Eligible Training Categories
Employers may apply for foreign students or trainees from an overseas office or subsidiary. Student attachments must form part of the course, with either an acceptable institution or fixed salary of at least S$3,000. Overseas-office or subsidiary trainees need fixed salary of at least S$3,000.
Evidence and Application Restrictions
MOM may request qualification verification or overseas-company ownership evidence. A previous holder cannot obtain another Training Employment Pass for the same training type. Unusually high application or holder numbers or proportions compared with similar firms may lead to rejection. Explain genuine training objectives and relationships.
Duration and Alternatives
Training Employment Pass lasts up to three months and cannot be renewed. Students may separately review the Work Holiday Programme; trainees may review Training Work Permit for semi-skilled or unskilled training. Each alternative has its own criteria.
Planning the Attachment
Confirm the academic or corporate basis, then document location, supervisor, duties, pay and dates. Plan around the non-renewable duration. Any later long-term employment needs a separate review under the appropriate work-pass rules.
