Dear All! I hope you are all doing fine.
After couple of years in London, couple in Barcelona and others around the world, my girflriend an I are planning to relocate to Singapore.
We are both >6 years of professionial experience in Multinationals, both >8000 SGD gross per month and although the Singapore website are created with a lovely attention for details, I am getting quite confused:
Do I need a SignPass to apply for a PEP? and do I need a PEP to apply for a SignPass? I am getting quite confused here.
I know we still have 4 weeks before the PEP requirements move from 8k to 18k (isn't that A LOT?!?!) and I hope some good samaritan could help me understand?
thanks a lot!

Basically you need a SingPass to apply for a PEP, or a local person / company to make the application on your behalf here (if you are applying from overseas). Have a read of this new thread from today which has info on the new criteria that apply from 1st December. There's a link from that post to the MOM website where you can find more details on the PEP application process. Also, I'd recommend using the search function (above here and to the right, underneath the 'Profile' button) to have a dig around the forum; the PEP is quite a popular area of discussion these days, so you should find some useful comments that way.
Be careful what you wish for

You also need a job offer and/or business more or less established before you can apply for a pass (a PEP, EP, etc). If your company is relocating you (? didn't seem like they are) you should be OK but otherwise, SP will not just give you a PEP. Especially these days - they're not liking foreigners much at the moment.

movingtospore, this is incorrect. You do NOT need a job offer and/or business in order to apply for the PEP. EP: Yes; PEP is based on your own self and is not tied to any employer. You are self sponsored.
