
Overseas Networks & Expertise (ONE) Pass
The ONE Pass is more than a work visa. It’s designed to attract elite professionals with extraordinary industry networks and expertise. It also allows them to contribute and expand their networks locally and internationally. Candidates must be currently earning a fixed salary of at least $30,000 or will be able to earn this in their future employment in Singapore. They must also have outstanding achievements in either business, arts and culture, sports, academia and research.
Unlike other work passes in Singapore, the ONE Pass grants 5-year extensions, which reduces the hassle of renewal and creates greater stability for pass holders. It also exempts employers from having to adhere to the Fair Consideration Framework job advertising guidelines when hiring ONE Pass holders. Moreover, spouses of ONE Pass holders are eligible to work on a Letter of Consent.
Industry Expertise
Industry expertise is a crucial skill for individuals in any field. It allows them to stay up-to-date on market trends, competition, and customer behaviour. This can be achieved through years of experience, education, or research. By understanding the nuances of their industry, professionals with this skill can identify roadblocks and take advantage of opportunities to grow their business. They can also use their knowledge to develop products and services that capitalise on emerging trends.
Conclusion
The ONE Pass is Singapore’s premier work visa for business, arts, culture, sports, science and technology, and research and academia. ONE Pass holders can concurrently start and operate multiple companies in Singapore. Exceptional achievers can qualify for the ONE Pass, even without meeting the salary criterion. Examples include winning prestigious regional or international prizes for their artistic endeavours. With the aim to attract top talents globally to Singapore, this pass is the most flexible out of all work passes available for foreigners.
