Choose a Category and Meet Its Conditions
MOM assesses ONE Pass case by case. Choose the applicable category and meet its conditions together. Ordinary salary routes use fixed monthly salary; the upcoming AI and Tech route has different remuneration components. Do not mix stock and fixed pay across routes.
Current or Last-Held Employment
The preceding 12 consecutive months require fixed monthly salary of at least S$30,000 or foreign-currency equivalent. Where applicable, employment must be with an established overseas company for those 12 months. Its market capitalisation must reach US$500 million or annual revenue US$200 million; global totals may be considered. Existing pass holders need at least one year of Singapore work.
Prospective Singapore Employment
Prospective employment must pay at least S$30,000 fixed monthly salary at an established Singapore-based company meeting the corresponding scale criteria. Global totals remain subject to assessment. Submit only when employment will begin within six months; an unconfirmed intention is not a final employment arrangement.
Outstanding Achievements
Outstanding achievements in sports, arts and culture, or academia and research may qualify without the salary criteria. MOM and relevant agencies review work and key achievements holistically. Follow the category’s evidence requirements rather than relying only on a general CV or expert label.
AI and Tech Track: From 28 January 2027
This track starts on 28 January 2027. The preceding 12 months require monthly earnings of at least S$30,000, including fixed salary of at least S$22,500; vested non-cash components may count subject to assessment. At least five cumulative years within the past ten must be in technology founder/C-suite or technical roles. Current or last employment must be in a tech company, tech division or tech VC.
AI/Tech Company Scale and Multiple Employers
For AI/Tech, the company needs valuation or market cap of US$500 million, annual revenue US$200 million, AUM US$500 million, or funding of US$30 million for tech start-ups only. The ordinary S$30,000 fixed-salary requirement must come from one employer: S$20,000 plus S$10,000 fails that test, while S$30,000 plus S$5,000 meets the salary example. Other income is assessed individually.
ONE Pass Renewal
Renewal is for five years at a time. One route is average fixed monthly salary of S$30,000 over the preceding five years in Singapore; the other is operating a Singapore company employing at least five locals, each earning gross monthly salary of at least the prevailing EP minimum. Renewal can be requested up to six months before expiry. Maintain genuine ongoing records.
