S pass application

[Aung86]

May I know how long will be the s pass application time?

one week to 3 months. Depending on where you are from an if the suspect your credentials are fraudulent. If they suspect that, their vetting teams will check out the validity of your documents directly in your country before issuing you a work pass.

Ok. I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic and will use that diploma to apply my S Pass.

You do not have a degree? Good Luck.

How difficult is it to get a S Pass?

My brother is pursuing a design diploma in a private school here. Previously, he has worked for 3 years in the same field in our home country with an e-commerce giant. Further, he also has a degree in computer studies.

He is now applying for full time roles here and most ads are open only to locals. With that, if he does crack in to a company, how hard is it to get a S pass?

In general, it is already hard because design is not a high-niche field that would require Singapore to hire foreigners with that talent (you would need high demand and low supply for this skill for this to happen). One could easily find a Singaporean readily available with design diploma or even degree here.

Secondly, it also depends on the company's own ratio of local and foreign employees. Too many foreign employees = no.

Thanks! I agree, it's a very competitive field. His professors have been saying the same though been broadly encouraging. That kid wants to work in an ad agency here ! Hope for the best for him!

[sundaymorningstaple]

Ad Agency? He ought to talk to Addadude, then. He spend the better part of two decades in that industry.
