Request help for work permit opportunities in Singapore

[asheytix]

Hi,

My brother-in-law from vietnamese is keen to work in singapore as a work permit holder, 26 year old this year. My wife is soon to be PR, vietnamese in nationality.

Does anyone have contacts or any information on which he industry or employer he can go to for application of work permit?

He is very keen to any industries because he wants to grab the opportunity and exposure to work in Singapore.

Any advice or help is appreciated ? Many thanks.

He needs to get a job offer FIRST. Then, if he is being paid enough, his experience is good enough, and his educational credentials are good enough, then _maybe_ he will be granted a work permit.

Work Permit is for low/semi-skilled workers, so I assume OP had it right. Unfortunately I have no idea how to find a job hiring under WP - perhaps SMS could provide some ideas.

What I think the OP should check is country related eligibility - not all the passports can get the permit in the specific industries.

You may be right. I interpreted the request as a generic sort of thing... a permit to work in Singapore at some level.

Vietnamese are not allowed WP in any sector of Industry in Singapore.

They are, however, allowed in any industry sector as long as they can apply for a minimum of an S Pass or higher and meet the required academic and experience and minimum income levels required.

That's curious... any idea what's behind the ban for WP's?

Not real sure, but I think is a holdover from the 60~70s period as they are still not considered as "traditional source" labour. Don't forget, all the others are from countries who are "not Communist" and after the PAP used the Communist Party to win the elections back in '65 and subsequently threw all the Party Cadre into ISD, they have not much love for the communists (Malaysian riots, Bus riots, etc.) So I have a feeling it's still a holdover from that era, but I cannot confirm nor deny the reason.

Good day,

I just finished my diploma in IT here in singapore last month and I applied for Job and I got accepted and my salary is 2400 pero month, they told me I am not eligible for spass or ep so they are trying to get me a work permit. I am so worried. How many chances that my work permit will be approved?

Thank you.

Hello there,

I was offered a Job already and my salary is 2400 per month. My grades are good enough. I have straight A’s on my 8 modules. But I do not have experience since I am a fresh grad. Maybe that is one of the reason why I am not eligible for Spass. So what I would like to know. Do you think I can get a work permit? Since its lower that spass?

Hello,

What is the minimum income level required for that? And does it concern the family in general or only the applicant?
