Personalised Employment Pass (PEP) discontinued for new applications

Repealed Visa & immigration

MOM discontinued new Personalised Employment Pass applications from September 2023. The PEP — which had allowed mid-tier mobile professionals to retain a Singapore work-pass independent of any single employer — was effectively superseded by the higher-bar ONE Pass and the recalibrated EP. Existing PEP holders continue to operate under their existing terms until expiry.

Who it affects

Mid-tier global mobile professionals previously using the PEP.
