You cannot apple for an Employment Pass by yourself. You potential employer must apply for it on your behalf. If issued, it is only good for working with THAT employer. If you want to change employers, you pass will be canceled and the new employer has to apply for a new pass. This can get hazardous as while the first employer managed to get approval, there is no guarantee that the next employer will be able to secure one. This is especially so with the tightening up of criteria. I'm have had employees being rejected for renewals for "no longer qualified under the new guidelines".

Forget to say, i am ASEAN people, so i dont need visa to be in singapore.
I am working overseas, that's why my salary is in USD.
I checked the MoM website and my salary is eligible to get those available "pass".

Q:
so is it really there isnt any other way to get one of those "passes" (EP/PEP/S.pass/........) without involvement of potential employer?

i am desperate to work in singapore

This "hazardous" only applies to one who needs VISA, doesnt it?
if you dont need visa, then you have no risk between changing job.

Which part of my previous post did you not understand?

Frankly, I don't care if you are the queen of sheba! If you are not from Singapore then you need a visa to come here. It might only be a social visa (SVP) to come in as a tourist. In order to WORK in Singapore, if you are NOT a Singaporean or PR, then you need an employment pass. The only way to get an employment pass is to find an employer willing to hire you. That employer will have to apply for an employment pass so that you can work with him. If you leave that employer you might not get approved by MOM for the new employer. If that happens, you will be given a social visit pass with a two week duration. After that is up, if you haven't found another position, you will have to leave Singapore. How hard is that to understand?

The website only tell you if your prospective salary with your new employer is enough. The only pass that care about your current or previous salary is the PEP. And that you don't qualify for. It also does not guarantee that your application will be approved. It only tells you that your educational qualifications wont be the cause of rejection. But there could be lots of locals with the same qualifications so you still could be rejected anyway.

in MoM website it said you could have applied for PEP, so then you ll have no dependency with your worker.. Example if you have EP with a company, then you wanna quit, you just need to apply PEP and you ll have 6 months period to find another company who ll provide you EP.

your comment is not reliable, why dont you let any people answer if you dont know what you say...

[sundaymorningstaple]

Are you earning over 7,000 a month? No

Are you already working here for two to five years on a lesser pass? No.

Therefore you don't qualify for a PEP. EOS.

your last statement is correct, but i was saying it not for me, but for all other reader, who is in singapore and might read about your previous comment about the risk to changing job.

and if one is ASEAN, then we have no worries to changing jobs, we can stay there jobless, just as tourist till get the new job.

they will only give you the 14 -30 days first visa free entry. but if you do not find a job you can extend...

anyway to the op even if you are ASEAN, the risk is there is no guarantee you will get the EP, SPASS, or WP even ifyou do find an employer to apply for you that is what sms is saying. But to answer your original question, no you cant get an EP without an employer. Unless you wanna start your own business and apply for entrepass.

You are so wrong.

You have no more rights to stay here than someone from the UK, Australia, France, Germany, Myanmar, or from the Czech Republic or your own country. Once your Employment Pass has been canceled, you are given a 14 to 30 days visa in order to find new employment, and it cannot be extended 'unless' you have a pending application by a new employer. Failing which, you will have to leave the country to your home of record and then return again.
